Homage to B. Franklin
File Festival
Homage to B. Franklin is an interactive sound installation. Like Franklin, we also got inspired by the glass harps, so popular in the eighteenth century and still enjoyed nowadays. With this reference in mind, we aim to realize a dialogue between the past and the approach to explore sonority from elements of everyday life -like simple crystal glasses filled with water- and the present, in which we use electronic synthesizers and tangible digital interfaces to generate music. In both cases, there is something magical about being able to generate music without necessarily being an instrumentalist, without making use of classical or conventional instruments. In both, the resulting sound is different from what these instruments can generate, but still music. Participation from the audience is essential for this work to make sense. This is not an artwork of mere contemplative character. We are interested in motivating the participation and the dialogue work-individual and between individuals, since this is a project in which one can interact in groups.

l’artiste explore une réalité numérique secondaire, rendue dans ce qu’il appelle une «esthétique de tutoriel Photoshop» ou une «esthétique d’économiseur d’écran de bureau». Ses environnements méticuleusement produits et filmés sont bricolés à partir de sources à la fois échantillonnées et modélisées à la main. Les œuvres sont appropriatives, tant dans leur objet que dans leur esthétique, en utilisant des éléments achetés puis édités pour ses besoins.

Sphere Packing
“Sphere Packing” is a series of 3D-printed pieces designed to concentrate the entire musical production of a composer in a single dense multi-channel device. The size of each sphere is directly proportional to how prolific the composer was, for example the sphere for Johann Sebastian Bach has 48 cm diameter and holds 1100 loudspeakers playing simultaneously Bach’s 1100 different compositions, while the sphere for Hildegaard Von Bingen only has 11 cm diameter and 69 loudspeakers. The project presents at a glance the comparative production volume of many composers. As people are a couple metres away from a sphere they hear a quiet murmur of sounds, but as they approach and put their ear up close to individual speakers they can hone in on specific compositions. The series is inspired by American composer Charles Ives’ practice of simultaneity as a compositional tool.

Odires Mlászho
Odires utiliza a representação do corpo humano disponível nas ilustrações e fotografias e reflete sobre o processo de construção de identidades nas sociedades contemporâneas. Seu trabalho, muitas vezes, põe em questão a autoimagem baseada em padrões de beleza, coragem, poder, masculinidade e feminilidade.more…

Comprised of hundreds of translucent panels and shape-memory wire, Reef utilizes an interface fed by an RGB camera and special software to create an installation that responds to its audience. Choreographed in curling combinations that express both mechanical and natural examples of motion, the work physically reacts to a range of programmed criteria. Criteria can vary from simply the location and proximity of a participant to qualities such as the color of clothing, or whether participants are alone or in groups. The result is an animated environment which explores behavioral possibilities within soft, fluid motion and interaction. Once passive viewers are transformed into engaged users through this dynamic platform, which amplifies the relationship of inhabitants to their built environment.

Fall 2018
“L’installazione di Pierpaolo Piccioli è stata la prima che hai incontrato entrando nello spazio cavernoso. Era come entrare in una cappella, con le tele del monaco artista Sidival Fila appese alle pareti; e sui manichini, mantelle, mantelle e gonne a trapezio disegnate, diceva Piccioli, per evocare la Madonna. Quasi divini nella loro semplicità, non saranno estranei ai suoi seguaci di Valentino.” Nicole Phelp

The Beginnings of Space Travel
Should art make us laugh? Styrian artist Werner Reiterer certainly challenges us to ponder on the sense and nonsenses of our world, but the noir humour and irreverent handling of reality in his approach mean that our first reaction is to laugh out loud. What we make of it afterwards is the long finish, as it were.

Ein Ozean ohne Ufer
Ein Ozean ohne Ufer wurde erstmals während der Biennale der Weltkunst 2007 in Venedig in der entweihten Kirche von San Gallo ausgestellt und besteht aus über 240 Minuten hochauflösendem Inhalt, der auf 65- und 103-Zoll-Plasmadisplays angezeigt wird. Die Arbeit wird in einem vollständig synchronen, sich jedoch ständig weiterentwickelnden Format gezeigt, während sich Einzelpersonen kontinuierlich durch eine bemerkenswerte Welt von Violas Schöpfung bewegen.

JONATHAN SITTHIPHONH
“Les machines de Jonathan Sitthiphonh pourraient rappeler l’univers S.F. – les robots exosquelettes dans les films de James Cameron, notamment. Par leur archaïsme, elles pourraient aussi rappeler l’ingénierie léonardienne. Coincées entre le mythe d’Icare et le post-humain, elles matérialisent un rêve de dépassement des limites humaines. Mais sans l’exaucer. L’entreprise de l’artiste est ambitieuse, motivée. Il réalise minutieusement, à la main et avec des matériaux de récupération, ces prothèses en perfectionnement. Malgré les prouesses, elles restent fragiles et inefficaces, vouées à l’inertie. […]
