Double Space
The V&A will once again act as the hub to the festival that also sees exhibitions dotted around London. Highlights include British designers Edward Barber & Jay Osgerby collaborating with car company BMW for ‘Double Space for BMW – Precision & Poetry in Motion’ that will distort the view of the Raphael Gallery space and visitors perceptions through the choreographed movement of two giant reflective kinetic sculptures.
PHILLIP K SMITH III
Piegato Parallelamente
La monumentale installazione di Phillip K. Smith III Bent Parallel avvolge gli spettatori di luce, continuando il dialogo continuo dell’artista con la teoria del colore, l’ottica, la scala e la tecnologia. Apparendo come due pareti di campi di colore che si intersecano, la struttura a cerniera fonde le superfici per generare una percezione di spostamento e fusione. Crea un terzo piano, privo di materiale, a spessore zero, che mescola i colori adiacenti e sembra estendere i confini fisici dello spazio. L’ambiente che ne risulta appare allo stesso tempo infinito e finito.

CHIMERA
Adaptive Urban Ecologies
Adaptive ecologies explores the emergent logics of adaptation and evolution that are constitutive of ecosystems in nature. Chimera’s vision is to define an urban ecosystem which supports housing and cultural programs and has the ability to adapt, transform, mutate, and adjust according to the specific urban and social character of the site and of Manhattan. This urban ecological system is taking as a model an organism in nature, specifically the mangrove plant.

Jacob Tonski
Balance Study Apparatus
Jacob Tonski is a pragmatic optimist whose work explores dynamic balance through kinetic metaphors.
A self-adjusting platform makes everyone the same height, probing ideas of equality and the origins of power. A larger-than-life top spins about the room, wobbling through themes of pleasure, danger, youth and decay. A sofa teeters, standing on one leg, musing on the stability of the social structures we build. These and other human-scale objects, both amusing and threatening, find an uncanny identity between toys and tools. The forces of time and gravity serve in these works as foils for those things we are powerless to direct in our lives, and with which we must instead dance and negotiate.

QUBIT AI
In its 25 years of existence, the International Electronic Language Festival (FILE) is an internationally renowned Brazilian project that since 2000 has explored the intersection between art and technology. With more than two decades of history, the festival stands out for fostering exhibition spaces and debate about artistic innovations driven by disruptive and innovative technologies, inviting the public to get involved with experimental forms of art that challenge the boundaries of conventionality. Currently, two of these technologies stand out in the contemporary scenario: the accelerated development of quantum computing and artificial intelligence corroborated by synthetic data.
Quantum computing, an emerging revolution in the technological field, offers a new range of creative possibilities for contemporary artists. This new era allows the exploration of unprecedented frontiers through a new computational format that consists mainly of quantum superposition and entanglement, a new field of exploration for synthetic computer science, as well as for the arts in general; on the other hand, artificial intelligence, fueled by synthetic data, offers artists a new way of making and understanding art, opening up space for new forms, concepts and artistic expressions.
Entitled QUBIT AI, the exhibition delves into this unexplored territory presenting a selection of works of art resulting from the connection between artistic creation and technology, proposing a theoretical reflection on what the interrelationship between quantum computers and synthetic artificial intelligence will be.
Visitors will be invited to experience immersive installations, experimental videos, digital sculptures and other forms of interactive art, which intertwine reality and imagination. The exhibition encourages reflections on the influence of technology on art and contemporary society, while at the same time providing an environment to compare already established technological arts (analog and digital) with the possible futures of art in the synthetic era, enhanced by quantum computing. The QUBIT AI exhibition at FILE SP 2024 transcends the mere presentation of works of art; it is a journey to the limits of human creativity, driven by the convergence of art, science and technology.

πTon/2
πTon/2 is a sound installation that intervenes in the continuity of the researches of Cod.Act on mechanical and sound organicity. It results from an experience on the deformation of an elastic form and its incidence on the evolution of a musical work. The object is a flexible ring closed on itself. It is set in motion by torsional engines located inside its body. πTon, by twisting and waving on itself, moves in a very natural and unpredictable way.

Semiconductor
magnetic movie
Semiconductor is artist duo Ruth Jarman and Joe Gerhardt. Through moving image works they explore the material nature of our world and how we experience it, questioning our place in the physical universe. Their unique approach has won them many awards and prestigious fellowships such as the Gulbenkian Galapagos, Smithsonian Artists Research and the NASA Space Sciences. Their work is part of several international public collections and has been exhibited globally including Venice Bienniale, The Royal Academy, Hirshhorn Museum, BBC, ICA and the Exploratorium.

Pieta
Поиск сущности и существования продолжается в недавних картинах Ли «Пластиковая рыба». Настоящая живая рыба, ловящая искусственную рыбу для выживания, а затем похищенная в результате собственной попытки выжить, и человек, который держал бы удочку между ними двумя, этот суровый парадокс существования не является ни мечтой Чжуан Цу, ни мечтой Жана Бодрийяра. Simulacres et Simulation. Возможно, это жестокая боль, как вечное наказание, которое должно нести на плечах все живые существа. Сериал «Пьета, жалко» будет создан в двух версиях: «Пьета: ненависть к себе» и «Пьета: самосмерть». В этой серии скульптур используется как форма (скульптуры), так и сама формованная фигура, при этом форма представляет собой Деву Марию, а формованную фигуру – Иисуса. В «Пьете: ненависть к себе» эти две фигуры злобно сражаются, как бойцы К-1, а в «Пьете: самосмерть» образ Девы Марии удерживает мертвых, слепил Иисуса. Этот сериал метафорически разворачивает противоречия человеческого существования и мрачное варварство цивилизации. Подобно внезапному летнему ливню, работы Ли Ёнбэка несут в себе холод, которого невозможно избежать.

Orange Cube
Le projet du Cube Orange est conçu comme un « cube » orthogonal, dans lequel les architectes ont découpé un grand vide qui répond aux besoins de lumière, de circulation d’air et de vues. Ce vide perce le bâtiment horizontalement depuis les rives de la Saône vers le haut jusqu’à la terrasse sur le toit.
