Netykavka #1
Netykavka – minimalistická interaktivní instalace přímo inspirovaná dílem avantgardního umělce Anthony McCalla a jeho pracemi vytvařenými ze světelných paprsků. Jedná se o rekonstrukci jedné z jeho “světelných soch” s přidanou schopností reagovat na dotyk.

Granular Synthesis
“From a few expressions on the face of the performer Akemi Takeya to a frenzied exploration of the alter ego, any known context of meaning ends in the dissolved movements, is stalled in denaturalized redundancy, in machine pain. The semantic void is too loud to be amenable to meditative reception. The frontal images, the rhythmic structures generate contradictory emotions and great strain.”

Unter dem Pseudonym Moto Waganari entwirft Lutz Wagner transparente Gitternetz-Skulpturen, die sich als schwerelose Körperhüllen vor dem Auge des Betrachters abzeichnen. Inszeniert als Lichtinstallationen werden die dreidimensionalen Figuren um ein zweidimensionales Schattenbild erweitert und erhalten ein immaterielles Alter Ego. Seine Wesen visualisieren eine surreale Parallelwelt, die voller Rätsel und Überraschungen steckt. Moto Waganaris raffinierte Kunstwerke bestechen durch formale Schönheit und filigrane Leichtigkeit.

Idilios
De esta serie, Idilios, escribe, “Idilios (palabra española lírica de” romances “en Inglés) muestra una serie de recreaciones romántica basada en experiencias amorosas representado por la misma mujer (el alter ego del artista) besando a hombres diferentes en distintos lugares. La serie se construye en un contexto ideal para acentuar la experiencia del amor romántico. Una tienda de joyas, un campo de golf y un hotel de lujo aparecen como los lugares apropiados en los que a la etapa romántica.

sanctum

The work of Zach Blas (United States, 1981) analyzes and explores the dynamics of visual language practices, value systems, and the forces inherent in digital technology in a variety of contexts, with the aim of depicting the limits and foundations of technocratic societies. I have placed it. .. For his analysis and reflection in digital culture, he uses a variety of forms of expression, including film, sculpture, writing and performance. Brass works on black humor and theoretical research, and among his most prominent influences are the mystical tradition, the genre of science fiction, pop culture, and the aesthetics of queer.

LES DISCIPLINES DU RECTANGLE
Inspired by Michel Foucault’s work, Les disciplines du rectangle is a videogame proposition about the nature of rules and norms at the digital age. If society provides models of accomplishment we are supposed to fit inside, then the rectangle is the pure abstraction of this idea. The geometrical shape works as a symbol of the very nature of normativity, blind to individual differences. The rectangle, existing only on the screen, reveals how digital technologies can in some ways become the new location for this normativity and the ambivalent results of their intangible and invisible nature. Besides, the installation offers an occasion to think about the way games can become manipulation tools. The fact that in the end, players act as if they were piloted by the rectangle (an inversion of the traditional relationship between player and avatar) gives an aesthetical highlight to this.

Inspirado en el trabajo de Michel Foucault, Les disciplines du rectangle es una propuesta de videojuego sobre la naturaleza de las reglas y normas en la era digital. Si la sociedad proporciona modelos de realización en los que se supone que encajamos, entonces el rectángulo es la pura abstracción de esta idea. La forma geométrica funciona como símbolo de la naturaleza misma de la normatividad, ciega a las diferencias individuales. El rectángulo, que existe solo en la pantalla, revela cómo las tecnologías digitales pueden convertirse de alguna manera en la nueva ubicación de esta normatividad y los resultados ambivalentes de su naturaleza intangible e invisible. Además, la instalación ofrece la oportunidad de pensar en cómo los juegos pueden convertirse en herramientas de manipulación. El hecho de que, al final, los jugadores actúen como si fueran piloteados por el rectángulo (una inversión de la relación tradicional entre jugador y avatar) le da un toque estético a esto.

PARADISE – A contemporary interpretation of The Garden of Earthly Delights

Lo Studio Smack, meglio conosciuto per il video musicale Witch Doctor di De Staat, ha rilasciato una nuova animazione: un’interpretazione contemporanea di uno dei dipinti più famosi del primo maestro olandese Hieronymus Bosch, The Garden of Earthly Delights. Nel loro ultimo lavoro, il gruppo ha ripulito il paesaggio originale del pannello centrale del dipinto di Bosch e lo ha ricostruito in un’allucinante animazione 4K. Le creature che popolano questo parco giochi al coperto incarnano gli eccessi e i desideri della civiltà occidentale del XXI secolo. Consumismo, egoismo, evasione, richiamo dell’erotismo, vanità e decadenza. Tutti i personaggi sono metafore per la nostra società in cui i solitari sciamano nel loro mondo dei sogni digitale. Sono riflessi simbolici dell’ego e dell’immaginazione delle persone come si vedono, a differenza della versione di Bosch, in cui tutti gli individui sembrano più o meno uguali. Da un Hello Kitty arrapato a un serpente del pene che caccia alla coca Da uno spybot incarnato a polli fritti senza testa. Questi personaggi, una volta figure di sogno dipinte con precisione, sono ora modelli 3D creati digitalmente. A tutti loro è stato dato il proprio ciclo di animazione per vagare nel paesaggio. Inserendoli tutti insieme in questo affresco sintetico, il quadro non è mai lo stesso. Ciò che l’animazione e il trittico di Bosch hanno in comune è che difficilmente riuscirai a sopportare tutto, puoi guardarlo per ore. “Paradise” è stato commissionato dal Museo MOTI nei Paesi Bassi per la mostra New Delights, che fa parte del 500 ° anniversario di Hieronymus Bosch. Una gigantesca installazione video di quest’opera è esposta nel Museo fino al 31 dicembre 2016.

rove (Demoscene)

Farbrausch, also farb-rausch, is a German demo group that has been very well known in the Demoscene since the release of their intro fr-08: .the .product in December 2000. Their demo fr-025: the.popular.demo, which was published at Breakpoint 2003, has gained notoriety far beyond the borders of the scene, both The.Popular.Demo and debris. are two of the most popular demos according to the comparative index Pouët. The works of farbrausch have won numerous prizes in the Demoscene: The.Popular.Demo won the “Public Choice Award” of the Scene.org awards in 2003 Scene.org awards of 2003, category “Public Choice Award”., .Debris 2007 the award for best director. Scene.org awards of the year 2007, category Director.Farbrausch gives all publications a “product code” in the format “fr-0 #”. The numbers are not related to the date of publication, but rather, according to the members of farbrausch, indicate the order in which work on the project began. Productions that are not meant to be taken seriously are also given a “minus” in their name. 2004 the sub-department of farbrausch .theprodukkt released a 96kB small first-person shooter called .kkrieger, as well as the early version of a tool for creating demos called.

This is one part of a three-part installation that alters the spaces of the gallery with elements derived from American romantic landscape painting, especially the pre-photographic interpretation of landscape found in Thomas Cole’s paintings and those of the Hudson River School painters. Nature is frequently presented as a fantastic amalgam of real detail and impossible phenomena, not observed but reinvented for the purpose of allegorical narrative.

Putting The Pieces Back Together Again

The kinetic installation “Putting the Pieces Back Together Again” is a complex system with self-organizing and emergent behaviour, at the same time it is an artistic inquiry and meditation on contemporary scientific methodology. The installation investigates non-hierarchical communication and collective behaviour by implementing such a system physically through many electro-mechanical actors.
The Installation consists of 1250 stepper motors arranged in a two dimensional grid of two by two meters. Each motor is equipped with a pointer made from white acrylic glass. The radii of the pointers are chosen to intersect with the pointers of its neighbours. All motors are excited with the same alternating current that let them move initially in a random direction. Each actor is at the same time sensing its environment. In the event of a collision the pointers reverse their turning direction. This is achieved through a custom motor control circuit. Through the interplay of many entities a complex behaviour emerges on the surface of the installation. By manipulating the signals during runtime the system will form spontaneous pattern on its surface. It seems like they are negotiating it’s position with nearby actors. By this the system is showing behaviour of self-organization. The installation drifts through various activation levels during its run time by this it constantly evolves new formations and constellations (crystallization).

The Pixel Power

A investigação, cujos resultados foram apresentados nesta exposição, centrou-se na procura de novos princípios de organização de grandes estruturas, exemplificada com um edifício alto. Foi realizado por manipulações sistemáticas das correlações entre as esferas pública e privada, respectivamente representadas de forma abstrata pelo pixel fechado e ‘o pixel aberto’. Essas transformações exploraram diferentes hierarquias possíveis, entre os pixels abertos e fechados, bem como as partes e o todo, questionando aspectos como a redução dos espaços públicos ao átrio do céu e ao pedestal, o domínio do núcleo ou a repetição dos pisos . Todos os experimentos foram conduzidos com a premissa de que seus resultados devem permanecer abstratos, binários e mensuráveis. Eles trataram apenas das inter-relações entre aberto, fechado, vazio e cheio. A tarefa não definiu nenhum programa específico, nem objetivou a realização de um projeto elaborado. Os resultados podem ser entendidos como um conjunto de Nolli Maps tridimensionais de cidades inexistentes, representações de realidades urbanas complexas, que articulam relações entre espaços cheios e vazios – neste caso volumes. O uso do tijolo LEGO como ferramenta de modelagem permitiu medir os volumes e estimar sua capacidade de facilitar um projeto arquitetônico potencial. Fornecendo um esboço válido para uma elaboração posterior das relações exploradas em uma proposta de design.

Cluster

CLUSTER, la dernière génération d’œuvre audiovisuelle 3D en temps réel de Kurt Hentschläger, se focalise sur le comportement collectif (psychologie, interactions) et plus particulièrement sur le phénomène de foule. La configuration est simple, voire absurde : des personnages humains en 3D apparaissent, comme un banc de poissons. Dans la chorégraphie en apesanteur de CLUSTER, les êtres humains semblent être des particules anonymes, une masse amorphe sous impulsion, un nuage de matière trouble faite de morceaux de corps et de lumière. Visuellement, l’œuvre alterne entre des formes abstraites et réalistes.Par sa nature générative jamais complètement prévisible, CLUSTER, décrit un méta-organisme à caractère irrévocablement anti-individualiste. Alors que les personnages ont une forme humaine, leur comportement ne l’est pas, ce qui empêche la naturelle identification du public à ses alter-egos présumés. Le dispositif informatique permet de définir la nature et le champ de l’action tandis que l’artiste canalise et orchestre les forces en présence.L’œuvre tire son ambiguïté à la fois de ses éléments répétitifs et rythmiques, ainsi que de ses structures « naturelles » improvisées. La majorité des sons de CLUSTER, est produit par les événements qui animent l’œuvre : mouvements et comportements des masses, changements de lumière. Une grille rythmique lie chaque parties entre elles, ce qui donne une impression de pulsion. Les basses fréquences sous les spectateurs et les hautes fréquences les surplombant, encadrent les sons générés par les événements.
