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.

Smart Hans

FILE 2024 | Installations
International Electronic Language Festival
Max Haarich (Project Smart Hans) – Smart Hans – Germany

The Smart Hans project is a synthetic reincarnation of Clever Hans, a horse that became famous in the early 20th century for apparently answering mathematical questions by tapping its hoof. The interactive installation features an animated horse that can guess any number in its mind through posture recognition. At the same time a fun joke and an illustration of why we worry about artificial intelligence.

EGO

FILE 2024 | Installations
International Electronic Language Festival

The mirror stage in psychology explains how the Ego forms through objectification, where one’s visual appearance comes into conflict with emotional experience, a concept called ‘alienation‘ by psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan. The interactive installation EGO reenacts and reverses this process by distorting the mirror image based on the user’s movements, highlighting the tension between the real and the symbolic, the Ego and the It, subject and object.

CAPACITIVE BODY
file festival

The installation “capacitive body” is a modular light system that reacts to the sound of its environment. Each custom-built module consists of an electro-luminescent light wire linked to a piezoelectric sensor and a microcontroller. Through its modular setup it can easily be adapted to various urban spaces. The sensors are used to measure vibrations of architectural solids in a range of low frequencies. These oscillations are triggered by surrounding ambient noise, for example traffic noise. The data sensor controls the light wires, which are tensed to a spatial net structure. According to the values of the measurement, light flashes are generated. With increasing vibrations the time between flashes becomes shorter and shorter. The stability of this nervous system gets to an end where it collapses and restarts again. A dynamic light space is thereby created, which creates a visual feedback of the aural activity around the installation.

The Megastructure Compendium
Science & Futurism
In the future humanity may build enormous structures, feats of mega-engineering that may rival planets or even be of greater scope. This episode catalogs roughly 100 major types of Megastructure, from those that are cities in space to those that rival galaxies.

Pan, Tilt and Zoom
Three motorized CCTV dome cameras are installed on the gallery floor. The built-in auto-tracking function makes the cameras follow any motion in the room. While moving its lens the center of the weight of the device shifts and the whole camera starts to roll on the floor. As a result the software is confronted with even more motion which needs to be tracked. From time to time the cameras bump into each other or start to follow and trigger each other movements.

In het werk Déguster l’augmenté integreert Erika Martins gegevens rechtstreeks in de oppervlakken van voedsel. Drie desserts worden aangevuld met animatie, beleving en geluidsbeleving. Een gecomprimeerde hap eetbare cultuur met de smaak van je eigen passie, zoals muziek het vertellen van verhalen en de klantervaring verandert. Om een ​​andere gepersonaliseerde ervaring te creëren, verandert het idee van hoe voedsel te eten en te consumeren. Met Déguster l’augmenté probeert de kunstenaar onze relatie met voedsel en technologie te heroverwegen om de grenzen van de mogelijkheden in de wereld van morgen te verleggen. Dit werk werd voor het eerst gerealiseerd als een bachelorproject bij ECAL.

Epistēmē
Titled with the Ancient Greek word for knowledge and understanding, the installation is born of the belief that we absorb knowledge through the senses, with the skin acting as an interface between the body and the world around us. ‘To illustrate the skin in states of transformation, I imagined it as a canvas for sensations felt and information absorbed. The digital manipulation in each film melds body and sensation, skin and material, reality and virtuality to express the effects of each product,’

Present Shock
Present Shock confronts the viewer with a barrage of statistical clocks representing real-time information about the world—from life-changing global events to the banal trivia of everyday existence—highlighting how the speed and volume of data in the Information Age present new challenges to our limited cognitive apparatus. Many of the statistics presented occur at timescales and spatial horizons that similarly defy our perception or comprehension. Disturbing the inertia of the here and now, they reveal the fluctuating state of dynamic transformation that characterizes life on earth.

reactable
file festival

The ReacTable is a collaborative electronic music instrument with a tabletop tangible multi-touch interface. Several simultaneous performers share complete control over the instrument by moving and rotating physical objects on a luminous round table surface. By moving and relating these objects, representing components of a classic modular synthesizer, users can create complex and dynamic sonic topologies, with generators, filters and modulators, in a kind of tangible modular synthesizer or graspable flow-controlled programming language.

Lauren
J’essaie de devenir une version humaine d’Amazon Alexa, une intelligence domestique intelligente pour les personnes dans leur propre maison. Le spectacle dure jusqu’à une semaine. Cela commence par l’installation d’une série d’appareils intelligents en réseau conçus sur mesure (y compris des caméras, des microphones, des commutateurs, des serrures de porte, des robinets et d’autres appareils électroniques). Je surveille ensuite la personne à distance 24h/24 et 7j/7 et contrôle tous les aspects de son domicile. Je vise à être meilleur qu’une IA car je peux les comprendre en tant que personne et anticiper leurs besoins. La relation qui s’en dégage s’inscrit dans l’espace ambigu entre homme-machine et homme-humain.

AMECA
“Multiply the power of artificial Intelligence with an artificial body. Ameca is the physical presence that brings your code to life. The most advanced lifelike humanoid you can use to develop and show off your greatest machine learning interactions. This robot is the digital interface to the real world.” Engineered Arts
.
“A U.K. robotics firm called Engineered Arts just debuted the first videos of its new humanoid robot, which is able to make hyper-realistic facial expressions. It’s a pretty stunning achievement in the world of robotics; it just also happens to be absolutely terrifying.
Named Ameca, the robot’s face features eyes, cheeks, a mouth, and forehead that contort and change shape to show off emotions ranging from awe to surprise to happiness. One of the new videos of Ameca shows it waking up and seemingly coming to grips with its own existence for the first time ever.” Neel V.Patel

объем
Объем – один из проектов, который можно было бы назвать прилагательным «поэтический». Эта светящаяся и звуковая скульптура, состоящая из нескольких колонн, оживает, когда участники путешествуют в ней. Чем больше посетителей, тем больше «лес» украшается чарующими красками и звуками, гармонично сочетающими взаимодействие с погружением.

أوركسترا حيوانية عظيمة
دعت Fondation Cartier الفنانين المرئيين المتحدون للتعاون في The Great Animal Orchestra ، وهو معرض يحتفي بعمل الموسيقي وخبير الصوت الحيوي والعالم بيرني كراوس. قام Krause بتسجيل الحيوانات لمدة 45 عامًا وجمع مجموعة من أكثر من 5000 ساعة من تسجيل الأصوات لأكثر من 15000 نوع فردي في بيئاتهم الطبيعية من جميع أنحاء العالم. ربط النهج الإبداعي لـ UVA معًا عناصر محتوى المعرض المختلفة في جميع أنحاء مساحة الطابق السفلي – مشاهد صوتية ، وبرامج طيفية وأعمال فنية – في تجربة متماسكة وغامرة تُضفي أبعادًا ثلاثية على تسجيلات Krause وتقترح مشاهد من العالم الطبيعي. تشكل الرسوم الطيفية منظرًا طبيعيًا تجريديًا ، وهو تفسير للمواقع العالمية المختلفة وأوقات اليوم التي قام فيها Krause بعمل التسجيلات الأصلية بطريقة تغلف الجمهور وتشجعهم على البقاء في الفضاء.

Entwurf
Blueprint umfasst die Beziehung und Parallelen zwischen Kunst und Wissenschaft und schafft Kompositionen durch die mathematischen Prinzipien der Logik, die das Leben stützen. UVA untersucht Analogien zwischen DNA und Computercode und hat die Blueprint-Serie entwickelt. Arbeiten, die Genetik und Code als Blaupausen künstlicher und natürlicher Systeme verbinden. Da sich die Arbeit im Laufe der Zeit langsam ändert, schwanken die Muster zwischen verschiedenen Komplexitätsgraden. Blueprint verwendet die Grundkonzepte der Evolution, um ein sich ständig veränderndes Bild zu erstellen. Während Zellen ihre Gene buchstäblich auf ihre angrenzenden anderen übertragen, fließt Farbe wie Farbe über die Leinwand. Blueprint erstellt jede Minute eine einzigartige farbenfrohe Komposition und präsentiert das unbegrenzte Ergebnis, das sich aus einem einzigen Algorithmus ergibt. ein einziges Regelwerk.

Circuit Ouvert
File Festival
Circuit Ouvert est une installation sonore de Christoph Haag, Martin Rumori, Franziska Windisch et Ludwig Zeller. L’équipe a créé le projet pendant ses études à l’Académie des arts médiatiques de Cologne. Le circuit ouvert consiste en un labyrinthe de pistes de cuivre ouvertes qui couvrent le sol et les murs de l’espace d’installation. Ces pistes transportent les signaux électriques d’un référentiel sonore multicanal qui deviennent audibles lorsque des haut-parleurs sans fil sont placés sur le cuivre. Le son émis par les haut-parleurs change en fonction de la façon dont ils sont déplacés.

Mudança de rosto – As variedades da expressão facial humana
“The Varieties” é uma exploração algorítmica da expressão facial humana. Seis músculos de cada lado da face são acionados sucessivamente por meio da estimulação elétrica, resultando em 4.096 expressões faciais diferentes.

Supermassive Black Holes
Supermassive Black Holes is an acoustic ceiling installation for the main lobby of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce. The design is part of a series of projects in which we work with small primitives that are aggregated into a larger whole. In this case, there are over 10,000 felt cones stitched together into three gigantic, 20’ tall, hanging felt vortexes that that absorb sound through its materiality and geometry. The thousands of cone shape parts trap and disperse sound waves while softening the overall acoustic quality of the space.

Lluvia cinética
Kinetic Rain es una obra de arte diseñada para la Terminal 1 del aeropuerto Changi de Singapur. La escultura cinética agrega un elemento contemplativo al animado espacio de tránsito de la sala de salidas. Kinetic Rain consta de dos partes instaladas sobre las dos escaleras mecánicas centrales de la terminal. Cada elemento simétrico está compuesto por 608 gotas de aluminio recubiertas de cobre. Las gotas están conectadas por cables de acero a motores controlados por computadora que las suben y bajan con precisión.

луковая щепотка
Инсталляция Onion Pinch, разработанная Катериной Тиаццольди и Эдуардо Бенамором Дуарте, исследует способность пробки определять пространственную среду, основанную на идее гибкости и колебаний.
В фильме задействован тип отношений, проистекающий из союза между телами танцоров и инсталляционным материалом; между движением танцоров и пространственностью, которая расцветает благодаря гибкости пробки.

Водный
Вдохновленный успокаивающими свойствами синего цвета, A Water полностью погружает вас в наполненную водой окружающую среду. Независимо от того, смотрите ли вы на бескрайний океан или слушаете бурлящий поток ручья, вода дает ощущение покоя и расслабления. Исследуя текстуры жидкости во всех ее состояниях, эта иммерсивная инсталляция призвана успокоить душу и вдохновить на действия по сохранению этого природного ресурса.

Топологии # 1
Новая инсталляция, которая продолжает исследование сенсорных ощущений UVA через призму технологий. Первая из новой серии работ, Topology # 1, состоит из пяти кинетических скульптур, которые проецируют плоскости света, простирающиеся через комнату, создавая изменяющуюся геометрию, которая непрерывно разделяет и реконфигурирует пространство. Посетители проходят через 25-метровую комнату через внушительные, но нематериальные стены, создавая своего рода нематериальное царство, которое меняет восприятие зрителей и их отношения с пространством, которое они занимают.

SECHS
SECHS объединяет наследие Баха с современными техниками композиции и утонченной кинетической световой скульптурой, подчеркивая и переосмысливая его новаторство в симметрии, повторении и композиции. Вслед за одобренной критиками Wendy Carlos ‘Switched on Bach’ – первой электронной интерпретацией творчества Баха – и более поздних интерпретаторов, таких как Макс Рихтер для Вивальди, Acket & Vos представляют этот совершенно новый рендеринг одного из самых влиятельных в мире композиторы. Вместе с кинетической световой скульптурой Кристофера Баудера и новаторами пространственного звука 4DSOUND композиция превращается в ощущение пространственного погружения.

Nature Changes Along with Us
In questo lavoro, azioni apparentemente senza scopo vengono ripetute più e più volte. Una situazione surreale, assurda, che ha a che fare con l’individuo contemporaneo che cerca di controllare la natura in un modo che assomiglia sempre più alla monotonia delle macchine operatrici che abbiamo creato noi stessi. La credenza nella capacità di esercitare un controllo sull’ambiente per il benessere degli individui sembra ancora onnipresente. Rimane incerto se tale percezione di controllo vada anche oltre un semplice desiderio e sia, infatti, una necessità psicologica e biologica?! Dobbiamo riconoscere che nel nostro riuscito controllo sulla natura, ci siamo alienati da essa?

Angelas Flood
Angela’s Flood (El diluvio de Angela), inspirado en el panel central de El Jardín de las Delicias, es un paraíso construido para personajes femeninos, un espacio alegre que cuestiona los reiterados comportamientos violentos y sexistas a menudo asociados al mundo de los videojuegos. El título procede de la protagonista, Angela Belti, una musculosa luchadora de la serie Power Instinct (Atlus, para Arcade, 1993) cuya apariencia desafió el estereotipo de los videojuegos retro llenos de mujeres esbeltas y semi desnudas. Una variedad de sprites, entre ellos personajes marítimos, pequeños elfos e insectos, conviven en esta utopía elaborada en 2000 líneas de HTML.

SECHS
SECHS brings Bach’s heritage together with modern composition techniques and a refined kinetic light sculpture – emphasizing and re-interpreting his innovation in symmetry, repetition and composition. Following the likes of Wendy Carlos’ critically acclaimed ‘Switched on Bach’ — the first electronic interpretation of Bach’s work — and later re-interpreters such as Max Richter for Vivaldi, Acket & Vos present this completely new rendering of one of the world’s most influential composers. Together with the kinetic light sculpture by Christopher Bauder and spatial sound innovators 4DSOUND the composition is translated to a spatial immersive experience.

ECHO CHAMBER
Performance audiovisuelle en plusieurs tableaux, Echo Chamber s’inspire des technologies qui permettent de sonder l’intérieur du corps, telles que les ultrasons et l’acupuncture, générant une composition sonore dans laquelle l’idée de résonance prédomine. En créant une interface modulaire à trois panneaux permettant de multiples manipulations, Messier a défini les limites des possibilités d’exécution d’une chorégraphie son et lumière. Saisissez de longues aiguilles comme s’il s’agissait de notes d’un instrument, perçant une plaque sensible à l’audio qui déclenche des séquences sonores.

THE INSTALLATION SPANS A CORRIDOR OF 7-METRES WIDTH. ON THE LEFT WALL ONE HUNDRED PROSTHETIC HANDS ARRANGED IN A MATRIX REVOLVE AROUND THEIR OWN VERTICAL AXIS, THE MOVEMENTS BEING CONTROLLED BY MOTORS. THE MIRRORS THEY HOLD REFLECT THE BEAM OF A STRONG LIGHT ACROSS THE SPACE AND ONTO THE OPPOSITE WALL.

流动性
该安装跨越了7米宽的走廊。在左墙上，排列成矩阵的一百个假肢手绕其自身的垂直轴旋转，其运动由电动机控制。他们持有的镜子将强光光束反射穿过整个空间并射向对面的墙壁。最初看起来像是一个异步的，混乱的运动模式，很快就显示出一种复杂的计算编排：首先，一百个光点围绕一个中心点移动，类似于行星的天体动力学或昆虫群的飞行模式。并创造出三维空间的印象。然后突然之间，这种有机振动会聚成一个表示运动和动作的汉字。

Music Automats
“Music Automats é uma instalação de som robótica autônoma. A peça é composta por diversos instrumentos robóticos, construídos a partir de instrumentos acústicos, objetos do cotidiano, motores, componentes eletrônicos, peças de madeira e metal. LEDs nos instrumentos visualizam o som. O resultado é um mundo de som futurista totalmente automatizado que também é visualmente único devido aos instrumentos e robôs construídos por nós mesmos. A obra explora a coevolução do homem e da máquina, um futuro em que já nos encontramos.” Martin Backes

SANCTUAIRE
Sanctuaire it’s all about my relationship with Mexico City. A space filled with its own pure and special energy. To me is a never ending source of inspiration. This city is benefited of the powerful vibe, result of many factors provoked by its habitants. From far away, this city is characterized by a chaotic and indescribable movement. To be able to understand this, one must come close to realize that this apparent chaos is the manifestation of millions of individual actions from its habitants. Sanctuaire it’s going to be the visual manifestation of a mystical energy that transcends to the viewer. This piece gathers people in a cozy environment from which a light will be generated while levitating above the audience.

ECHO CHAMBER
Performance audiovisiva in più tableau, Echo Chamber si ispira a tecnologie che ci permettono di sondare all’interno del corpo, come gli ultrasuoni e l’agopuntura, generando una composizione sonora in cui predomina l’idea di risonanza. Nel creare un’interfaccia modulare di tre pannelli che consente molteplici manipolazioni, Messier ha determinato i confini delle possibilità per l’esecuzione di una coreografia di suoni e luci. Impugna lunghi aghi come se fossero note di uno strumento, perforando una piastra audio-reattiva che innesca sequenze sonore.

Music Automats
‘Music Automats’ est une installation sonore robotique autonome. La pièce est composée de plusieurs instruments robotiques, construits à partir d’instruments acoustiques, d’objets du quotidien, de moteurs, de composants électroniques, de pièces en bois et en métal. Des LED sur les instruments visualisent le son. Le résultat est un monde sonore futuriste entièrement automatisé qui est également visuellement unique en raison des instruments et des robots auto-construits. L’œuvre explore la co-évolution de l’homme et de la machine, un avenir dans lequel nous nous trouvons déjà.

Celestial
Drawing on Pantone Color of the Year 2020 Classic Blue’s inspirational qualities, “Celestial” takes visitors on a journey beyond the skies. This technology-powered, multi-sensory installation transcends space and time— pushing the limits of our imagination and opening up a new realm of possibilities. Submerge yourself in the sights, sounds and sensations of Classic Blue.

Tolles Tierorchester
Die Fondation Cartier lud United Visual Artists ein, an der Ausstellung The Great Animal Orchestra mitzuarbeiten, in der die Arbeit des Musikers, Bioakustikers und Wissenschaftlers Bernie Krause gefeiert wird. Krause zeichnet seit 45 Jahren Tiere auf und hat eine Sammlung von mehr als 5.000 Stunden Klängen von über 15.000 einzelnen Arten in ihren natürlichen Lebensräumen aus aller Welt zusammengetragen. Der kreative Ansatz von UVA verband die verschiedenen Elemente des Ausstellungsinhalts im gesamten Kellerraum – Klanglandschaften, Spektrogramme und Kunstwerke – zu einer zusammenhängenden, eindringlichen Erfahrung, die Krauses Aufnahmen dreidimensionalisiert und Szenen aus der Natur vorschlägt. Die Spektrogramme bilden eine abstrakte Landschaft, eine Interpretation der verschiedenen globalen Orte und Tageszeiten, zu denen Krause die Originalaufnahmen auf eine Weise gemacht hat, die das Publikum einhüllt und es ermutigt, im Raum zu verweilen.

Great Animal Orchestra
The Fondation Cartier invited United Visual Artists to collaborate on The Great Animal Orchestra, exhibition that celebrates the work of musician, bio-acoustician and scientist Bernie Krause. Krause has been recording animals for 45 years and has amassed a collection of more than 5,000 hours of sounds  recording of over 15,000 individual species in their natural habitats from all over the world. UVA’s creative approach linked together the various exhibition content elements throughout the basement space — soundscapes, spectrograms and art works — into a cohesive, immersive experience that three-dimensionalises Krause’s recordings and suggests scenes from the natural world. The spectrograms form an abstract landscape, an interpretation of the various global locations and times of day that Krause made the original recordings in a way that envelops the audience and encourages them to linger in the space.

DAI – the Dancing Artificial Intelligence
DAI is an Artificial Intelligence artist. What this means is that it* thinks; it doesn’t follow a script or act randomly. In its first physical form, DAI is a performer and is inviting you to view its movement creation process. During the process DAI has been exploring its body and its environment, searching for ways to overcome some of the limitations that the physical world has imposed upon its virtual aspirations. This project is a reaction to the rapidly growing importance of artificial intelligence (AI) in our lives. Simple versions of AI are already everywhere, and today we are at a turning point where the first machines capable of learning through experience, like us, are making their appearance. This raises all kinds of ethical and moral issues and we want to be involved in this debate in our own way.

Obstruction
OBSTRUCTION – это проект в области высоких технологий и перформанса, созданный художником-перформансом По Тингом Ли (TW) и модельером Маартье Дейкстра (Нидерланды). Платье, созданное для танцовщицы, ставит под сомнение, всегда ли технология является положительной вещью. как черно-белая проекция. Когда платье касается темных частей выступа, из платья будут выходить палки, которые мешают танцору двигаться. Когда он попадет на свет, палки войдут внутрь, и вы снова сможете двигаться.

銀
過去数十年の間に、私たちが日常的に取り巻くテクノロジーほど根本的に変わったものはありません。現代のコミュニケーション手段は、世界をポケットサイズのグローバルビレッジに縮小させます。医療技術は、その自然の限界を超えた人生を約束します。ロボット工学、サイバネティックス、および人工知能の分野での開発により、人工生命の不穏な考えと同じくらい魅力的なものが私たちの手の届くところにあります。ナニン・リニングの新作SILVERは、人間と技術の親密な、そしてますます押し付けがましい関係に取り組み、その美学の美しさを示していますが、進歩と自己改善がますます高まるという約束にも疑問を投げかけています。

Distrito de Vestuário
Bart Hess criou a instalação para explorar maneiras pelas quais os humanos podem aumentar e estender as formas de seus corpos, criando uma espécie de prótese que é única a cada vez. Para criar a roupa, os indivíduos são amarrados a uma armadura robótica e depois baixados para uma piscina de água e cera. À medida que a cera se move na água, ela começa a endurecer, ligando-se ao corpo. A pessoa é então retirada da água, envolta em um casulo de cera que pode ser cortada ou quebrada.

Aqueous
Inspired by the color blue’s calming qualities, Aqueous is a deep dive into our water-filled surroundings. Whether looking out at the vast horizon of the ocean or listening to the bubbling flow of a stream, water instills a sense of peace and relaxation. Through exploring the textures of liquid in all its states, this immersive installation seeks to soothe the spirit and inspire action to preserve this natural resource.

La luce, come la interpretiamo abitualmente, è un elemento senza massa e gravità. Per “il peso della luce” un motore fisico simula le forze cinetiche di un oggetto in movimento. Questa massa è proiettata su una struttura a forma di onda nello spazio virtuale. L’oggetto in movimento è rappresentato come una particella di luce nello spazio fisico. La gravità, la massa, la densità e l’attrito influenzano la velocità e l’accelerazione di queste particelle di luce. Poiché il movimento delle particelle si basa su una simulazione, non deve aderire alle realtà fisiche che conosciamo dalla vita di tutti i giorni. Pertanto l’installazione va oltre il comportamento previsto. La materia della luce attraversa così una reinterpretazione della nostra realtà conosciuta.

RÖMERVILLA FELDKIRCH

“Gli scavi presso la villa romana di Brederis offrono importanti spunti sulla storia dell’insediamento romano nell’area di Feldkirch. Una scultura walk-in è stata collocata tra i resti delle fondamenta di due diversi tipi di case. La torre a forma di disco e il muro che crea lo spazio frammenti lungo un altopiano di forma trapezoidale mettono in scena la posizione di fronte alla raccolta di reperti. L’uso dell’acciaio corten permea il sito con un’aura storica e sottolinea l’effetto scolpito della forma libera che contribuisce a rendere il sito di scavo un punto di riferimento.” Divisare

State Gallery

Like a dancing cube shimmering in titanium, the new State Gallery of Lower Austria is placed between the picturesque inner cities of Krems and Stein, and links these with the surrounding natural and river landscape. The spherical curvature and the strongly outward-projecting external walls presented a challenge: titanium shingles and glass panes were individually produced, having been calculated in 3D. Inside, light-flooded areas alternate with daylight-free levels that can be used as required. The project is a strong illustration of the capabilities of the Vorarlberg architectural practice of Marte.Marte.

Chronos XXI
Chronos the god of time, permanently destroys and recreates. He who symbolises evanescence and return, was the thematic point of departure for the creation of the kinetic media installation Chronos XXI. The piece is a ‘finger exercise on antiquity’ by our Creative Director Joachim Sauter and was created during his residency at Villa Massimo in Rome. A pendulum continuously swings in front of a monitor. This motion controls the slow synthesis and destruction of depictions of Chronos on the monitor. Chronos appears in various interpretations by painters of the late Renaissance, Baroque and Classicism – as a man who disrobes Veritas, as a performer of volatile music, or docking Cupid’s wings, or as children and crop eating, a scythe and an hour glass carrying, beardy and winged old man.

Immaterials: Satellite Lamps
“Satellite Lamps shows that GPS is not a seamless blanket of efficient positioning technology; it is a negotiation between radio waves, earth-orbit geometry and the urban environment. GPS is a truly impressive technology, but it also has inherent seams and edges.”
