Silk Pavilion II
Bloom is een interactieve installatie die reageert op de beweging en gebaren van het publiek. Met behulp van interactiviteit met laseraanraking genereert het publiek digitale bloemen in bloei die een geluidscompositie creëren die verandert naargelang de actie van de gebruiker. Gebouwd volgens een parametrische benadering van geluids- en visuele architectuur, wordt de installatie gepresenteerd als een systeem met een hoog proces van willekeurige creatie. In die zin is elke interactie uniek en onnavolgbaar. Het publiek communiceert rechtstreeks met de digitale wereld door middel van de beweging van hun handen, waardoor abstracte lichten en beelden ontstaan. Dit onderzoekt de praktijk van menselijke beweging om de expressie en communicatie van beweging te vergemakkelijken en om nieuwe paradigma’s te ontwerpen en te ontwikkelen voor interactie met computers door middel van beweging.

La Cybernétique, le vivant et la ville
Le travail théorique et plastique de Donatien Aubert vise à problématiser l’héritage philosophique, épistémologique et politique des paradigmes cybernéticiens, et leur résilience dans des mouvements comme l’écologie et le transhumanisme.

MEDIATED MATTER – Silk Pavilion II
Bloom è un’installazione interattiva che reagisce al movimento e ai gesti del pubblico. Utilizzando un’interattività laser touch, il pubblico genera fiori digitali in fiore che creano una composizione sonora che cambia in base all’azione dell’utente. Costruita secondo un approccio parametrico di architettura sonora e visiva, l’installazione si presenta come un sistema con un elevato processo di creazione casuale. In questo senso, ogni interazione è unica e inimitabile. Il pubblico comunica direttamente al mondo digitale usando il movimento delle mani creando luci e immagini astratte. Questo esplora la pratica del movimento umano per facilitare l’espressione e la comunicazione del movimento e per progettare e sviluppare nuovi paradigmi per l’interazione con i computer attraverso il movimento.

Synthetic Seduction

Foreigner

Stine Deja and Marie Munk

The title of the exhibition was inspired by Sherry Turkle’s theory of how technology seduces us, making emotions “easy” by offering human relationships without the complexity of being together ‘face to face’. But if machines can become attentive and emotional, what is left to distinguish us as human beings? We are facing a paradigm shift in how we understand ourselves physiologically, as data and algorithms, and are being forced to question the role of our biological body. As the relationship between artificial and human intelligence becomes increasingly intermingled in our everyday lives, Synthetic Seduction provides immersive and timely insight into the limits of human empathy and intimacy. We are glad at SixtyEight Art Institute to host such a space for thought. We hope it will start conversations and maybe even encourage some intimacy among our visiting audiences in the coming weeks.

Phantom Geometry
“We are developing a system of moving streaming information through space, in the form of light, to generate material form. This system is a full-scale, generative fabrication process that is innately non-linear, is interruptible and corruptible at any time, and does not rely on periodic flattening to 2D. Light is the medium for data in our system. There resident data can be drawn through physical space, at full scale, to generate a photographic artifact, or to instantiate material form through the selective polymerization of proximal photo-responsive resin. This thesis, then, begins to investigate a design paradigm centered on the material reification of light. That paradigm questions the supremacy of the digital model, and the static flattening and stacking logics inherent to typical fabrication workflows. It is part of a conversation about representation, about the role of the designer, and about the way we make.”

Criativo, surreal, por vezes pretensioso e sempre bizarro, estas são algumas das mais relativas características que percebi no trabalho fotografista do francês Akatre. De tendências tão diretas quanto bem humoradas, a técnica de captação de imagens e situações empregada por Akatre misturam-se harmoniosamente entre a simplicidade e a criatividade, estas inerentes à imaginação do fotógrafo, artista plástico e web designer. Com um web site tão inovador em apresentação quanto a proposta do foto ensaio aqui em divulgação, Akatre firmou-se na comunidade artística européia como um ícone em vanguardismo. Sempre presente nos mais influentes meios de divulgação de artes, o francês se faz constante com propostas contemporâneas acondicionadas ao propor à quebra de rotinas e paradigmas de senso comum.

Pathfinder
Created by Princemio in collaboration with onformative and presented at Choreographic Coding laboratory in Frankfurt 2013, the Pathfinder project was created with aim to contribute to the creative processes of choreographic development. To achieve this algorithms have been developed to stimulate the dancers and to create visual inspirations. By doing this, the software becomes its own creative building block, questioning the classical master slave paradigm.

visceral paradigm
In my work I attempt to trigger and explore both intellectual and emotional reactions to the ways in which objects interact with their surrounding environment. I try to set up a situation where nothing is as it seems, and our notions of reality are exposed as mere assumptions, based on perceptions and experiences that may or may not bear any actual relationship to the way the world works.

World center
Blending computer-assisted design and experimentation with physics, the collective implements a biological paradigm to develop their morpho-ecological design approach to the architectural project. They are able to do this thanks to the computer-generated design methods they have developed for integrating ecological, topological and structural data.more…

Ses œuvres intègrent un processus de production gestuelle et performative aléatoire et dynamique, souvent réalisé en présence du public et utilisant le corps de l’artiste dans son ensemble. L’auteur se personnifie dans l’œuvre et vice versa, dans un processus dynamique et intrigant qui subvertit le concept de création de l’œuvre d’art. la nature et les objets du quotidien font partie du processus de création de l’artiste, qui utilise des éléments pour la production de ses œuvres, tels que des plantes, du pain, des ustensiles, des objets décoratifs ou utilitaires qui, alternativement, sont des outils ou se transforment en œuvres d’art . L’hypothèse est de briser le paradigme technique et conceptuel de la production artistique.

Silent Percussion
File Festival
The “Silent Percussion Project” (SPP) consists in building a set of computer musical instruments that use human gestures to control sounds, composing and performing with them in an attempt to re-incorporate the body in music performance practice. The “SPP” is a response to the question: what kinds of musical instruments does live computer music performance need? To answer this question it researches the aesthetic qualities and language of non-live electronic music, action-perception systems and new media theory to experiment new ways of bridging between gesture and sound. In that sense, the “SPP” looks to address the problem of sound control by introducing new sensing techniques that take advantage of our sensorimotor capabilities. The Silent Drum and MANO instruments analyze shapes made by hands and transform them into multiple streams of continuous data. These streams, or variables, are directly applied to sound control, avoiding the key paradigm. Continuous data is analyzed to extract discrete features of the signals. The variables resulting from analysis are interdependent, that is, changes in one result in changes in the others, creating complex systems that the performer learns by experimentation.
