Puppet – France

Puppet is an innovative audiovisual installation that merges gaming mechanics with live music composition. At the crossroads of videogame and digital instrument, this interactive piece invites visitors to manipulate a puppet-like character that functions as a sound synthesizer. Each movement or gesture of the puppet triggers a corresponding musical element—melody, rhythm, or effect—allowing the participant to compose a track in real time.

scattered crowd

Thousand of white balloons, suspended in a billowing wash of sound; an air-borne landscape of relationship, of distance, of humans and emptiness, of coalescence and decision. In the gorgeous, breathless space that is choreographer William Forsythes «Scattered Crowd», the viewer inhabits and alters, through their stillness or speed, their sense of proportion and time, the configurations that make up this constantly shifting, ecstatic world.

Ruckazoid
Dont let me go

Ruckazoid – Don’t Let Me Go (She ain’t mad at it) is an experimental, surreal journey into alternative graphical realities, planets and species. It depicts the need of lifeforms to make contact, but subliminally points out the fears of providing oneself as a target at the same time. We as humans search for other species in deep space, but what happens if we actually find them?

Sound Installation

Event, Stream, Object

In his installations, live performances and publications, Florian Hecker deals with specific compositional developments of post-war modernity, electroacoustic music as well as other, non-musical disciplines. He dramatizes space, time and self-perception in his sonic works by isolating specific auditory events in their singularity, thus stretching the boundaries of their materialization.
Their objectual autonomy is exposed while simultaneously evoking sensations, memories and associations in an immersive intensity. Some of his works incorporate psycho-acoustic phenomena, disorienting listeners’ spatial perceptions and expanding their conception about sound. Hecker’s most recent recording, Speculative Solution ( Editions Mego, 2011), brings together Hecker’s sonic practice and psychoacoustic experimentation with philosopher Quentin Meillassoux’s concept of ‘hyperchaos’ – the absolute contingency of the laws of nature.
During his residency at MIT, Florian Hecker will research a new sound piece that takes the concept of the “auditory chimera” as point of departure. Originally developed at MIT by Bertrand Delgutte, senior research scientist at the MIT Research Laboratory of Electronics, the concept of the auditory chimera inspires an exploration of the relationship between pitch perception and sound localization. Hecker will create a text and sound piece that incorporates the recordings of material read by students. Using an anechoic chamber he will work with students to explore the experiential nature of psycho-acoustic practice.

The Future Of Television

Since the early noughties Bailey has ploughed a compelling, and often hilarious, road through the various developments of digital communications technologies. Ostensibly a satire on, and parody of, the practices and language of “new media,” the jocose surface of Bailey’s work hides an incisive exploration of the critical intersection between video, computing, performance, and the body.

TMRRW

TMRRW(dot)net combines predictable and unpredictable change in order to form a cubic time capsule of tomorrow’s relics. Predictions arise by mapping the course of natural disasters and desiccated resources, and non-predictions are postulated from science fiction and myth. The resulting guided tour of The Last Gallery presents attributes of artifactual design and nostalgia: we will remember impact events and Y2K12 hysteria; thirst, wetness, and all things glossy; sitting, leisurely commodities, and decoration. This piece intends to simulate future documentation of the past, while simultaneously proposing precursory relics.

Ingress uses the mobile device GPS to locate and interact with “portals” that are in proximity to the player’s real-world location. The portals are physical points of interest where “human creativity and ingenuity is expressed,” often manifesting as public art such as statues and monuments, unique architecture, outdoor murals, historic buildings, local community hubs and other displays of human achievement. The game uses the portals as elements of a science fiction backstory along with a continuous open narrative provided through various forms of media.

BODY REMIX GOLDBERG VARIATIONS
Durante los primeros pasos de esta creación, los bailarines y yo trabajamos sobre las Goldberg Variations de Bach, tal y como las interpretó Glenn Gould en 1981, así como la voz del pianista, con sus cadencias orales durante una entrevista de radio dedicada a esta particular interpretación.
Emprendí el trabajo con una mezcla de los cuerpos de los bailarines, a través del uso de varios elementos de apoyo: muletas, picos, arneses, etc. Una barra de ballet fue trasformada en un material musical. Pedí también al compositor Louis Dufort que usara un “apoyo”, concretamente una interpretación de Gould y su voz, y a proponer variaciones sobre las Variations. Diez de las treinta variaciones, así como las dos Arias, fueron remezcladas o incluso recompuestas (1, 2, 4, 11, 15, 16, 21, 23, 25 and 29). Otras tres variaciones (5, 6 y 8) se ofrecerán en su versión original.

チェ·ウラム

Inspired by the grandeur of the physical realm, from celestial bodies to earthly organisms, U-ram Choe’s complex kinetic sculptures combine delicate, otherworldly beauty with machines, motors, and steel. Choe’s shiny biomorphic forms flutter, glow, and breathe inside their metallic bodies, appearing both familiar and entirely alien.

FRIEZE

FRIEZE consists of two projections of enlarged figures, standing up straight. They are cramped inside a small, tall box that slowly revolves on a central horizontal axis. They wait. They try to keep straight, but their bodies insist on contorting in the confined space. Nevertheless they persevere in maintaining their dignity. Keeping up appearances. Their bodies sink and turn, pressing against the constricting walls, until the man and the woman are completely upside down. They then slowly pull themselves upright again, they straighten their clothes and look ahead as if nothing happened.

In FRIEZE Kris Verdonck continues to work on the theme of earlier projections, e.g. STILLS, DUMP and D’OR. The figures are typical ‘Verdonck-personages’: business types, neatly dressed, civilised and modern, but all stuck in a system, in an untenable situation. But they don’t ask questions. They maintain their faith. Persistance is the message.

The personages in FRIEZE could be considered to be a modern version of the caryatids: the humanly figures that often replaced pillars in classical architecture. They were functional as well as ornamental and emanated power. The caryatids in FRIEZE, on the other hand, display their vulnerability in the extreme.

Clavilux
Clavilux 2000 is a subtle music visualization installation that represents the playing of sounds by way of a simultaneous animation that can be interpreted. For every note played on the keyboard, a stripe appears of which the dimensions, position and color correspond to the way the particular key was stroke.

END

In the performance END artist Kris Verdonck shows the possible final stages of a human society in ten scenes. Melting glaciers, burning forests, cities under water, ubiquitous screens and cameras spying on us, the uncontrolled availability of weapons of mass destruction, and so on. END starts out from the images the media project onto our retinas all day and every day. The ten scenes are linked by a monologue spoken by a single character: the witness who sees it all happen. While this survivor – like the messenger in Greek tragedy – talks unceasingly, a series of ‘Figures’ appears on stage: machines and people or a combination of the two. They go from one side of the stage to the other, all in the same direction. Are they fleeing something? If so, what?

I / II / III / IIII

In I/II/III/IIII, choreographer and visual artist Kris Verdonck transforms the stage into a life-size dollhouse. Four female ICK-dancers – not unlike marionettes – are floating in mid-air, suspended from a huge machine. A solo, a duet, a trio and a quartet follow one another in this choreography of identical movements. A game of surrendering to the machine and at the same time, searching for control. The images evoked by I/II/III/IIII are confusing and ambiguous: the dancers almost look like graceful, fragile swans … but they also remind us of animal carcasses being dragged along, floating angels, falling human bodies and everything in between.

Closer
Joy Division, released in 1980, was considered one of the most important albums of the post-punk movement. As the songs were recorded under a specially constructed stucco vault, an end to capture and resonance from a chapel. There is no indication of the sides, either on the seal or in the insert. Thus, with the previous album, Unknown Pleasures, the relationship of the songs is found only without insert. In the CD edition, consider side A that starts with the Atrocity Exhibition, and side B starts with Heart And Soul.

custom built orchestra

I always been fascinated by the raw musical power that an orchestra can express, so, after creating a series of videos where I’m performing a multi-track piece with an instrument I designed, I decided to take the concept a step farther and create my own orchestra made of unusually unique instruments. The project started by handcrafting a diverse selection of instruments, then I wrote a composition where I could fit them all in and finally performed each part.

f5x5x5
f5x5x5 is a kinetic light sculpture conceived of and realized by the belgian design studio lab[au]. the project was most recently installed in the basilique de saint denis in paris for nuit blanche 2009. the design consists of fixed and kinetic aluminum frames that can move randomly or be programmed for use as a low resolution display. the piece is designed as a framework, taking inspiration from software development
frameworks. in the case of the project, the framework is a five by five module which is repeated five times to create the final form. one side of the work is white, while the other is black. the 125 pixel screen works on binary language and can transform captured data from the physical environment into kinetic actions.

night lights

In this installation YesYesNo teamed up with The Church, Inside Out Productions and Electric Canvas to turn the Auckland Ferry Building into an interactive playground. Our job was to create an installation that would go beyond merely projection on buildings and allow viewers to become performers, by taking their body movements and amplifying them 5 stories tall.

We used 3 different types of interaction – body interaction on the two stages, hand interaction above a light table, and phone interaction with the tracking of waving phones. There were 6 scenes, cycled every hour for the public.

Representa Corisco

O Projeto Representa Corisco está em desenvolvimento desde 2003 e neste período foram realizadas várias intervenções urbanas e vídeo instalações em cidades como Belo Horizonte, São Paulo e Barcelona. Com o objetivo de propor reflexões críticas sobre as relações políticas e sociais nas grandes metrópoles, o projeto trabalha com conceitos da cultura popular e ícones visuais relacionados com o universo do cangaço e um dos seus personagens: Corisco.

O cangaço foi um movimento armado que durou mais de dois séculos (XIX e XX) no nordeste brasileiro e pode ser associado a conceitos como de resistência e crítica a privilégios hereditários presentes na história brasileira. Evocar Corisco e o cangaço é um intento de desenvolver uma ação política dentro do contexto contemporâneo, uma maneira de reinterpretar um passado recente, um universo de poesia e sobrevivência em um cenário desfavorável como o da Caatinga.

Golden Mean

– de profundis – soft virtuosity – state of grace – multiple intelligences conversing – the golden mean – time regained.

The beings performing on stage will appear to have come from a strange yet friendly future; in an absolutely scintillating acuteness of sensory perception, in which the underlying processes are laid bare, they allow us to listen to our senses in a serene and unprecedented way.

The Being is a field of exploration, a crucible of possibilities; here it is on the verge of a thought-provoking and amourous mutation

Interactive MultiTouch Sphere
A brand new collaboration between seeper and PufferFish, watch this space for the worlds first interactive spherical display system.

Parmenides I

The work continues to build on a visual language rooted in ideal geometries, and a prismatic interplay of light and pattern. The cascading faceted surface carries an implied motion, rolling away from the spectator with meditative ease. This energy potential is given breath by luminescent washes which crash, ebb and flow with internal symmetry.

While best understood directly and perceptually, Dev’s work presents an infinitely reproducible formal structure and lucid logic that can be known universally without empirical knowledge. Light and projection become representative of perceptual knowledge by directly invoking temporal optical phenomenon, but a pure idealized form remains intact. It is this interplay that reproduces the sublime conflict in the viewer, who must choose to ride this crest uncertainly and find exhilaration in the balance.

Metropolis

Metropolis is a 1927 German expressionist science-fiction film directed by Fritz Lang. Set in the year 2026, Metropolis takes place in a dystopian society where wealthy industrialists rule from vast tower complexes, oppressing the workers who live in the depths below them.

The drawing is placed on the largest window of the ‘Concertgebouw’ (Concert building) in Bruges with the perfect backdrop of the city. There are many different perspectives to the work wich has the effect of a changing picture throughout the day.

fragments of RGB

This project experiments with illusion and perception on various levels. The classic LED screen as a medium was simulated and disintegrated by the creation of a pixel-like optic using simple projection rather than the entire image’s being comprised of individual points of light. If one examines the idea of perception more closely, especially individual perception – which differs from individual to individual – then a second consideration arises in regard to “fragments of RGB”.

Metamembrana

A projeção representa uma paisagem em que num único panorama somam-se quatro projeções na horizontal em uma proporção de 16/3. Inspirado nos retábulos dos mestres flamengos Hyeronimus Bosch e Pieter Bruegel, a paisagem reproduz colinas, cidades, céus, mares e uma grande quantidade de situações protagonizadas por diferentes personagens. Não se trata de uma situação estática como daquelas pinturas, mas sim de uma colagem animada e variável vinculando o comportamento interativo das interfaces. A projeção dispõe de diferentes estados ou camadas, até sete, que resultam em uma grande diversidade interativa. As interfaces ou dispositivos sensíveis são ativados pelos espectadores que se convertem em usuários da instalação tanto no âmbito local como no resto das cidades. A interação também se produz por outros parâmetros, como o clima ou certos comportamentos sociais. Metamembrana tem uma clara vontade de estabelecer elementos de identificação com o espectador para fazê-lo participar da obra. Estão previstas três estratégias para consegui-lo: a primeira, previamente, mediante a produção de conteúdos in situ, em cada uma das cidades, com entidades e elementos próprios do lugar. A segunda, durante a exposição inserindo imagens dinâmicas como, por exemplo, câmeras conectadas a vários pontos da cidade ou capturas das faces de alguns espectadores. E a terceira, de maneira pontual, produzindo elementos ao vivo em cada uma das cidades que se retransmitem pela rede durante o período de exibição da peça.

Skinstrument

Skinstrument is a musical instrument which can be played by two players. By means of a tiny imperceptible current the players become part of a circuit. When the players touch each other on the skin this circuit starts to generate sound. The intensity of the touch determines the frequency of the sound.

Drama House
File Festival

“Drama house” is a house when the simple ring at the doorbell can have unpredictable consequences; event, one is stranger then another and in the same time all, what happens with habitants belongs to everyday life. Sometimes these circumstances are a little bit exaggerated. Spectator stands in front of low fence with a door-gate. There are 8 doorbells on it. The act of ringing provokes an action in an apartment window. Based on chance and the choices that viewers make, the project explores the contemporary trends in the construction of a narrative and the interplay between diverse informative sub-layers effected through the impact of digital, non-linear media. It also questions the very process of story telling and at the same time considers the way of audience reading. It investigates the differences of individual and collective perception. In other words, the sequence and choices that each viewer selects reflect his own perspectives and behavioral patterns, thus makes the viewer much more than an active participant. By interacting with the installation the viewer is engaged in the creative process: re-telling the ever-changing story through the utilization of the primary capability of the digitization: reshaping the information. Therefore, each participant walks away with a unique, slightly different vision, each shaped according to his own choices and directions. Interactive media and the digital environment of the DH and its narrative function through a recognizable metaphor that makes access to the information meaningful: a house as a conceptual society model and an apartment as a private space. This reference transforms the objects and stories in the project into the metaphors and reminds us of the art cultural function: as a site of memory of the social collective imagination and as a site of representation and power.
