Before an object, material, or idea is understood – before it has a name – language relegates it to being a ‘thing.’ Not until it is cut open, taken apart, appropriated, used or misused, do we begin to know it, and consequently title it appropriately, as needed. It is then that this thing can become ours to categorize and organize within our systems of knowledge. Dutch-born, Berlin-based artist Rachel De Joode inverts this process in her study of “things,” and returns them back for refreshed and deconstructed viewing, wherein we once again feel unsure or almost suspicious about the objects with which we co-exist.

future dayspa
The Future Day Spa is a personlised, physiological experience delivering controlled vacuum pressure to the body replicating the feeling of being hugged. Guided by a therapist, participants hand their bodies over to a part–human, part–machine process inducing a state of relaxation. A collaboration between Qualcomm’s Inventor Lab, we integrated technologies for capturing biometric data to understand the physiological benefits of a treatment.

Seventh Sense
Seventh Sense is the collaborative project between Anarchy Dance Theatre and Ultra Combos focusing on building up a new viewer centered performance venue. In this space all movements including the dancers’ and audience’s can be detected and interact with each other through visual effect. The audience is not merely watching the show but actively participating in it. Seventh Sense combines new media and dance to present a wonderful space atmosphere. The elements of interaction, theater and dance are rubbed in to a successful balance. by Sakai Naoki.

INVISIBLE CAR
MERCEDES-BENZ “Invisible Drive”
The Mercedes-Benz F-CELL is the first hydrogen-powered car, which is ready for series production. With a spectacular action we draw a suitable attention to this innovation: We made people experience F-CELL the same way the environment does – like it’s not even existent. In practice: We disguised the B-Class F-CELL with mats out of LEDs on the one side and fixed a camera on the other side of the car. The camera filmed everything that happened behind the vehicle and transferred every action directly to the LED mats. The effect: The B-Class fused completely with its surrounding and became invisible for the passersby in the immediate vicinity.

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.

Ricardo Siri
Oroboro
Siri (Rio de Janeiro, 1974) é um multi-instrumentista que constrói seu discurso através de performances e arte sonora. Percussionista por formação[…] Siri substitui a pele de tambores e o som de instrumentos de sopro como tubas e trompetes condenados pela idade, por alto-falantes. A partir daí, em um processo que propõe ressuscitar os instrumentos, o artista faz composições únicas para cada peça, criando assim, uma base sonora para suas performances.

Swinging Pendulum
Suspended from automated grids, more than 400 pendulums are activated to initiate a sweeping 15 part counterpoint of tempi, spacial juxtaposition and gradients of centrifugal force which offers the spectator a constantly morphing labyrinth of significant complexity. The spectators
are free to attempt a navigation this statistically unpredictable environment, but are requested to avoid coming in contact with any of the swinging pendulums. This task, which automatically initiates and alerts the spectators innate predictive faculties, produces a lively choreography of manifold and intricate avoidance strategies.

Pionier
Der Installationskünstler produziert oft Musik unter dem Namen Alva Noto und leitet mit seinem Freund Olaf Bender das Label Raster-Norton. Die Projekte des Teams experimentieren mit der Verschmelzung von Klang, Kunst und Design. Nicolais Arbeit umfasst die Spannung, die Unfällen innewohnt. In unserem Videoprofil des Schöpfers (oben) erklärt er, dass Störungen seine Daten häufig auf frische und aufregende Weise beschädigen. “Defekte Elemente werden als Grundlage für Musik verwendet”, sagt Nicolai. “Sie haben keine Kontrolle darüber, was passiert. Natürlich läuft etwas schief, aber es ist wirklich aufregend. ” Und bei seinen Erkundungen von Klängen und Bildern arbeitet Nicolai daran, einige unfaire Annahmen zu zerstören, die sein Publikum möglicherweise hat. “Die Vorstellung, dass elektronische Musik kalt ist und keine Emotionen aufweist, hat mit den Gewohnheiten der Menschen in Bezug auf Musik zu tun.” Nicolai ist sich bewusst, dass einige seiner Projekte diese unfaire Konzeption widerlegt haben – nämlich seine Zusammenarbeit mit Ryuichi Sakamoto, in der „starke emotionale Situationen geschaffen wurden“. Die Pionier I-Ausstellung von Carsten Nicolai kommt am kommenden Freitag, dem 23. September, in die Pace Gallery in New York City. Die Installation zeigt die Expansion und Kontraktion eines Fallschirms aus weißer Seide. Nicolai ist fasziniert von Widersprüchen. „Wir Menschen versuchen immer mehr, Maschinen zum Denken zu befähigen, aber gleichzeitig versuchen wir, immer mehr Mechaniker zu werden. In gewisser Weise ist es fantastisch, dass wir uns permanent dieser Polarität und diesem Konflikt aussetzen. “

Licht in Wasser Installation
“Licht im Wasser“ ist eine ortsspezifische Installation, die ein eindringliches und emotionales Erlebnis bieten soll. Es wurde zuvor auf der Mailänder Designwoche 2011 vorgestellt. Die Installation nutzte den einzigartigen Status des Veranstaltungsortes – einer der ältesten Betonkuppeln in Paris. Die Installation wurde daher an die kreisförmige Form des Raums angepasst und definierte das innere Heiligtum als „Ort zum Sein“ und einen äußeren Bereich als Raum für einen Zuschauer. An der Decke befinden sich 16 Ringe aus Schlitzrohren. Aus jedem Loch fallen jede Minute 60 Tropfen Wasser; Insgesamt zirkulieren 3 Tonnen Wasser im Raum. Die LED-Leuchten vibrieren zwischen Ein und Aus mit Frequenzen im kürzesten Intervall von 7 μs, sodass der Betrachter einen Lichtpunkt im Wasser bis zu 6000 μs materialisieren kann, an dem Licht zur Wasserlinie wird.

Shorter than the Day
The New York-based artist captures the sky as it changes from cerulean blue morning to a colorful sunset to the many shades of night through nearly 1,000 photographs of the sky. Each printed image is fastened to the aluminum and steel with alligator clips and is revealed as viewers move around the massive work, just like the earth circles the sun to mark a day.
