keyboard study
The score to “Keyboard Study 1” is spare: two pages of musical cells and two pages of written instructions for how to navigate and manipulate those cells provide the pitch material, but choices about duration, dynamics, and shape are left up to the performer. There are three ostinati that form the skeleton of the piece between which are related sets of variations that will be mixed, matched, and sometimes played on top of the primary pattern. Riley offers the recipe for how to mix the ostinati and variation sets then its up to the performer(s) to choose which variation to use out of a particular set and how to shape the transitions from one ostinato to the next. Riley’s music empowers performers to create and react while also bonding their expression to the act of composition.

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.

foam
Japanese artist Kohei Nawa has immersed visitors at the aichi triennale in undulating sea of bubbling matter, surrounding the walls and floor in porous, cloud-like material. ‘Foam’ inhabits an almost pitch-black room, creating an ethereal quality that seems aesthetically otherworldly walking through the space, the topography of the puffs creates a massive terrain of floating material, stiff enough to stand in place, yet copious in its fragility and delicacy.

Dracula (Bela Lugosi)
Dracula is one of Philip Glass’ many projects that involves adding music to classic films, the most effective of which is probably Cocteau’s La Belle et la Bête, which essentially turned Cocteau’s masterpiece into a stunning film opera. His music for Dracula exists in four versions: the original, for string quartet, recorded by the Kronos Quartet; an arrangement by the composer for string quartet and piano; and arrangements for the Philip Glass Ensemble and for solo piano, both made by Michael Riesman, who plays the solo version.

Mouvant
Mouvant (2020) – это лентикулярное произведение искусства, которое сконденсировало четыре года в дороге. Эта работа является частью сборника работ по алгоритмическому приводу, в котором исследуются различные аспекты искусственного интеллекта посредством разработки беспилотных автомобилей. Сортировка и генерация изображений, сделанных путем анализа сотен часов видео и данных, собранных моим автомобилем, распределяются в нестабильном изображении на пороге абстракции. При движении впереди работы анимация и стереоскопический эффект лентикулярных изображений отображает размытый и яркий спектр, напоминающий различные условия вождения и изменяющуюся эстетику генеративных состязательных сетей (GAN). Колебаясь между днем и ночью, Муван переносит зрителя через разнообразие времен года и окружающей среды (леса, шоссе, города и т. Д.), Которые переходят одно в другое.

ballon stratospherique
To most people, balloons are simply associated with children, décor and celebratory events. Their role is usually meek − look cute and embellish. But to the internationally-acclaimed Swiss performance artist Victorine Müller, they hold a much greater meaning and usefulness. The inflatable aspect of balloons is an essential part of her work. For over fourteen years now, she has been combining the disciplines of painting and sculpture, with sound art and performance.

Aerocene
Geboren uit collectieve bezorgdheid over de impact van klimaatverandering, benadrukt de permanente installatie Movement, gemaakt door Tomás Saraceno met Aerocene voor Ruinart, de urgentie van de klimaatuitdagingen waarmee we worden geconfronteerd en roept ons op om de lucht van fossiele brandstoffen te bevrijden. Een verschil van één graad tussen de omgevingslucht en de lucht die in het Aerocene is opgesloten, is voldoende om het opblaasbare aerosolar-beeldhouwwerk in de lucht te laten vliegen. In de Champagne-regio verstoort een opwarming van het klimaat met één graad het natuurlijke rijpingsproces van de druiven, een andere zichtbare markering van veranderende temperaturen.
Tacit Group
61/6 altavoces
Tacit Group es un grupo de performance audiovisual que se ha formado en 2008 para crear un trabajo centrado en lo algorítmico y audiovisual. Su arte algorítmico se centra en el proceso más que en el resultado. Crean código matemático, sistemas que utilizan principios y reglas, e improvisan actuaciones en el escenario utilizando los sistemas. Durante la actuación, los sistemas se revelan visual y sonoramente, para que el público pueda escuchar con sus ojos, como la forma en que vemos “El Grito” de Edvard Munch (Noruega, 1863-1944). Las imágenes son parte integral del trabajo de Tacit Group como compositores y artistas de los medios. Esperan que al mostrar no solo la pieza terminada, sino el proceso de charlar o jugar que la genera, involucren a sus espectadores más intensamente y rompan la división convencional entre los artistas intérpretes o ejecutantes y los miembros de la audiencia. Ninguno de sus trabajos se completa nunca. Actualizan continuamente los sistemas subyacentes y se inspiran en su práctica de programación informática. Como artistas de nuestra era, Tacit Group descubre posibilidades artísticas en la tecnología.

Amelia
Edouard Locke
“Directed and choreographed by Locke in 2002, Amelia, is a beautiful piece of dance on film that won awards and critical acclaim at numerous festivals when it came out. Amelia features a hypnotic, original, minimalist score written by David Lang for violin, cello, piano and voice, and lyrics from five of Lou Reed’s most famous works that he created in the 60s for the Velvet Underground. It is beautifully shot from multiple angles, some dizzying and swooping, in a space that was tailor-made for the film itself. The shadows and lighting in tandem with the shots and the movement add layers of beauty to the stark visuals.” Sarah Elgart

Sword of Damocles
At a lavish banquet, King Dionysius is confronted by his servant Damocles – a brat who is jealous of the king’s splendor and power. Through supernatural forces, the two roles are switched. The smug, inexperienced commoner becomes the king. But his joy is short-lived.
He quickly realizes that being king isn’t all crowns and cheeseburgers. With great power comes great responsibility.

The Sword of Damocles
Just release it
To the authorities
Raise kindness
Above all else
Avoid the books of
Hatred behind the shelves
I will caress your
Caress your curly hair
With affection
Many a good reason to cut off your head
Then and then
Release
The Sword of Damocles
Just release it
I’m begging
You on my knees
There is no reason
To hide it from the sun
I am a tyrant
Trust me, you are not the one and only
And trust me, you are not the one and only
And trust me, you are not the one and only
Lonely person

CYBERDANCE
This net art by Ricardo Barreto and Paula Perissinotto offers us a split, fragmented, impossible dance, in a divided, multiplied space. Cyberdance consists of the combination and recombination of elements that represent the different parts of the human body. A mannequin was photographed as a model in different positions. These images were later converted to the animated form, allowing users to combine them in different ways, as well as link them to different dance terms, to the names of postures and positions of classical ballet. On a page divided into frames containing fragments of the mannequin, we can see his head, legs, torso and arms rotating, while allowing us to subdivide each frame by clicking on it, each frame composing an aberrant doll whose fragments dance, silently, independent one from the other. There is no music, no rhythm, no space. It is a digital dance, a dance in which time and space have become a platform.

Casa Atlântica
La oficina de arquitectura Zaha Hadid Architects reveló el diseño de su primer proyecto brasileño, un edificio residencial de lujo conocido como Casa Atlântica, que se localizará en la Avenida Atlântica en Copacabana, Río de Janeiro. El edificio que contará con 11 pisos, incluye una fachada cuya imagen parece ser una espina con amplios balcones y una piscina en la cubierta. De acuerdo con la oficina de arquitectura de la famosa arquitecta Zaha Hadid: “Las formas naturales de las colinas y playas de Río de Janeiro genera una cualidad elástica y maleable dentro del tejido urbano de la ciudad, al momento que el dinamismo de Copacabana –con su energía y ritmo– hace de éste un de los espacios públicos más importantes de la ciudad”
