150 prepared dc-motors, 270kg wood, 210m string wire
The sounds of 150 mechanical seesaws striking the floor of a former church in Austria reverberate around its nave in this installation by Swiss artist Zimoun (+ movie).Named after the materials used in its creation, Zimoun’s latest installation is titled: 150 prepared dc-motors, 270kg wood, 210m string wire.The artist used the wood to build 150 simple seesaws, made from long batons that pivot vertically on short upright lengths.Orientated in different directions, these are scattered around the nave and transepts of Klangraum Krems – a Gothic church converted into an events space in the Austrian town of Krems an der Donau.Each seesaw incorporates a motor that powers a thin metal arm, which is attached to one end of the rocking wooden element by piece of wire.When the motor is activated the arm flicks back, pulling the string taught and causing the end of the wood to strike the ground.“Over a simple mechanical system the wooden laths are set in motion and randomly falling back to the floor,” said Zimoun.

Fanfanfan
Philip Vermeulen toont de installatie Fanfanfan in het Kunstenlab, waarin hij natuurkundige verschijnselen als licht, geluid en beweging manipuleert. Het kinetische ‘hypersculptuur’ beweegt met zo’n hoge snelheid dat de fysieke eigenschappen van de materialen voor je ogen lijken te vervormen.

Sonic Fountain II
An excavation filled with milky water, Sonic Fountain is surmounted by nine taps distributed in a grid which taste according to a precisely written score. In the water, microphones record the sound of drops of water – sound broadcast live in space, like a concert. In the artist’s words, Sonic Fountain “is a deliberately abstract work that bares architecture and reveals its rhythm, tempo and language”.

Biomatrix
«Biomatrix» est une installation d’extrémités scycles de bulles de cellules éruptives émergeant à la surface de l’huile de silicone liquide. Cette circulation du liquide coloré évoque le comportement du magma ou du sang et, en raison de la viscosité élevée de l’huile de silicium, illustre le mouvement du matériau à une vitesse faussement plus lente que l’attente du spectateur. La piscine à commande électrique devient une interface qui amplifie l’impact visuel et produit à l’infini des motifs cellulaires. Une formation de grille ordonnée apparaît comme une matrice numérique, tandis qu’une observation plus approfondie révèle des irrégularités telles qu’une effervescence sporadique et simultanée et des sons plosifs brisant la tension superficielle.

See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil
In taking on the triptych form, Yoshihide Sodeoka’s “See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil” finds transcendence in the intense frequency of violet noise. With a title referencing the Three Wise Monkeys 17th century carving over the door of the famous Toshogu shrine in Nikko, Japan, Sodeoka uses the digital video medium — specifically the trope of video feedback and television static bars — to represent a contemporary form of positive mindfulness and action.
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.
Cornelia Parker
War Room
“There were poppies as far as the eye could see,” says Cornelia Parker RA of her recent trip to Aylesford in Kent. But she is not talking about real flowers. She is recalling a visit to the village’s huge factory that produces paper poppies for Remembrance Day. This led to her new work War Room (2015, above), on view as part of her survey show at the newly refurbished Whitworth Gallery in Manchester.

מפגש ערפל
Mist Encounter הוא ביתן קיץ שניצב ברחבה החיצונית הגדולה מול מוזיאון טאיפיי לאמנות. השמש והבריזה הקיצית ייסחפו פנימה ויחיו את מבנה הפיגום והרשת. ערפל לא ברור יעלה מהכיכר החיצונית וימשוך את המבקרים להתקרב. כשהמבקרים הולכים מהכיכר החיצונית אל הפנימית, הם יעטפו בהדרגה בערפל, ודברים יופיעו ויעלמו כשהערפל לסירוגין נעשה כבד וקל יותר. האפקט יהיה דומה לחוויה של מעבר בערפל כבד ביער קסום.

Manna Sculpture
The sculptures MANNA MACHINE are photobioreactors in which algae (Chlorella vulgaris) grow. The tubes and hoses form a drawing in space and are used for photosynthesis, similar to the leaves of a plant. The resulting biomass is filtered, dried and processed into pigment.
