Our Colour
Does colour change the way you feel? What does it feel like to be inside a rainbow? For the 2016 edition of the Bristol Biennial British artist Liz West invited visitors to drench themselves in the spectrum. West transformed architectural space and turned colour into an immersive and embodied experience by refracting light through carefully arranged coloured theatre gels. A vivid world was created, exploring human visual perception and how colour affects our emotions and our bodies.

Olfactory architecture
Twelve identical dimples set seamlessly into the walls have space for one visitor’s head, which triggers the release of a dry version of each perfume, dispensed by hidden, high-spec technology so far only found at trade shows.

Shirley
Visions of reality
FILE FESTIVAL
Shirley is a woman in America in the 1930s, ‘40s, ‘50s, and early ‘60s. A woman who would like to influence the course of history with her professional and socio-political involvement. A woman who does not accept the reality of the Depression years, WWII, the McCarthy era, race conflicts and civil rights campaigns as given but rather as generated and adjustable.

The Forgettable Art Machine

FILE 2024 | Installations

International Electronic Language Festival

The Forgettable Art Machine is an artificial intelligence-driven video installation. When facing the panel, the public has their image captured, starting a cycle of analysis, creation and destruction. From this data, a composite emerges, slowly transforming the visitors’ image into a generative visualization. Once the cycle is complete, the composition is deleted, waiting for a new audience to be captured.

Bio

Waves
FILE FESTIVAL
A long piece of rope generates 3D waves floating in space by the physical action of its movement: the rope which creates the visual waves also simultaneously creates the sound by cutting through the air, making up a single element. The installation is affected by those who watch it. When the audience moves around it they influence the movements of the rope, generating visual and acoustic sound waves from harmonic patterns to complex ones.

PHILIP GLASS

Satyagraha
Portrait Trilogy:Einstein; Akhnaten; Gandhi
composed by Philip Glass, with a libretto by Glass and Constance DeJong.
Loosely based on the life of Mahatma Gandhi, it forms the second part of Glass’s “Portrait Trilogy” of operas about men who changed the world, which includes Einstein on the Beach and Akhnaten.
Glass’s style can broadly be described as minimalist.

MICHAEL WALLRAFF

Vienna Central Station
Infobox Hauptbahnhof Wien
迈克尔·沃拉夫(Michael Wallraff)是维也纳建筑师,1968年出生于慕尼黑,曾在洛杉矶和维也纳学习,并在那里开设了工作室。沃拉夫(Wallraff)花费了多年的时间来深入研究城市结构中垂直空间的使用,以及通过位于人口稠密的城市结构中的典型开放式公共空间来创造社会互动的新维度的方法。 Wallraff的“ Infobox维也纳中央车站”项目是一个投机竞赛项目,目的是建立一个新的信息中心,该中心是为维也纳旧城的维也纳中央车站的施工现场而设计的。该结构将被抬高至地面以上22米,并悬挂在与这些支柱支撑相连的高架结构钢腹板上。尽管箱子的钢结构计划为规则的钢格板,但适合于铺设地基的有限表面使得无法以固定的间隔设置支撑(地下排水沟,停车场严重限制了地面荷载的传递选择)很多,还有一个巴士总站)。尝试使用生成过程建模来开发复杂的三维结构,该结构不仅在结构上有效,而且还是建筑设计的基本要素。

Thomas Feuerstein

Psychoprosa

The exhibition PSYCHOPROSA focuses on mucus as a biochemical substance and sculptural material. The production of mucus takes place as a real process within the exhibition spaces, transforming the Frankfurter Kunstverein into an interconnecting ensemble of greenhouse, laboratory, walk-in refrigerator, cinema, and factory. Through tubes connected to one another, equipment and objects produce and transform their interior substances, refrigerators open and close automatically and transparent threads of mucus drip from expansive glass sculptures.

In close collaboration with biochemists, Thomas Feuerstein has developed the synthetic molecule Psilamin, derived from algae and fungi. In its production, large quantities of viscous biofilm are generated. If one were to take Psilamin, one would begin to feel psychotropic effects. Perception would liquefy, and objects in the room would appear soft and shapeless. Simultaneously, the flowing nature of the sculptural matter, which escapes solid form, externalizes an inner psychic process. At the end of the biochemical production process, which visitors can track in the different exhibition spaces, there is the expan-sive sculpture Accademia dei Secreti over whose glass containers vast amounts of mucus pour.

Glow

Glow是艺术总监Gideon Obarzanek和互动软件创作者Frieder Weiss撰写的具有启发性的30分钟编舞文章。 在复杂的视频跟踪系统的光芒之下,孤独的有机物在人类形态的内外变异,变成了陌生,感性和怪诞的生物状态。 利用最新的交互式视频技术,可以根据舞者的动作实时生成数字景观。 身体的手势会延伸,并进而控制围绕它的视频世界,而不会呈现出完全相同的两种表演。

Tout à chaque fois
La pièce présente un commentaire continu sur l’activité de la ville dans laquelle elle se situe. La «poésie», qui est créée par un algorithme qui sélectionne et réorganise au hasard les données collectées à partir d’un certain nombre de points spécifiques au site, et est publiée sur un site Web. Les Pis tirent la poésie du site Web sur 4G, puis transmettent les adresses de lettres via Ethernet aux arduinos, puis aux moteurs en utilisant le protocole réseau I2C. L’acte de ceci déclenche alors l’algorithme pour générer un nouveau poème.

La flexibilite
Si pudiéramos describir el trabajo de Benoit Paillé concluiríamos que es dueño de un talento excepcional y único. Cada nueva propuesta de este fotógrafo es signo de genialidad en cuanto a sus temáticas y su depurada técnica, una fusión que da vida a un trabajo que parece una verdadera documentación de lo cotidiano.

Motion Paintings
Questo lavoro è ispirato da uno degli spettacoli più straordinari della natura: l’enorme stormo di uccelli, dove poche centinaia di uccelli si girano e si attorcigliano contemporaneamente creando un’unica grande nuvola. Abbiamo tradotto questi movimenti e forme in un disegno panoramico di diversi elementi che variano in lunghezza, spessore, colore e rotazione.

Light Tree: Interactive Dan Flavin
HYBE’s Light Tree: Interactive Dan Flavin re-illuminates the minimalist fluorescent light tubes of Dan Flavin from the 1960s, through digital technology. Experimenting with light and its effect, Flavin explored artistic meaning in relationships between light, situation, and environment. The readymade fluorescent light fixtures he used created space divided and adjusted by light and composition, offering a newly structured space with light. HYBE’s work expands the logic of Flavin by reinforcing the physical property of light through interactive media. It presents an escape from traditional lighting, as light and color changes when touched by viewers. Lighting here is divided into front and back, and colors are programmed to maintain complementary colors. The front lighting constantly interacts with colors on a back wall through visual contrast and mixture. A random change and diffusion of light with the involvement of viewers provokes tension extending and segmenting space, turning space into a forum for emotional perceptual experience.

Circuit Ouvert
File Festival
Circuit Ouvert est une installation sonore de Christoph Haag, Martin Rumori, Franziska Windisch et Ludwig Zeller. L’équipe a créé le projet pendant ses études à l’Académie des arts médiatiques de Cologne. Le circuit ouvert consiste en un labyrinthe de pistes de cuivre ouvertes qui couvrent le sol et les murs de l’espace d’installation. Ces pistes transportent les signaux électriques d’un référentiel sonore multicanal qui deviennent audibles lorsque des haut-parleurs sans fil sont placés sur le cuivre. Le son émis par les haut-parleurs change en fonction de la façon dont ils sont déplacés.

marleen sleeuwits

object no. 9

Marleen Sleeuwits is inspired by impersonal environments—places that could be anywhere and nowhere—such as vacant zones in airports, unoccupied corridors of hotels, and empty rooms in office buildings. The Netherlands-based artist is attracted to these non-spaces for the lack of impression they leave on people; her work focuses on finding ways of visualizing the identity of these voids and connecting to them in novel ways. Through structural contradiction, illusion, and the manipulation of scale, she aims to transform viewers’ awareness of their surroundings.
