oppenheimer’s aria
Sakamoto compôs esta ária para sua ópera Life, em 1999. Essa música, acompanhada do texto lido pelo próprio Oppenheimer, torna-se algo imperdível para não repetir grandes erros.
Sakamoto compôs o Aria para Oppenheimer com base em uma filmagem do cientista. Seus olhos transmitem todo o horror que ele carregou ao longo de sua vida.
“Sabíamos que o mundo não seria o mesmo. Algumas pessoas riram, algumas choraram, muitas ficaram em silêncio. Lembro-me da linha da escrita hindu, o Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu está tentando persuadir o príncipe a cumprir seu dever e, para impressioná-lo, ele assume sua forma com vários braços e diz: “Agora, me tornei a morte, destruidor de mundos.” Acho que todos nós pensamos isso, de uma forma ou de outra. . ” – Robert Oppenheimer, 16 de julho de 1945. Los Alamos, Novo México.

Aniara
“Early in the beginning of the film, we are introduced to a woman (Emelie Jonsson) who works on a kind of “attraction” of the spaceship called MIMA, which, at first, is not very popular. It is a technology capable of capturing people’s emotions. and turn them into images, or rather into a kind of vivid dream in their minds. As the ship wanders aimlessly through space, while it is not yet known if it is possible to return to the correct route, days become weeks, weeks become it takes months and the demand for MIMA increases. Aniara explores very well what makes us human as a race and also the importance of having a place to call her own. What was supposed to be a simple transport, over time becomes, in fact, a kind of “mini-planet”.” Marcio Melo

Valentin Spiess di iart, spiega come funziona il sistema. «Dietro il telone ci sono più di 10mila cilindri telescopici estensibili, sormontati da una sfera con il LED colorato. Quando la persona da ritrarre entra nel gabbiotto per il selfie, vengono scattate 5 immagini che un computer assembla in un rendering 3D. Una volta terminato il disegno, le informazioni vengono inviate al sistema che regola il posizionamento dei cilindri telescopici che si mettono nella posizione giusta per far apparire il viso prescelto». Il sistema è stato costruito in modo da poter essere riutilizzato. Come una specie di Mount Rushmore mobile e per tutti.

Loop Drawing Machine
The Loop Drawing Machine is a kinetic sculpture that uses magnets and iron filings to draw on paper. The friction of the iron on the paper both makes marks on the paper and pulls the paper through the machine; drawing a loop on a loop of paper. A chamber and auto-feed replenishes the iron as the magnets revolve past the feeder. Eventually the paper becomes a completely darkened by the overlapping marks.

Inverse
INVERSE combines 169 moving black spherical objects into a seemingly living entity. Monochromatic, sometimes threatening in its appearance, the ensemble presents in silhouette against the bright background.

Constant wrapping of pillars with a transparent adhesive tape results in a complex, amorphous surface through the process reminiscent of growing of organic forms. One line evolves into surface that forms an organic shape of extraordinary strength. The entrance of the audience inside the volume transforms the sculpture into architecture. It was practically “found” through the act of chaotic wrapping, where a one-dimensional line (“tape”) slowly turned into two-dimensional plane, which then finally curved into volume.

The Chiromancer
El quiromante es una IA * de lectura manual que escribe predicciones sobre la vida de una persona. Esta máquina actualiza la práctica ancestral de la lectura de la palma de la mano, hibridando datos biométricos con una infusión cibernética de conocimiento basado en la nube. Como muchos de los otros dispositivos que usamos hoy en día, recopila, almacena y extrapola datos de los usuarios. The Chiromancer explora cómo la confianza, las esperanzas y los deseos se depositan en máquinas aparentemente frías.
