Vincent Leroy
Bubbles in Canyon
Paris-based artist, Vincent Leroy, has taken his characteristic use of levitating orbs to bryce canyon in the USA. This conceptual project, titled ‘bubbles in canyon’ imagines a mass of transparent spheres suspended in rotation between the cliffs. The installation hopes to offer viewers the opportunity to contemplate nature through an optical effect.
ES DEVLIN
Ei
Eine horizontal verlaufende Spiegelwand reflektiert das Modell und lässt die Metropole als organische, symmetrische Form erscheinen. Zu sehen ist das Ganze in einer Galerie in der Nähe des Hochparks High Line im Süden Manhattans. Devlin beschreibt ihre Arbeit als «mysteriöse Auster oder Gehirn mit einer elliptischen Schale». Lichtprojektionen erwecken den Eindruck, als durchlaufe die Stadt Zyklen von Tag und Nacht. Entlang der Straßen blitzen dabei im Dunkeln auch gelbe und orangefarbene Lichter auf, sterben an Autoverkehr aus der Ferne erinnern.

Solaris
In Solaris (1972), Andrei Tarkovsky presents a vision of contemporary society as one that has become cut off from nature, and provides a narrative that illustrates the possibility of remaining human in the inhuman world that is the result. The film contrasts a life-affirming natural landscape to an urban, constructed landscape where the natural world is submerged and invisible. The Solaris space station is both a projection of this second, inhuman, landscape and an allegory for Tarkovsky’s view of urban life. The narrative of the film concerns the journey by the central character, Kris Kelvin (Donatas Banionis), from emotional deadness to a rediscovery of his humanity as he charts a course between these two worlds, and the role that art, whether painting, music or film, plays in this.

Olivier Ratsi
Frame Perspective
Measuring 30m x 30m x 2.4m and featuring LED lights and 8 audio channels, Frame Perspective transforms a cavernous space at the Maison de la Région. On specific dates throughout the Constellations festival Ratsi has prepared a light programme in the space, accompanied by a sound composition played by Thomas Vaquié (see the festival programme for more details). Frame Perspective continues Ratsi’s interrogation of reality through the creation of exploratory and peripheral spaces. The installation’s repeating forms create new dimensions in the Maison de la Région, interrupting the lines of the architecture. Meanwhile the composition of interacting lights and sounds disrupts the sonic and visual textures of the space and resonates with the visitor on uncharted frequencies. The effect is to immerse the visitor into a fluctuating environment which connects digital technologies with physical spaces and raises questions about how reality is constructed and experienced in digital, physical and other realms.

Fountain with Red
Stainless steel, water pump, red liquid, urethane paint. Ujoo+limheeyoung is the husband and wife team of media artists Ujoo and Limheeyoung. Since first working together in 2004 in preparation for design competition, they have been involved in projects that use a variety of means of visual expression – kinect expression sculpture, drawings, real-time interactive videos – to address the theme of absurdity of reality.
Alex Myers
Nothing of This is Ours
“With his strong signature, and his recognizable visual and digital language, Alex creates infinite, surrealistic worlds with colorful creatures, alchemistic symbols, buddhas and other worldly cultural discoveryheritages. In the multiplayer game installation ‘Nothing of This is Ours’, visitors can immerse themselves in the mystic landscapes, graphic patterns and polygon characters. A journey without a destination, exploring with pure instinct. Alex offers the visitors a closer look at the artistic, innovative possibilities of the art game. The game as a contemporary medium, where the newest technique and art come together and enrich the one who takes the time to play the game. Alex invites the visitor to play in M0Bi, individually or collectively, experienced and inexperienced!”

PALOURDES
Dans la nature, les palourdes sont des détecteurs de polluants ; ils servent de minuscules systèmes de filtration. Clams est une collection de sculptures sonores cinétiques qui convertissent les données des capteurs de qualité de l’eau en sons et en mouvements. Chaque « palourde » est fabriquée à partir de déchets plastiques recyclés et contient un haut-parleur. Le paysage sonore microtonal en constante évolution confère à chaque coque une action d’ouverture et de fermeture subtile et réaliste. Les lectures en temps réel d’un capteur de pureté de l’eau standard placé dans la rivière, le lac ou la mer des villes où l’œuvre d’art est présentée, constituent la base de la musique, qui est générée par un processus en constante évolution basé sur les niveaux de qualité de l’eau sur temps. Les palourdes invitent le public à établir des liens entre l’art médiatique, la sonification des données et la durabilité environnementale.
Ya-Wen Fu
In space-in-between the artist will construct an apparatus that allows her body to extend into space. By using this tool and the movement of her body, she will be able to construct an interactive space. How she moves and what she installs are important for this work. During her residency, Ya-Wen Fu will investigate about the opportunity to communicate with the inhabitants of Gijón, issue what will help her to extend her cultural understanding and to shape the work.

Universe of Water Particles
Universe of Water Particles is a waterfall created in a computer-simulated environment. A virtual rock is first sculpted and computer-generated water consisting of hundreds of thousands of water particles is then poured onto it. The computer calculates the movement of these particles to produce an accurate waterfall simulation that flows in accordance to physical laws. Next, 0.1 percent of the particles are selected and lines are drawn in relation to them. The sinuousness of the lines depends on the overall interaction among the water particles and forms the magnificent cascade seen on screen.
