Byoungho Kim

Бйонхо Киму
Floating Land

Este artista nacido y establecido en Seul trabaja con esculturas muy visuales que a veces rozan la linea que separa la escultura de la máquina. En muchas de ellas investiga con las posibilidades del sonido convirtiéndolo en arte. El artista surcoreano califica su obra como “Fantasía construida, fantasía del deseo, y una fantasía de nuestro tiempo”. Byoungho Kim dice que “la humanidad está en la búsqueda continua de nuevos deseos” y esa es una buena reflexión que también puede definir su obra a la perfección.

STEPHANIE DINKINS

Gespräche mit Bina
Die Künstlerin Stephanie Dinkins und Bina48, einer der fortschrittlichsten sozialen Roboter der Welt, testen diese Frage anhand einer Reihe laufender Gespräche auf Video. Dieses Kunstprojekt untersucht die Möglichkeit einer langfristigen Beziehung zwischen einer Person und einem autonomen Roboter, die auf emotionaler Interaktion basiert und möglicherweise wichtige Aspekte der Mensch-Roboter-Interaktion und des menschlichen Zustands aufdeckt. Die Beziehung wird mit Bina48 (Breakthrough Intelligence via Neural Architecture, 48 Exaflops pro Sekunde) aufgebaut, einem intelligenten Computer der Terasem Movement Foundation, der zu unabhängigem Denken und Emotionen fähig sein soll.

CALEB CHARLAND

КАЛЕБ ЧАРЛАНД
apple trees and LED
Portland, Maine-based photographer Caleb Charland frequently merges art and science with his photographic experiments involving electricity, fire, and magnetism. One of his ongoing projects involves a series of alternative power sources created using fruit, coins, and even vinegar to power the lights in his long exposure photographs. The apple photograph above involved a nearly 11-hour setup as he carefully hammered 300 zinc-coated galvanized nails into apples (zinc reacts with acid in the apples creating electricity, science!) and used copper wiring to transfer the current to a standard living room lamp. Even then, the light was so dim it required a 4-hour exposure during which Charland fended off ravenous deer through the night with an impromptu shaker made from a tin can and wire nuts. You can read much more about the ordeal over on Discover, and here’s a video of the entire project coming together.

THE SLOW INEVITABLE DEATH OF AMERICAN MUSCLE
This sculpture, by Jonathan Schipper, is a machine that advances two full sized automobiles slowly into one another, simulating a head on automobile collision. The gear system can be adjusted so that the crash occurs over the period of a few days, up to one year or more. The movement can be made so slow as to be invisible.

Mare Tranquilitatis

Mare Tranquillitatis – the title of this optical fibre sculpture of cosmic dimensions refers to a lunar mare that is situated within the Tranquillitatis basin on the moon. Very slowly and barely perceptible, this work takes on varying hues of yellow and white, creating the strange and poetic impression that the work is actually breathing,imitating the sensation that the moon is actually alive in the night sky.

STEPHAN BALLEUX

Stephan Balleux is the child of a century in which gathering images constituted the initial act of creation. As such, although a painter, he has inherited that doubt with regard to painting sown by Marcel Duchamp and deepened by the serial approaches of pop art and conceptual art.

Six Mil Antennas
SIX MIL ANTENNAS is a 360 degree immersive film that employs a range of visual and audio codes to bring a surrealist perspective to the forefront. Framing shifting communication processes in a fictional setting, the whimsical, open-ended work re-imagines different states of the world in a futuristic timeframe. Through a series of events, the piece alternates its tone between deconstructed gravity, aesthetic sensuality and satirical humor. Inserting filmed actors in faux designed landscapes, the film creates non-linear narratives of a personal, social and political nature and expresses a complex intertwining multiverse, in which the characters and abstract landscapes evolve.

Invisible Astronaut

“This neon and glass sculpture represents the cardiovascular system of astronaut Sally Ride shortly after her return to earth. The human body adapts to periods of prolonged weightlessness. When gravity suddenly returns, the blood pools in the lower extremities, and blood pressure drops. This condition is known as orthostatic intolerance. Hanging upside down can cause blood to pool around the heart, a potentially lethal condition. The awkward position shown above helps blood reach the brain without causing pooling around the heart.”

Madeleine Boschan

Madeleine Boschan is a deliberate and wilful protagonist of a new generation of artists who, in recent years, have subjected abstract sculpture to a critical actualisation. By reinstating the social dimension of a merely formalist approach, once more, she bestows contemporary aptitude and relevance upon it.

julie legrand

Au centre des luttes, des désirs souterrains, des pulsions de vie d’un corps. Se trouver au sein d’un volcan. S’introduire dans l’univers de Julie Legrand, dans lequel les oppositions ne se contrarient pas, mais correspondent à une recherche permanente de nouvelles complémentarités entre matières, structures, agencements et couleurs, comme la naissance de nouveaux possibles.

STILLNESS

Penser et sentir
Sous le thème du Zen, cette œuvre représente une partie de la philosophie du Zen avec des données tridimensionnelles créées avec la technologie de photogrammétrie composée du paysage le plus minimaliste des «points» et du paysage sonore des «ondulations», avec la coopération de Toryo Ito, vice-prêtre de Ryosokuin, temple Kennin-ji Tacchu, Kyoto. L’image générée reflétant les informations environnementales de l’espace d’exposition crée «une interaction entre l’environnement et l’image», tout comme les arbres et les feuilles se balançant dans le silence du temple zen.

SOLAR BELL
Inspired by Alexander Graham Bell’s lesser-known experiments with flight behavior of tetrahedrons, Berlin-based artist Tomas Saraceno developed Solar Bell – a lightweight, wind and solar powered, sculpture that plays with the concept of flying buildings.
