Een natuurlijke geschiedenis van netwerken / Soft Machine
A Natural History of Networks / SoftMachine is een elektrochemische algoritmische machine die een alternatief computationeel en technologisch materiaalregime onderzoekt, gebaseerd op Gordon Pask’s experimenten met elektrochemische leermechanismen [↓ 1] en huidig ​​onderzoek naar biomimetica, programmeerbare materie en vloeibare ruimtetijdgestuurde metalen actuatoren . Binnenin creëert een op maat gebouwd elektrochemisch experimenteel apparaat (SoftMachine) een dynamische vloeibare microkosmos die een continue evolutie van vormen, structuren en materiële verhalen uitvoert. De voorstelling heeft tot doel nieuwe verbeeldingen van het machinale, het kunstmatige en het materiële uit te lokken. Een radicale technologie die traditioneel discreet mechanisch denken verbindt met zachte/vloeibare materialen die zelfgeorganiseerd gedrag mogelijk maken via hun specifieke materiële agentschappen.

Algumas de suas obras mais populares incluem suas contribuições para 101 Dalmations, Daria e Doug. Assim que o KAWS começou a ganhar popularidade, seus anúncios de graffiti tornaram-se muito procurados. Ele viajou extensivamente para trabalhar em Paris, Londres, Alemanha e Japão.

Den of Wolves
Den of Wolves is a video installation drawing on a range of references to weave a new multi-layered mythology. The work follows three bizarre wolves through a series of increasingly surreal retail stores as they search for the regalia of a monarch. Composed of one continuous camera shot, the work is an immersive, dreamlike journey drawing connections between popular culture, institutional authority and technological over-dependence.

ビッグエアパッケージ
ビッグエアパッケージは、世界最大の屋内彫刻です。高さ90メートル、直径50メートルです。訪問者はエアロックを介して気球の内部空間に入ることができます。内部では、ビッグエアパッケージは拡散光で満たされた大聖堂を思い起こさせます。ビッグエアパッケージは、クリストの亡き妻であり芸術パートナーであるジャンヌクロードなしで実現された最初のプロジェクトです。

Sinking Ship
For the new piece, titled The Ship Is Sinking, she wore a white bikini adorned with the Whitney logo. An S&M professional who goes by “Master Avery,” playing a character called “Mr. Whitney,” bound Sulkowicz tightly and hung her from the ceiling on a wooden beam, periodically whipping and insulting her.

With over 10 years of experience in the technology industry developing digital products, she uses contemporary dance and somatic practices to advocate for conscious disconnection in our hyperconnected world.

CellF
“CellF is the world’s first neural synthesiser. Its “brain” is made of biological neural networks that grow in a Petri dish and controls in real time it’s “body” that is made of an array of analogue modular synthesizers that work in synergy with it and play with human musicians. It is a completely autonomous instrument that consists of a neural network that is bio-engineered from my own cells that control a custom-built synthesizer. There is no programming or computers involved, only biological matter and analogue circuits; a ‘wet-analogue’ instrument.”Guy Ben-Ary

the Indistinct Notion of an Object Trajectory

Ryota Matsumoto’s drawings develop and demonstrate the hybrid/multi-layered process where varying scale, juxtaposition of different forms, intertwined textures/tones are applied to reinvent and question the spatial conditions of architectural drawings. His work explore a hybrid drawing technique combining both traditional media (ink, acrylic, and graphite) and digital media (algorithmic processing, scripting and image compositing with custom software ) .

Flying Stone No.2
Zhan Wang’s most celebrated work to date is his series of “artificial rocks” – stainless steel replicas of the much-revered “scholar’s rocks” traditionally found in Chinese gardens. The mirrored surfaces of these often monumental objects absorb the viewer and its surrounding environment, enticing them to become part of the work, an abstraction and distortion of reality, thus creating a visual interplay between positions of tradition and modernity.

Spiritus Sonata

Spiritus Sonata is an artistic representation of animism. ‘Spiritus’ is variously translated from Latin, Hebrew and Greek to mean breath or ‘spirit sense’. With this theoretical combination of breath, spirit, animating the inanimate and investing our characters with digital souls, we aim to engender positive emotion in our audience.
By embedding echoes of childhood play in this installation and linking them to animism we hope to inspire reflection in participants. The same air used to inflate the structures is used to create sounds from their nose extensions, an instrument that operates like an old church pipe organ, another subtle link to worship as well as being a joyful, playful feature.

Freies Geleit
Zieh deine Schuhe aus, lege deine Sachen in das Tablett und entleere deine Taschen. Was passiert, wenn wir zweifelsohne den Sicherheitsbestimmungen des Flughafens unterliegen – oder anderen, weniger offensichtlichen Protokollen in der Gesellschaft? Dies ist eine der Fragen, mit denen sich der Künstler Ed Atkins in einer neuen Arbeit befasst, die speziell für den X-Rummet-Veranstaltungsort des SMK produziert wurde. Die Videoarbeit Safe Conduct des britischen Künstlers Ed Atkins ist eine Burleske von Videos mit Anweisungen zur Flughafensicherheit. Atkins mischt angeeignetes und CGI-Material des Künstlers, das auf Ravels “Bolero” gesetzt ist. Ein Karussell aus Protokollen, die Körper buchstäblich und metaphorisch zu Schlachthöfen und Metalldetektoren machten.

Eternity Be Kind
LaTurbo Avedon performs Myriam Bleau’s music in a multiplatform audiovisual performance. Eternity Be Kind exposes the codified spaces of performance and hints at a different future for personal and musical representation. Navigating between hyper-pop, mythical symbolism and baroque hints, the artists propose a multilayered experience of collective mise en abyme.

oh mei ma weiss
The Oh Mei Ma Weiss Chandelier (also known as the Oh Mei Ma White Chandelier) by Ingo Maurer is fashioned from six sheets of aluminum with a matte-white lacquered textured paint finish. This stylish Ingo Maurer lamp is a sensation to behold. Ingo Maurer’s Oh Mei Ma Weiss is a true classic and a fine example of Ingo Maurer’s artistry. Oh Mei Ma Weiss is composed of 6 thin aluminum shades which are suspended from thin metal cables. The aluminum paper shades are nested above each other to create a soft diffusion of light throughout a space.

情報化による全自動的な資本主義社会のなかで、制度により規制された私たち現代人の身体と愛の在り方を静謐に表した映作品です。作者の古橋悌二は、京都を拠点として1984年に結成されたアーティスト集団「ダムタイプ」の中心メンバーとして活躍し、1995年にHIV感染のため他界しました。
≪LOVERS≫は1994年に発表された後、幾度かの改訂を経ていますが、本作は、2001年のせんだいメディアテーク開館記念展に際してダムタイプの高谷史郎氏が再現制作したもので、当館の寄託作品となっています。現在、ニューヨーク近代美術館（MOMA）に収蔵されているもの以外では唯一展示可能な状態として残る作品です。なお、仙台で12年ぶりの公開となる今回は、2001年の際には省略された部分も再現し、オリジナルに近い仕様で公開します。

Noble and Webster produce silhouetted self-portraits through carefully constructed mounds of rubbish and debris illuminated at one precise angle, transforming the abstract pieces into figurative composites. Each sculptural installation represents this duality of art and also references the duality of man. Things appear to be far more complex than what first meets the eye. Whether you first notice the figurative shadow or the abstract wood piles, there is always the other to view second as its other half.
