Maxime Guyon & Benoît Jeannet

Guyons’ still life photography is his strongest and most explored work, where graphics, media art, and digital manipulation are all amalgamated to create striking and realised pieces. Evidentially each aspect of his work is measured and deliberate– that’s not to say though that spontaneity isn’t an element of his process.

Avactor (A.I.)

FILE FESTIVAL
Thus, we could define computers not only as object-machines for the use of natural subjectivity, but also as machines of artificial subjectivity, in such way that the subject- machines would operate the object-machines, the same happening for automata, robots and digital avatars. However, we observe the need of another element, whose absence prevents artificial subjectivity’s manifestation. In the present moment, rather than an artificial ego or an artificial conscience, in a structuralizing sense, it must have, in a tactical sense, a persona or a personality, in sum, an actor. Without that persona, artificial subjectivity becomes a mere landscape, lacking subjective referential; without that actor, there is not empathy between artificial subjectivity and natural subjectivity. We call that artificial personality: the Avactor.

UK Pavilion at the Astana Expo 2017
At the heart of the UK pavilion is a stunning 60 metre panorama depicting a living, universal landscape generated entirely by computer. It captures the relationship between the Sun, the Earth and its climate in incredible detail through virtual day and night. At a stunning 40,000 pixels wide it is the largest project of its kind ever undertaken.

Transient Materialization
Created by Shih-Yuan Wang, Yu-Ting Sheng, Dr. Alex Barchiesi and Vyacheslav Kryvosheya with guidance from Prof. Jeffrey Huang at the Media and Design Laboratory LDM, EPFL / SINLAB, Transient Materialization explores the relationship between digital and material-based digital fabrication through n-hedron structure composed mainly of soap foam that is blown, through a mixture of air and helium, into a foam structure.The project questions structure’s materiality and examines its physical performance and ephemeral characteristics. In the first phase of the project the team achieved a programmable foam structure and presented various configurations of dynamic and transformable foam structures. The fabrication interacts with the algorithm, which involves a mixture of air and helium (controlled by pneumatic valves) and additive chemical substances and thickening agents.The aim of the project is to take architecture beyond the creation of static forms and into the design of dynamic, transformable and ephemeral material experimental processes.

ROBERT MORRIS

Untitled’ 1965
“Morris’ work concerns the relation of what we see to what we know. He sometimes described his practice of this period as a series of ‘investigations,’ a term that implies an almost scientific purpose. Yet the work possesses other implications. For example, Morris spoke of his progress as having been framed by philosophical doubt. In this sense, he saw his work as propositional in nature, each object representing an experiment, a ‘what-if’ proposition”.Bernard Ceysson

Love Disorder
​Love Disorder is a one-room interactive environment, in which a video character talks to visitors and responds emotionally to their movements in the space. When you enter, you see a twelve-foot-high face on a video screen at the far end of the room. The face says: “I’ve been waiting for you” – or one of several other greetings. He’ll continue talking to you if you don’t move, but the emotional tone of what he says will change as you step closer to the screen – or turn away. This manipulative character uses a gamut of emotional ploys to stimulate your movement within the space. He knows if you’re coming or going, and the range of his response is varied and complex enough that most people find themselves interacting, as if directly addressed.

snowballing doorway
Situées dans une ouverture existante d’une porte à enroulement, deux formes de même taille font circuler l’air tout au long de la journée. Au fur et à mesure qu’un arc se gonfle, l’autre s’effondre et l’air pour remplir l’arc d’engorgement est aspiré de l’autre. Les deux arches sont dans une orientation en miroir, les participants peuvent passer à travers l’arche inférieure jusqu’à ce qu’elle devienne volatile et l’arche supérieure inversée commence à déplacer son homologue.

Metamembrana

 

A projeção representa uma paisagem em que num único panorama somam-se quatro projeções na horizontal em uma proporção de 16/3. Inspirado nos retábulos dos mestres flamengos Hyeronimus Bosch e Pieter Bruegel, a paisagem reproduz colinas, cidades, céus, mares e uma grande quantidade de situações protagonizadas por diferentes personagens. Não se trata de uma situação estática como daquelas pinturas, mas sim de uma colagem animada e variável vinculando o comportamento interativo das interfaces. A projeção dispõe de diferentes estados ou camadas, até sete, que resultam em uma grande diversidade interativa. As interfaces ou dispositivos sensíveis são ativados pelos espectadores que se convertem em usuários da instalação tanto no âmbito local como no resto das cidades. A interação também se produz por outros parâmetros, como o clima ou certos comportamentos sociais. Metamembrana tem uma clara vontade de estabelecer elementos de identificação com o espectador para fazê-lo participar da obra. Estão previstas três estratégias para consegui-lo: a primeira, previamente, mediante a produção de conteúdos in situ, em cada uma das cidades, com entidades e elementos próprios do lugar. A segunda, durante a exposição inserindo imagens dinâmicas como, por exemplo, câmeras conectadas a vários pontos da cidade ou capturas das faces de alguns espectadores. E a terceira, de maneira pontual, produzindo elementos ao vivo em cada uma das cidades que se retransmitem pela rede durante o período de exibição da peça.

Flip Flop Floor

Работа Мэдса Линнерупа часто происходит вне студии и включает в себя социальное взаимодействие или взаимодействие с аудиторией прямо или косвенно. Посредством перформанса, видео и инсталляций он исследует и экспериментирует с определением того, что может быть искусство, и как искусство может выйти за пределы четырех стен галереи или музея. В последнее время Lynnerup создает объекты, которые можно использовать для полноценной тренировки, превращая выставки в тренажерный зал. Его работы выставлялись в Художественном музее Сан-Франциско, MoMA PS.1, Художественном музее Мори (Токио), и он был удостоен стипендий Тоби Девана Льюиса, стипендии Eureka и премии Artadia.

Music Automats
‘Music Automats’ est une installation sonore robotique autonome. La pièce est composée de plusieurs instruments robotiques, construits à partir d’instruments acoustiques, d’objets du quotidien, de moteurs, de composants électroniques, de pièces en bois et en métal. Des LED sur les instruments visualisent le son. Le résultat est un monde sonore futuriste entièrement automatisé qui est également visuellement unique en raison des instruments et des robots auto-construits. L’œuvre explore la co-évolution de l’homme et de la machine, un avenir dans lequel nous nous trouvons déjà.

Temporary Immersive Environment Experiments

Temporary Immersive Environment Experiments’ is a research on audio/visual installations by using the state called immersion which is the state of consciousness where an immersant’s awareness of physical self is transformed by being surrounded in an engrossing environment; often artificial, creating a perception of presence in a non-physical world.
In this particular edition, the poetics of light bending is explored. Inspired by Issac Newton’s experiments with light, this installation bends laser light in unpredictable angles to create a architectural light + sound scape. ‘Liminality’ is chosen as a concept in this project,a radical effort to deconstruct the framework of this illusory space and transgress the normal boundaries of the viewing experience to set out to transform the conventional flat cinema projection screen into a three dimensional kinetic and architectonic space of visualisation.

Lasermice
“Lasermice” is a swarm robotic installation that consists of 60 small robots, which inspired by synchronous behavior from insects like fireflies. Normally network of swarm is invisible, But in this case those robots creates visible network via laser light – photodetector communication. As a result, they generates rythme that continuously changing. The generated rhythm is made audible by solenoid which strikes floor. Combination of visible network and audible rhythm are deployed spatially.
