Betweenness
“Installed in the main gallery is Betweenness (all works 2018), a video montage that sorts the natural world, including a few humans, into simple, line-drawn motion graphics. There’s a frolicsome quality to the animations: when the animals move, grow, shift, and, quite literally, evolve, the scenes appear to follow a playful intuition, rather than exhibiting any scientific fact.”more…

John McCracken’s work embodies a threshold of physical matter and infinite mind/space. In his own words, this ‘character,’ of his work has been indefinable and difficult to write about as an integral whole. Typically referred to as one of the leading West Coast counterparts to the Minimalist regime of Donald Judd, Carl Andre, Robert Morris, Dan Flavin, Sol Lewitt and Robert Bladen, McCracken’s work extends the architecture of Minimalism, complicates the surface of simulated or real machine production, and reflects a mysticism of transcendence.

Solaris
Solaris 2020は、クラゲの花が咲き乱れる壮大な明るい生態系を遮る壁画サイズのLEDカーテンです。ビデオゲームプラットフォームで一般的に使用されているコンピュータプログラムを使用して作成されたこのスクリーニングでは、インドネシアのカリマンタン沖にある11、000年以上前に形成された内陸の塩と雨水の塊である独特の海洋環境のデジタルシミュレーションが提示されます。これらのクラゲ種は捕食者がなく、暖かい水で繁殖することができます。それらは異なって進化し、気候変動が海洋システムに及ぼす可能性のある潜在的な影響を研究するための生きた実験室を科学界に提供しています。

Nemo Observatorium
File Festival

Si on pouvait décrire Nemo Observatorium, on en parlerait comme d’une pièce, une chambre plutôt, qui n’aurait la possibilité d’être visitée que par une ou deux personnes maximum. Dans Nemo Observatorium, le visiteur se place au centre d’un cylindre transparent et appuie sur un bouton. Ce bouton déclenche alors un tourbillon qui fait voltiger à très haute vitesse des petites bulles de polystyrène qui se déplacent trop rapidement pour être suivies par l’œil humain. La personne située à l’intérieur décide de la durée de la tornade ( tornado ). La tornade fonctionne à partir de 5 gros ventilateurs. Un situé en dessous du spectateur et 4 autres autour du cylindre.

يعمل هذا الفنان المولود في سيول والراسخ بمنحوتات بصرية عالية تحد أحيانًا الخط الفاصل بين النحت والآلة. في العديد منهم يبحث في إمكانيات الصوت ويحوله إلى فن. يصف الفنان الكوري الجنوبي عمله بأنه “خيال مبني ، وخيال عن الرغبة ، وخيال من عصرنا”. يقول بيونغو كيم أن “الإنسانية في بحث دائم عن رغبات جديدة” وهذا انعكاس جيد يمكنه أيضًا تحديد عمله بشكل مثالي.

Ways of Water – A Love Potion for Nature
Alexandra Zierle and Paul Carter’s collaborative work is interdisciplinary, multi-sensory and site and context responsive spanning performance, happenings, interventions, sound, video and installation. Through their practice, Zierle & Carter critically examine different modes of communication and what it means to be human both as individuals and as a ‘collective entity’. Their work addresses notions of belonging, cultural identity, the dynamics within relationships, harmony through conflict and the transformation of limitations.

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.

Halo
In these six animated paintings presented as a single channel video, the artist reenacts situations and motifs from the first-person shooter series Halo and the erotic videogame Dream Stripper. Conceived as a dynamic, virtual collage, HALO shows short stock animation loops of characters dying over and over, with koi, dining chairs, asteroids, guns, flowers, torches, pinball machines, candles, and discarded pillows floating around them, creating a hypnotic motion.

Ingress uses the mobile device GPS to locate and interact with “portals” that are in proximity to the player’s real-world location. The portals are physical points of interest where “human creativity and ingenuity is expressed,” often manifesting as public art such as statues and monuments, unique architecture, outdoor murals, historic buildings, local community hubs and other displays of human achievement. The game uses the portals as elements of a science fiction backstory along with a continuous open narrative provided through various forms of media.

“Dimitriadis examined the “remember to forget” principle in the front of the mirror turned back to the viewer. According to Freud, memory-traces have nothing to do with the fact of becoming conscious, “indeed they are often most powerful and most enduring when the process which left them behind was one which never entered consciousness””Barbara Piwowarska

Digital Origami: Exploring Procedural Animation – Brazil

This workshop introduces procedural animation, a technique that uses mathematical parameters to create automated movements. Using the free version of Houdini software, participants will learn how to digitally assemble and animate origami, exploring the software’s features to simulate movements and behaviors. The creative possibilities of this approach will also be discussed, highlighting applications in animation, generative design, and visual effects.

Mesa de chá de efeito cascata
“Mesa de chá de efeito cascata” de Jeonghwa Seo & Hanna Chung é uma demonstração de como o design pode refletir diferenças culturais e sensibilidade. Dada a importante influência da globalização sobre todos nós, o efeito cascata é uma representação física de como uma pequena mudança pode afetar o quadro geral, uma crença mantida pelos povos asiáticos. Coloque uma xícara na superfície da água da mesa e as ondulações se formam e se expandem conforme toda a superfície é afetada.

小故障艺术是一种新类型，如今在数字艺术时代越来越受欢迎。 故障肯定是我们许多人一生中至少经历过的一次，您被技术所包围。 这是系统中的暂时性故障，会产生失真的图像。 根据有关毛刺艺术的简短介绍的伊曼·莫拉迪（Iman Moradi）的定义，毛刺艺术有两种类型。 一种是“纯毛刺”，它是随机，真实和适当制作的。 Szauder的作品在哪里归类为“小故障”，因为这些作品是经过计划和设计的，因此它们是人造的。

The handmade, digital and animated collages of French artist Matthieu Bourel, currently living and working in Berlin, are based on the power of images and the diversions resulting from various visual combinations. He defines his work as ‘data-ism’, and when mixing elements, he often seeks to evoke a story that, although absent from the known reality, is powerfully present before the viewer and inspires ‘nostalgia for a period in time that never truly existed’.

Anarchitecture

splitting house

“Of the many shows at the fabled 112 Greene Street gallery—an artistic epicenter of New York’s downtown scene in the 1970s—the Anarchitecture group show of March 1974 has been the subject of the most enduring discussion, despite a complete lack of documentation about it. Anarchitecture has become a foundational myth, but one that remains to be properly understood. Stemming from a series of meetings organized by Gordon Matta-Clark and reflecting his long-standing interest in architecture, the Anarchitecture exhibition was conceived as an anonymous group statement in photographs about the intersection of art and building. But did it actually happen? It exists only through oblique archival traces and the memories of the participants. Cutting Matta-Clark investigates the Anarchitecture group as a kind of collective research seminar, through extensive interviews with the protagonists and a dossier of all the available evidence. The dossier includes a collection of Matta-Clark’s aphoristic “art cards,” the 96 photographs that were produced by the various participants for possible inclusion in the exhibition, and images from a recently unearthed video of Matta-Clark’s now famous bus trip to see Splitting in Englewood, New Jersey.” Mark Wigley

A Rainbow in Curved Air
Using overdubbing, Riley plays all the instruments on the title track: electric organ, 2 electric harpsichords (a Baldwin electric harpsichord & a RMI Rock-Si-Chord), dumbec, and tambourine. The piece moves through several sections; following the opening theme and introduction of “placid chords,” Riley introduces “an explosion, a procession of right-hand lines that flutter and pirouette over the over the pulsing rhythmic patterns.”

Perigos
Longe do espetáculo da disciplina, Chloé Moglia transformou o trapézio em uma experiência espacial de suspensão. Uma revolução que envolve a reinvenção perpétua dos aparelhos, mas não apaga a dificuldade técnica e física. Chloé Moglia parece ter uma relação ambígua com seu aparato original: o trapézio. Uma relação de amor e ódio transcendida pela questão da suspensão. Para Aléas, o aparelho tem a forma de uma longa corda de aço com trinta metros de comprimento. As três fases do Aleas foram criadas entre junho de 2013 e fevereiro de 2015: Aléa # 1 La Ligne com Chloé Moglia, Aléa # 2 Suspensives com cinco trapezistas e Aléa # 3 Tracé com Chloé Moglia novamente. Em jogo: a intensidade, a violência, a experiência física, os códigos e outros limites da arte da suspensão para um espectáculo tripartido que fala da nossa fragilidade, da nossa condição humana.
