Moment Factory

Ode à la vie
Sagrada Familia
Um grande desafio criativo e técnico foi realizado recentemente pela Moment Factory. Eles foram convidados pela cidade de Barcelona e a cidade de Montreal para criar o primeiro espetáculo de som e luz para ser projetada na complexa fachada da Sagrada Família em Barcelona. Essa apresentação multimídia de 15 minutos de duração, utilizando técnicas de mapeamento de vídeo e seu sistema de reprodução X-Now, foi apresentada dentro de La Mercè Festival em Barcelona neste fim de semana. A inspiração: para realizar o sonho de Antoni Gaudí. O arquiteto desejava que a fachada fosse cheia de cores.

Supermajor
In Supermajor, a rack of vintage oil cans sits innocuously on the gallery floor. A punctured can, located somewhere mid-stack, has sprung a leak. The oil flows out in a steady trickle, cascading onto the pedestal below; a golden-brown pool forms at its base. Upon closer inspection, however, the oil is not originating from the can. Instead, its stream is reversed. Drop-by-drop the oil flows upwards, defying gravity. At times, droplets even appear to hover in mid-air. Returning to its source, the upward ascent of oil continues uninterrupted as if neither the can’s reserves of the nor the puddle’s can ever be depleted.

MAREK TOMASIK

Czasem trzeba się otworzyć

A collection of decades worth of hundreds of computers and other electronics, Tomasik’s installation takes on a new life that also harks back to an age-old favorite: Tron. A collection of decades worth of hundreds of computers and other electronics, Tomasik’s installation takes on a new life that also harks back to an age-old favorite: Tron. The walls of the sculpture are a veritable what’s what of the computer-age, and are sure to evoke a sense of nostalgia, even within the most cutting-edge, unwavering gadget geek.

Aerocene
In the desert of New Mexico, artist Tomás Saraceno realized the very first human flight in a zero carbon solar-powered hot air balloon, propelled by Studio Tomás Saraceno and curated by Rob La Frenais. For three hours without touching the ground, the balloon rose into the air without the usual burner, its black fabric heated by the sun and the infrared rays reflected by the white dunes.

DAITO MANABE

真鍋 大 度

One of the new technology projects from the programmer and artist Daito Manabe based in Tokyo, Japan, centres on experimental music performances and connects a person’s face to electric sensors. This innovative system lets you ‘play’ your face like a musical instrument with the help of facial movements that trigger sounds. Electrical stimulation makes a face twitch involuntary, each twitch matches the beat of the music.

Benedetto Bufalino

LABY-FOOT

As part of the 1 + 1 biennial, organised jointly by the Casino Luxembourg and the Fonds Kirchberg, the artist Benedetto Bufalino (born in 1982 in Décines; lives and works in Paris) was invited to submit a work for the plant labyrinth of the Kirchberg Central Park. The artist’s approach consists of investing urban space, playing with the architecture of given places and offering, with his funny or poetic installations, an offbeat reinterpretation of reality.
.
L’installation Laby-Foot de l’artiste Benedetto Bufalino se trouve à proximité du Centre National Sportif et Culturel d’Coque à Luxembourg-Kirchberg. Comme son nom l’indique, Laby-Foot est un terrain de football réinventé pour le labyrinthe végétal du parc central du Kirchberg. Ses formes et ses matériaux insolites permettent au public de l’explorer, de participer à des matchs de football et d’en repenser les règles.

our time

Our Time (2016) is the latest large-scale installation by United Visual Artists investigating our subjective experience of the passing of time. How long is a moment? At what rate does time actually pass? The work joins a series of kinetic sculptures that began with Momentum (2013); an installation designed as a ‘spatial instrument’ that was to reveal the relationship between expectation and perception when intersected with a physical space.
Our Time defines a physical environment where pendulums swing at a pace apparently unhindered by the laws of nature and where no single time measurement applies. The installation combines movement, light and sound as a multi-sensory, multi-dimensional canvas the visitor can enter. Pendulums swing, each to their own rhythm, as time flows through the grid. With light tracing the path and sound its echo, the passing of time becomes almost palpable.

Meander 7 / Horizontal velocity vectors from x = 0
Los códigos de computadora que utilizan para crear proyectos de arte generativo, arte de los nuevos medios de comunicación, los proyectos de las disciplinas del diseño, la arquitectura o de otro tipo, pueden encontrarse en territorios que han sido en gran parte sin explorar, en el que el arte y la ciencia se encuentran. Al principio, los agentes están definidas por variables como la posición, la velocidad y los límites (por lo general de un círculo). Cuando empiezan a moverse, ya que el espacio se agota, chocan, rebotan entre sí y de paso cambian la velocidad y el color, generando una espesa red de variaciones cromáticas.

LILLA LOCURTO & BILL OUTCAULT

La marioneta voluntariosa
la marioneta voluntariosa (2014) fue creada por los artistas Lilla LoCurto y Bill Outcault durante una residencia en la Universidad de Carolina del Norte en Charlotte, trabajando con la Facultad de Computación e Informática y la Facultad de Arte y Arquitectura. La marioneta está impresa en 3D a partir de la imagen escaneada de una figura humana y responde de manera atractiva en tiempo real a los gestos humanos espontáneos al leer los movimientos y expresiones de un espectador. Sus cuerdas son manipuladas por motores y software y hay dos sensores de profundidad que leen y analizan los comportamientos y gestos de los participantes. Las acciones posteriores de la marioneta están diseñadas para provocar más respuestas, creando un intercambio que se centra en la fragilidad e inseguridades del participante humano y planteando cuestiones de relevancia contemporánea. La intención del proyecto no era crear tanto un robot que funcionara perfectamente, sino más bien imbuir una marioneta obviamente accionada mecánicamente con la capacidad de solicitar un diálogo físico y emocional con un espectador.

IÑIGO MANGLANO-OVALLE

Иньиго Manglano-Оваллье
Manglano-Ovalles technologisch anspruchsvolle Skulpturen und Videoinstallationen verwenden natürliche Formen wie Wolken, Eisberge und DNA als Metaphern für das Verständnis sozialer Probleme wie Einwanderung, Waffengewalt und menschliches Klonen. In Zusammenarbeit mit Astrophysikern, Meteorologen und medizinischen Ethikern nutzt Manglano-Ovalle außerirdische Funksignale, Wettermuster und biologischen Code und wandelt reine Daten in digitale Videoprojektionen und Skulpturen um, die durch Computer-Rendering realisiert wurden. Seine Strategie, die Natur durch Informationen darzustellen, führt zu einer Untersuchung der zugrunde liegenden Kräfte, die den Planeten formen, sowie der Punkte menschlicher Interaktion und Eingriffe in die Umwelt. Manglano-Ovalle beschäftigt sich mit Schnittpunkten zwischen lokalen und globalen Gemeinschaften und betont die Komplexität von Ökosystemen.
