«The Air is Full of Voices» (1982) This installation features three suspended satellites, each assembled from a speaker, a white noise generator, and a mini amplifier, all loaded with salt, colored magenta, blue, and yellow respectively, representing the primary colors. These satellites orbit 10 feet above a human figure on the floor, which is hardwired to a walkie-talkie set to capture signals from any walkie-talkie users who might happen to pass by, a rare and unlikely event. The electronic components were sourced from Canal Street's surplus shops. The white noise generates a sense of scrambled voices, and its vibrations cause the salt crystals to drizzle onto the human figure below. Made from wet blotting paper, the figure absorbs the salt, and the pure colors dissolve, merging into an earthy mix. «The Air is Full of Voices» embodies a vision of a future where wireless communication is ubiquitous, at the time met with skepticism. I remember a critic who, despite appreciating it, confidently asserted that telephones would always rely on landlines.

A team has rescued the old metal tables at ETH Hönggerberg and created a temporary installation at gta exhibitions. The finissage takes place on 25 June 2024 at 18:00. T.T.T.T. Photo and installation by Steffen Hägele, Jacob Höppner, Matthew Phillips, Nelly Pilz T.T.T.T. decouples artistic action from the self, transferring it to the physicality of objects. Forms are composed through the effects of gravity, material properties of industrial elements and tectonic failure. Living with complexity means enduring unknowability and uncontrollability. Art helps us to accept that more is visible than can be depicted with language. What appears chaotic to conceptual thinking is accessible to the eye as order from matter, from reality. In T.T.T.T. the viewers have to ask themselves: What is real anyway? Through the density of the table screens and the constructive failure by chance, the work is dealing with the uncontrollable within the confines of the gta exhibition space. The work seeks abstraction in order to return to the concrete image via the figure. It sets things in motion that take place in the mind of the observer, develop a law of their own there, and then penetrate the space and the course of one's behavior in a new way. https://lnkd.in/e_EvGzsv

Focus on 2023 project ! Pulse by Filip Roca is an audio-visual projection mapping artwork that explores time and perception for silbersalz festival organized by Documentary Campus in Halle / Germany Time is not a linear concept but a rhythmic, pulsating force that weaves through the fabric of existence. Paradoxically, it guides life forward into the unknown future and backward into decay. Its uniqueness lies in the idea that the only tangible reality is the present moment.This creation, on display at Silbersalz 2023, delves into the zeitgeist. It presents time as an ever-evolving force, continually generating diverse forms as it unfolds. Set against the backdrop of Marienkirche, artwork emphasizes the shift in our perception of reality. Sound plays a pivotal role in Roca’s art, and his collaboration with Zarko Komar has yielded a distinctive approach to sound. Production/Curation by Arnaud Doucet / Anima Lux Curator: Irem Couchouron Technical director: Alex Banze Thanks to @esmero.de for the footage More infos on the project here : https://lnkd.in/d3khw6kR #newart #mixedmediaart #newmediaart #newmedia #newcontemporaryart #mediaart #multimediaart #mixedmediaartwork #mediaart #experientialart #digitalsculpture #artinstallation #mixedreality #innovativeart #interactiveart #computergenerated #installationart #contemporaryart #artcontemporary #computerdriven #digitalart

One of the often underestimated aspects of the care and presentation of works of art is lighting. Inappropriate light can have devastating effects on sensitive materials, accelerating deterioration and compromising the longevity of the works. 🔆 Prolonged exposure to bright lights can cause fading, especially on painted works or on materials such as paper and fabrics. Likewise, ultraviolet light, often present in some light sources, can induce chemical reactions that irreparably damage the works. 🔍 So, how can we protect these precious creations? 1. Choose light sources with low UV emission. The adoption of specific LEDs for museum environments can be an effective solution. 2. Adjust the light intensity. Not all works require the same level of lighting. Adjusting the light based on the sensitivity of the material can make a big difference. 3. Use UV filters on windows and skylights to reduce exposure to direct sunlight. 4. Monitor and rotate. Limit the duration of exhibition of particularly sensitive works and consider periodic rotation. We always remember that lighting not only serves to highlight the beauty of the works, but also to preserve them for future generations. With a thoughtful lighting strategy, we can ensure that art continues to brighten our lives for many years to come. #Saliot #SaliotLighting #MuseumLighting #ArtLighting hashtag#Museums #ProtectionWorksofArt #LightANDArt #LEDTechnology #MuseumSustainability #ArtEScience #CuradellArt

The Particle Wave explores the duality of matter and energy, with many particles suspended in a mesmerizing sine wave dance. It asks the question, "What's pulling the strings of the universe?" Every row is individually motorized, controlled, and synchronized to achieve this unified choreography. Our engineers took inspiration from the hypnotic motion of the Skotch Yoke mechanism, a vintage engineering marvel that was used to drive pistons in steam engines over a century ago. Unlike modern gas pistons, it outputs a perfect sine wave when driven at a constant RPM. The Particle Wave is a symphony of science and art! Come experience it yourself at the Houston Museum of Natural Science Matter & Motion Chemistry Hall. #design #museum #exhibition #architecture #art #science #chemistry #stem #scienceart #duality #sinewave #symphony #gymnopedie #custom #fabrication #interiordesign #painting #lighting #engineering #sculpting #metalworking #manufacturing #building #construction #artist #houston #texas #usa #madeinusa #madeinamerica

We are fascinated by the use of light as a material. This inspirational light art installation was created by Studio Sven Sauer, in collaboration with creative coder Markus Graf. 'Solis' as it is called, is an exploration of how colors of a sunset are created by removing light waves. Sven Sauer creates this phenomenon using filters. 📍Exhibited at 180 Studios All the filters are colorless and transparent, just like our atmosphere. But by shifting the angles, imperfections arise that block parts of the light. This leads to complex interactions of light interference effects which initially cause colourful patterns and then leads to complete darkness. The search to recreate the magical spectacle of a sunset continues... This type of work made by the most talented explorers, inspires us here at Ultra V to continuously develop the art of illusions; spatial experiences that provide temporary alternative realities. #artinstallation #lightart #light

“I do not want to make a painting; I want to open up space, create a new dimension, tie in the cosmos, as it endlessly expands beyond the confining plane of the picture.” - Lucio Fontana, Manifiesto Blanco, 1947 /Spatial (“slash-spatial”) is an exhibition that considers the emergence of #SpatialComputing through the reinterpretation of seminal works by the original Spatialist, Lucio Fontana. Fourteen artists curated by Bay Backner engage with Fontana's legacy by selecting works to reinterpret in the context of Spatial Computing, and each artist's creation is a personal response. They translate Fontana's Spatial Concept into three-dimensional digital spaces where the boundaries between the virtual and the material are increasingly blurred. The resulting exhibition is based firmly in the Extended Reality (XR) file format of .glb, as the artists search for digital media that cuts across all opening dimensions. More info in the comments ⏬

“Luminex is a radical act of urban transformation, cultural access, community building and artistic expression. Amidst a city characterized by earthquakes and ever-changing architecture, each installation serves to skew the perception of our world and our position within it. From surrealistic performance, absurdism, fragility, abstractions of nature to voyeuristic glimpses into a futuristic dystopian Los Angeles, these media based works captivate viewers by reframing our actions, and destinations. The intersecting concept between artworks exists in how they frame and explore landscapes of nature, society and of the mind. Can we recreate our environment, our perception of the world, and ultimately ourselves? The answer lies in our ability to connect, understand, and inspire one another through the transformative power of art. Staged at architectural scale, ‘Landscape Frequencies’ destabilizes the status quo while offering an invitation by recognized cutting edge artists of Los Angeles to immerse yourself in their world. In my recent conversations with individuals whose lives have been touched by art, a harmonized frequency emerges—a true essential vibration of humanity. Our state of perpetual transition and echoes of instability from these past years shape our contemporary collective human experience. We pause during this ephemeral one night exhibition to ignite a ripple of possibility. How can we, as individuals, match this impact?” Read our full curatorial statement for LUMINEX 3.0 on our website at luminexla.com/about, and RSVP here: https://lnkd.in/g-Pj4cXM Artwork by Akiko Yamashita, LUMINEX 2.0 #luminex #nxtart #nowart #luminex2024 #luminexla #nowartla #artandtechnology #southparkbid #immersiveartworks #outdoorexhibition #liveperformances #dtla #downtownla #responsiveartworks #videoprojections #projections #digitalartists #digitalart #artexhibition #onenightonly #immersiveexperience
