Creating an intrigue shared among the laboratory, the university, the studio, and society, publicly addressing the questions that arise via artistic interventions or the scientific imagination, testing the effects of a prototype through artistic works, is to act beyond cultural boundaries.
Prototypes by Michael Jarrell meet the language of Heiner Müller, by Sarkis who reintroduces the idea of randomness lost in Roaratorio by Cage. Jonathan Harvey's prototype and dream of a talking orchestra, Gérard Pesson's theatre of lights and a "sensation keyboard", a monumental first for Tristan Murail combining an orchestra with virtual and real choruses.
The enigmatic nature that belongs to the artistic prototype, detected by Proust in Vinteuil's septet, to be an "enduring new thing".

The continental drift theory was advanced by the German meteorologist Alfred Wegener in 1912. Based on previous observations (from Abraham Ortelius, Alexander von Humboldt and others) he stated that around 250-200 million years ago Earth was one continent that became divided at some later point, giving birth to the continents familiar to us today. It was only in the 1960s that research on tectonic plates m...

From 17th December on and for 3 months, a monumental art installation by Stéfane Perraud lights up the historical rosette of the Paris Gare de l'Est train station. The light animation reacts to the passengers arrivals and departures. This artwork was tailor made for an artistic call to tender of the national railroad company (SNCF). The selection and production of the artwork were managed by Digitalarti.
Visible at day and at night, off the train and on the street, its glitter...

Artiste déjà remarqué sur la scène numérique, Hugo Arcier développe dans cette exposition un scénario qui conduit le spectateur à s’interroger sur la réalité à travers des thèmes universels et métaphysiques tels que la vie, la mort, le temps qui passe…
"An Instrument for the Sonification of Everday Things" is a very basic name for a very clever and poetic piece made by Dennis P Paul. Following the classic idea of finding artistic tools and creative meanings in everyday objects, he came up with his installation he describes perfectly :
"This is a serious musical instrument. It rotates everyday things, scans their surfaces, and transforms them into audible frequencies. A variety of everyday objects can be mounted into the ...
Born in 1968, Javier Pérez has already exhibited his artworks in several countries across Europe. One of its latest creations, Time Carrousel, took place in Salzburg on the occasion of the Music Festival 2012. This kinetic installation makes 32 pairs of shoes dance in a classic way. A male pair of shoes dances with a female one, drawing small circles ending up in a large circle around an old gramophone. A couple of more mordern and fancy pairs of shoes dances above the gramophone, as if...
We already spotted Jayson Haebich for some of his former creations, which often involve laser and interaction. This Australian artist has recently presented a clever way to track somebody's moves interacting with a laser thanks to fog and a well-used Kinect.
He has now turned it into a complete installation, "PHOTON", allowing the audience to play as if the lasers where the strings of an instrument. Moreover, this is not only a technical achievement but also a visual one.

The research of Quiet ensemble goes through the observation of the ballance between chaos and control, nature and technology, creating subjects that perfectly merges the those elements, elements that take form from the relation of organic and artificial subjects, moving the attention to insignificant and wonderful elements, like the movement of a fly or the sound of trees.
The interest is connected to those technologies that explores the aesthetic and conceptual possibilities derivin...

In my recent work I have concerned myself not only with the sculpting of three dimensions but also with a fourth: the dimension of time. I have attempted to create work that falls somewhere between conventional notions of pictorial art and performance. “Arabesque” is the natural continuation of this exploration – a real time animation.
With its roots in Mary Shelly’s “Frankenstein” and the alchemist’s laboratory, the installation presents itself as a mechanical flower: a simulacrum of nature. Life sized human body parts, impaled upon steel, move and sway and dance. The limbs, translucent and livid, bare their internal robotic mechanisms to the gaze of the viewer. The wiring itself is an aesthetic expression deliberately integrated into the installation to bring chaotic lines of abstract form to contrast with the organized symmetry of the body parts.
The lifeblood of this organism is air and when activated this air flows invisibly, bestowing movement to these mechanisms and its presence is only betrayed when exhaled loudly from the valves attached to the serpentine air hose. This combined with the rattle of relays and the tandem clattering of pistons to produce a hyper-modern accompaniment to the music of Strauss.
Part cinema, part theatre, “Arabesque” can be viewed form a multitude of angles, revealing a kaleidoscope of beautiful shapes and patterns created from the human form.

Call to artists: the Tech Museum seeks to commission a unique, long-term, art and technology-based installation. Piece will open with the Zero1 Biennial in September 2012.
The installation should have an “art and technology” emphasis and ideally be described as embodied, interactive, sociable, and tangible. Piece should be relevant to The Tech Museum’s mission to “inspire the innovator in everyone”.
You have until Monday, April 9, 2012 to send your project.

Back to work and back to CORE in what promises to be one of the most exciting years ever for the Ironbridge Gorge Museum.
With just 11 and a half weeks until the launch of CORE there is a lot to do and not a lot of time to do it in! This month will, as I previously blogged, see the technicalities behind the venue of CORE (a wonderful Victorian Engine Shop) being thrashed out to ensure that the space is properly blacked-out and the inter-linked projections will all be able to work.
