Interview: DAAN ROOSEGAARDE

Walls of “intelligent” aluminum flowers, digital plants that light up and react to passers-by, “wired” clothing… The works of Dutch artist Daan Roosegaarde convey a strange synergy between technology and humanity, with a backdrop of organic architectural poetry. Interview with the creator. Daan, your tactile and high-tech projects initiate interesting encounters between the city, nature and people—in particular the Dune series, which you first developed in...

PANORAMA - the fourteenth

Le Fresnoy, or the National Studio of Contemporary Arts, is structured around a school directed by an artist, Alain Fleischer, who invites others to train still others. This year, the curator of the exhibition, Benjamin Weil, whose international experience is well known, took up the challenge of revealing a common meaning in more than fifty artistic proposals ranging from performance to film through installations and apparatus. Warding off bad luck It is said of ships that, “if they ha...

DIGITAL ART IN NEW YORK

STROLLING THROUGH NEW YORK CITY’S DIGITAL ARTS In the digital age, everything is fusion: art and media, technology and gaming, experiences and spaces, installations and urban architecture. Take a digitally artistic, historical and geographical stroll through New York City to see the sparks. (All the places are located on a map at the end of the article) Let’s start from the beginning of the history of “technological arts”: the moving image. Established in Queens in ...

Interview With Tehos

#
 INTERVIEW WITH TEHOS Why did you choose art to express yourself? This is a natural way to express my thoughts and my feelings. The field is wider (I think) with speech, limited by the words, certain emotions have difficulty beings transcribed language, it’s easier for me with pictures, with a mink. Since when do you paint? Since forever, but it is 40 years since I decided to stop everything and devote myself fully, I did not want to risk getting to the end of my life telling me t...

1024 ARCHITECTURE, "Mad Mappers" of space

  When the architecture world was still using 2D and 3D animation techniquesto represent their projects, Pierre Schneider and François Wunschel were busy reappropriating them for design and analysis, until the moving image itself became their sculptable raw material. Coming from a generation for whom associating ephemeral with perennial is no longer a paradox, these two ex-members of the collective eXYZt—E for energy, T for time—have hardcoded into their DNA the immersi...

CHRISTIAN ZANÉSI & JÉRÔME SOUDAN crosstalk

Geneva and Paris are now linked by a high-voltage acousmatic cable. The Présences électronique festival, created in 2005 by Christian Zanési, artistic director of Groupe de Recherches Musicales (GRM), has been resonating in Geneva since 2010 thanks to Jérôme Soudan, an artist known as Mimetic and co-curator of the Electron festival. These two conveyors of sound ideas engage in friendly crosstalk. How did this experience of bringing Paris and Geneva closer tog...

DON FORESTA, An American from Paris…

It would be misleading to try to describe Don Foresta’s career in so little space, as the itinerary of this American diplomat, who has become one of the major artist researchers of the international art world, is a relentless series of connections throughout the world, the arts and the sciences. Indeed, it would be misleading to tell the story of Don, this young man who arrived in Paris in June 1971 to assume the position of cultural advisor at the American Embassy. Fortunately for us, ...

ADELIN SCHWEITZER, augmented reality

Adelin Schweitzer, an artist from Marseille, is currently collaborating with art centres such as the Zinc / Friche Belle de Mai or Seconde Nature in Aix. Since 2008, the greater part of his work has been devoted to principles of augmented reality, especially through the evolving project named A-Reality, whose upgraded version was presented only last October in Dresden. Since his early devices, including VidéoPuncher 1.3, (presented a few years ago at the ARCO biennial of contemporary a...

BIANCHINI, on the qui vive ! We have yet to appreciate the true value of shared networks.

With two galleries, two exhibitions and four installations, French artist-researcher Samuel Bianchini pursues his experiments with viewers at work, exploring and challenging our senses. Bianchini surprised us in Rennes by exhibiting the result of an original collaboration with two Breton university departments. By “refurbishing” three of his interactive works at a gallery in Paris (2), the young artist is claiming his place in an art market wary of technology and interactivity. Th...

ROBERT STADLER AND MATHIEU LEHANNEUR, two designers apprehend time and intimacy in the age of change

When in December, the Carpenters Workshop Gallery based in London opened its doors on Rue de la Verrerie in Paris, in one of the oldest, most prestigious French art galleries, it dedicated a months-long solo exhibition to the designer Robert Stadler and conspicuously placed among objects with more explicit functions Mathieu Lehanneur’s mysterious piece Demain est un autre jour (Tomorrow is another day). The designers took different paths following their training in industrial design at ...

INTERACTIVE MECHANISMS, space according to EDWIN VAN DER HEIDE

The Dutch artist and researcher Edwin van der Heide explores the combinatory fields of sound, light and spatiality. His interactive approach often places the viewer at the heart of his work to actively explore installations whose dimensions are just as voluminous as they are volumetric. Interview with the artist. Edwin, your new piece, Sound Modulated Light 3, will be presented from March to August at the ZKM in Karlsruhe. It’s the latest in a series of works that was initiated a few ye...
