As a metropolis ultimately influenced by universal globalization processes, Lagos is a mélange of new and old, modern and archaic, first and third world. With an archival intent, he has recorded sounds at s...
Nonotak Studio, gathering Takami NAKAMOTO and Noémi SCHIPFER, is a Paris-based artistic collective. Their latest installation ISOTOPES v0.02, took place at the Mapping Festival 2013 in Geneva last week.

Whether it’s videos or online pieces, small applications or sound installations, the artworks of Grégory Chatonsky are committed to revealing what we don’t see, or what we no longer see, to capture the traces and dig out the rhizomes, all the while being anchored in reality, in urban and human geography… Image, still or animated, and flow (technological, corporal or physical)...

3D rendering of real objects is called “in volume”: height, width and depth. 2D geometric model projection is the plan for the physical 3D. Location in n-dimensional space. Space is Euclidean. 2D is an application itself which controls the complexity of 3D images. Cartography is a physical image manipulation technology using instruments derived from 2D projection devices. Print technology and representation in the plan - artistic and scientific - refer to 2D rendering methods. 2D image is a mapping of reality. Computer graphics. Representation and management image.

That media art has its place in public space is no longer subject to debate. Its various forms...
Quiet Ensemble is an Italian creative collective part of the Digitalarti community. Their work is mainly focused on turning little animals behavior into aesthetic compositions. Their new creation is simply a light chasing snails, putting an emphasize on their slow speed, their random tracks and making unexpected drawings appear. These animals, not a symbol of elegance, suddenly provide a poetic and marvellous moment.
At the end of each day, the snails have completed a whole new light-pa...
