- Yesterday Interactivos? workshop: Immodesty multicam system
- Back to the latest Interactivos? at Medialab Prado in Madrid. Subtitled Vision Play, this edition offered artists and other creative people the opportunity to create prototypes for exploring image technologies and mechanisms of perception, using open hardware and open code tools.
When it comes to exploring image technologies in a striking and poetical way, i'd say that Karolina Sobeka is certainly one of the most talented artists i've ever met. A couple of years ago, she developed the mesmeriz... (more)

- While in London i went to see a few photography exhibitions. And yes! i realize i wrote a couple of days ago that i'd focus on the RCA show this week but i can't keep that promise, i'm starting to bore myself. Now one of those photo shows is called freshfacedandwildeyed and it marks the launch of an annual exhibition presenting the most striking work by visual arts graduates from BA and MA courses across the UK. There were 25 photographers selected. Some of them had all my attention:

- London Biotopes: Exploring potential City - Body ecologies
- The largest part of the pharmaceuticals and chemicals we take go through our bodies and eventually end up in waste water. As water and waste treatment plants haven't been designed to filter them, the content of our medicine cabinets are eventually passed into the water supply. In London, tap water comes from surface water which implies that traces of our medicine can end up in our drinking water. This results in local differences in tap water, based on the food and drugs we ingest.

- Signs of Life
- Funniest project seen at the RCA show. You won't need my explanation, just have a look at the video:
Signs of Life was created by Freddie Yauner (of the highest popping toaster in the world fame) a graduate of the Design Products department, Platform 11 . Because it was exhibited where you'd expect to see an emergency exit sign i did believe that it was a real one for a moment.

Revital Cohen's final project at the Design Interactions department looked at how cross-breeding man with machines or other species can open up new design opportunities and a space for debate (see her previous project the Telepre... (more)

Steve Lambert's Add Art project (a 2008 Rhizome Commission co-developed with the artist's colleagues in the Eyebeam R&D lab) offers home-delivery art exhibitions in the form of your Firefox browser window. Internet users who download Lambert's free open source plug-in will see an aesthetic overhaul in the sites they visit, as advertisements are replaced by visual art created or curated by a different guest, every two weeks. The project is a perfect outgrowth of Lambert's involvement with the An... (more)

- 3 days Rhizome News: The Quiet Storm
-
Understated, conceptual gestures predominate in "Quiet Politics," a timely group exhibition currently on display at New York's Zwirner & Wirth. Felix Gonzalez-Torres' single string of lights "Untitled" (for New York) (1992) hangs from the ceiling of the front room and ends, in a tangle, on the floor: an arrangement, at once elegant and casual, that the artist relinquishes to the person installing the work. Lining the gallery hallway are photograms from Lisa Oppenheim's series Multicultur... (more)

Initially, Elliott Malkin's new work, Graffiti for Butterflies, reads like a science fair project. One can just see the riveting subtitle, "Directing monarch butterflies to urban food sources along migratory routes in North America" taped-up in bold letters across the top of a trifold sign affixed with statistical charts and photographic evidence. In truth, this mostly internet-based project is a perfect spoof of the recent spate of R&D art experiments that saturate the web, performing rath... (more)

Why are new media artists so cool? Because they get to play with toys like spectroheliostats. What's a spectroheliostat? Google won't say, but it's probably some color spectrum device related to the heliostat, which uses a giant mirror to track the motion of the sun. Talk about painting with light... On July 5th, this device will be used in Solar Hills, a collaborative installation by British artist Liliane Lijn and Berkeley-based astrophysicist John Vallerga. Stationing themselves in the ...

In the context of the group show "Word Event"; at Kunsthalle Basel, artist André Avelãs installed his sound-installation "Untitled (Kunsthalle Basel)" consisting of used loudspeakers, amplifiers, record players and mixing consoles. The installation has been set up in different venues already, the first time in 2005 -- "Untitled (Rietveld)" -- and since then always changes a little bit. This video documents AAndré Avelãs performance on the occasion of the opening of t... (more)

TODAY is a piece of generative design for mobile phones.
It's an application that visualizes personal mobile communication. It sits on the periphery of the machine, monitoring our connectivity through the number and type of calls we receive, subtly displaying them back to us, in the form of a generative graphic. Here, the visual result is a figurative and seemingly abstract picture -- the story of your day. Some days will be really colorful and wired, others quieter and more reflective, eithe... (more)
