2009, media installationsLive search( total items: 15 ) Shan-Shui-Hua C. Bolewski: Shan-Shui-Hua Proceeding from Chinese thought and aesthetics, the traditional concept of landscape painting Shan-Shui-Hua (mountain-water-painting) is recreated as modern video art. The concept of multi-perspective and the endless scroll are explored through digital filmmaking, video compositing and virtual camera, depths and particle systems. Challenging the Western preoccupation with narrative and distinct meaning, the work contains no complex narration and attempts to be a meditative open artwork. Chinese landscapes usually include small human figures that blend harmoniously into the vast world around them. Man and nature interact and complement each other to reach a state of balance and harmony. Sowjet-Unterzögersdorf/Sektor 2/The Adventure Game Sowjet-Unterzogersdorf/Sektor 2/The A... For years monochrom has been occupied with the construction, analysis and reflexion of alternative worlds and models of recording history. monochrom projects are treating this field partly as a discussion with concepts deriving from popular culture, science and philosophy, partly as a direct reference to science fiction and fantasy fan culture. monochrom’s project Soviet-Unterzögersdorf - The Adventure Game is the implementation of a ‘false reminiscence’ into the Austrian cultural memory - a fictitious country taking the shape of a computer game adventure. The enclave Soviet-Unterzögersdorf, created by Monochrom, is the last remaining USSR republic, situated in the Austrian wine growing area. EC-101, Maribor/Ljubljana, 15h14 Paul Destieu: EC-101, Maribor/Ljublja... The EC-101 projects is an intervention realized in Slovenia by the rail-track joining the city of Maribor to Ljubljana. A shade of coloured napkins was set on 100 meters along the track to create an attack of colours. Time table and reference of the targeted train gave the title to the piece. In this installation, during a short instant, the viewer becomes the witness of a furtive and hyper intense encounter between time and space. LoopLoop Patrick Bergeron: LoopLoop In a train going to Hanoi in Vietnam, the houses boarding the railroad are passing by. Using animation and time shifts this video runs forwards and backwards looking for forgotten details, mimicking the way memories are replayed in the mind. LoopLoop is a video loop. Atlantida Olga Mink, Scanner: Atlantida A work by Olga Mink and Scanner made for the 2nd Biennial of the Canaries 2009. A multi-channel video with immersive sound work, that addresses the themes of silence and landscape with location recordings of each of the seven volcanic islands captured in high detail. Its ten minute duration presents an ethereal sequence of scenes that resonates with the glory of the natural environment. Mink and Scanner captured the idea of silence and human intervention, by creating traces through different areas which adresses the existence of the real and imagined landscapes that they've confronted and readjusted throughout their journey. Kolo Natacha Paganelli: Kolo The video Kolo/Dance spreads a spectacular enchantment which could remind of some minimalist version of the choreographic inventions of the time of Russian Ballet... It makes appear in the style of kaleidoscope, the fiction of one popular vitality stemming from the Nature. Tumbarumba E. Ham, B. Rosenbaum: Tumbarumba Tumbarumba is an add-on for Firefox web browsers. It quietly sits in the background, occasionally inserts a fragment of a story into a webpage that is being viewed. The result is an absurd sentence that is reminiscent of the surrealist exquisite corpse game. If the inserted fragment (we call the fragments 'tumbarumbas') is spotted and clicked upon, the entire story will emerge and eventually take over the page. Our intention is for the reader to not only have the pleasure of finding and reading the stories, but also the momentary disorientation of stumbling upon a nonsensical sentence as well as a heightened awareness of textual absurdities (of which only a fraction will be the result of Tumbarumba).

Realm 1 Part 1 Thomas Mohr: Realm 1 Part 1 In the long-term project Conditions of Existence Thomas Mohr has built a model for (the visualisatia on of) the processing of incoming images: storing, naming, ordering, structuring, experiencing, sedimentation and erosion. It is a (re)construction of memory, built from 266,144 photographs, taken over a period of 4 years, on different levels of being handled. Realm 1 is the product of a first phase in this research. In this case, the source material is a small sample of an exemplary series of photographs (comparable to samples taken from sediment). Realm 1 (Part 1) is an investigation within the framework of the 4:3 aspect ratio (typical for ‘old’ video and photos), the next parts of the work (Realm 1 (Part 2-4)) investigate the 16:9 aspect ratio (used in high definition video). In the beginning the viewer can still distinguish photos in the graphical images, but the whole doesn’t represent a recognisable event or traceable story anymore. PEEL Surabhi Saraf: PEEL Peel is a multi-channel audio-visual installation, it presents a visual echo of the present instance: it takes an unexamined moment and gives it life. The transitional motion of going to the fridge to get an ingredient is stretched into the echo of an unforgettable instant, and what emerges is an examination of the subtlety and hidden beauty of that moment. The mass repetition of small videos magnifies subtle nuances while blurring the whole ensemble into a mass of activity. For instance, the elementariness of simple gestures of a seemingly mundane daily activity (such as those of stirring, or putting hair behind the ear) get morphed into a complex choreography when multiplied. The effect of this process is mirrored in the dense and rich textured sound that emerges from the layering of the audio from the individual videos. Rip in pieces America Dominic Gagnon: Rip in pieces America ‘I was watching video on the Internet and I noticed that certain homemade clips were flagged for their content. As they were disappearing from free hosting sites, I started to save and edit them in a capsule format. Working in a gray zone about copyright, I nevertheless fulfill the authors’ will to contextualize their situation by grouping their videos together and more importantly diffuse / preserve their messages.’ D.G. Pericycle Szacsva y Pal: Pericycle Pericycle is a metaphoric video about a peripheral way of exchange. TumbarumbaE. Ham, B. Rosenbaum: Tumbarumba Tumbarumba je add-on za Firefox web pretraživače. Mirno čuči u pozadini, povremeno ubaci delić priče na stranicu interneta koja se gleda. Rezultat je besmislena rečenica koja podseća na nadrealističku 'exquisite corpse' igru. Ako primetimo ubačeni fragment (ove fragmente zovemo 'tumbarumbe') i kliknemo na njega, pojavljuje se cela priča i na kraju zauzima celu stranu. Naša namera je da se čitalac, pored toga što ima zadovoljstvo da nađe i pročita priču, takođe na trenutak zbuni i izgubi kad naleti na besmislenu rečenicu. Isto tako, želimo da povećamo svest o apsurdnosti teksta (od kojih je samo jedan delić posledica tumbarumbe). LoopLoopPatrick Bergeron: LoopLoop U vozu koji ide za Hanoj u Vijetnamu, prolaze kuće pored pruge. Koristeći animaciju i pomeranje vremena, video ide napred i nazad tražeći zaboravljene detalje, imitira način na koji se sećanja vrte u glavi. LoopLoop je video lup. |
