2008, media installationsLive search( total items: 7 ) NaturesBogdanka Poznanović AwardBogdanka Poznanović Award, main prize for the installation or live piece went toNatures (Quayola) which expands on his work seen in single screen video programs. His use of motion tracking software develops a multilayered aesthetic reminiscent of the Vorticists of the 20s. It appears to make visible the energies connecting things. The more you look at it the more you see in it.. A treat for aesthetes. Although its not live, its what’s happening now.  Quayola: Natures Natures is a project that explores the dialogue between the natural and the artificial, creating a world where these two elements coexist harmoniously. It consists on a series of audio-visual compositions that simulates organic behaviors through an atypical use of motion tracking techniques. The melodious movement of plants spinning with the wind triggers an intricate web of computer-generated lines and shapes. Interpreting the organic structures of the plants, the artificial element becomes part of the natural and vice versa. StairsSpecial MentionStairs received an honourable mention for its poetic time remapping of human presence in an architectural space.  Stairs Film impression about time. Unillumined Corridors J. W. Deiman: Unillumined Corridors Unillumined Corridors is an abstract piece that can be seen both as a generative installation and as an abstract film. The piece is neither completely random, nor based on a completely fixed design. Different grids are combined to create compositions. However, the system has been made in a way that these compositions will never exactly repeat themselves and that there will be room for deviated pictures. The soundtrack is not a direct translation of the video or data but is based on field-recordings and a quote by Roger Scruton. The soundtrack exceeds the feeling of purely a system and creates a more filmic relation between image and sound. By a literally endless alternation of horizontal and vertical lines one experiences an atmospheric feeling of strongly changing scales that refers to textures and urban landscapes. as if to nothing Andreas Templin: as if to nothing as if to nothing comprises of a selection of statistical data of the earth and its population. This data, collected from various governmental sources, is displayed in a very specific and subjective interdependency, is combined with the highly dramatic second move of Bruckner‘s 7th symphony which is looped for the screening. This music-piece, a tour-de-force through the human emotions, is used to underline the weight of the subject-matter of this artwork. Breaking The News - Be a News-Jockey Breaking The News-Be a news jockey Breaking The News – Be a News-Jockey is an interactive installation, transmitting in realtime information from the internet. The user becomes a live performer, a News-Jockey. AnhedoniaAnhedonia came out of a desire to replace the visual layer of an entire film with tagged footage, putting the words from the script into a search engine. In this case Annie Hall, 1977 by Woody Allen, was chosen for its ground braking structure of long shots and almost only dialogue based content. The idea can also bee seen as a reversal of Woody Allen's directorial debut, What's Up Tiger Lily?, a 1966 comedy, which utilized clips from Kokusai Himitsu Keisatsu: Kagi No Kagi, 1965, a Japanese spy film. 88 Constellations for Wittgenstein (to be played with the Left Hand) 88 Constellations for Wittgenstein ... 88 Constellations for Wittgenstein (to be played with the Left Hand) is an interactive, non-linear net.art piece that explores the lifeosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein through a series of animated vignettes created in Flash. Each of the 88 sections corresponds to one of the 88 constellations in the night sky. The viewer can negotiate the associative relationships between these vignettes by navigating with an interface corresponding to one of the 88 constellations as well as interact with each collaged animation by using their left hand to trigger events from the computer keyboard (in homage to Ludwig Wittgenstein’s brother Paul – a concert pianist who lost his right arm in WWI but continued his career performing piano works composed for the Left Hand). |
