BRILLIANT CUBE / 2014, SEOUL

by JIN-YO MOK 

Brilliant Cube is a kinetic 3D matrix, comprised of 576 clear LED poles moving up and down. The dimension is 6M X 6M X 6M. It is located at Gangnam station crossroads, one of the most crowded spots in Seoul being a new landmark of Gangnam.

With the theme of "Live Brilliant" each LED stands for the brilliant moment of our lives, and by the structure this shows the frameworks of our time that implies the social shift of each individual with equal capacity tiered in the same distance and depth.

Brilliant Cube, created by a renowned media artist Jin-Yo Mok, in collaboration with Seoul based media artist group: Jonpasang, is not only a kinetic sculpture, but a medium for various messages.

This installation is supported by Hyundai Motor Company and Gangnam Gu.

DIAGONALES – Mclaren Mur à Mur / 2014, Montréal

by IREGULAR & THÉODORE USHEV

Animator Norman McLaren (1914 – 1987) scratched directly on the magnetic tape to create and synchronize sounds to images on film. DIAGONALES is inspired by his work and technique.

We are using two of McLaren’s films in full: Horizontal Lines, Vertical Lines and 256 frames of Synchromy that we used to create generative graphics. The technology we developed allows us to detect where people are scratching. This data is used to create visuals and give control and to the audience on where they appear.

LUMIERE No 6 EXCERPT II / 2014, Donaufestival, Krems, AUSTRIA 

by ROBERT HENKE

Based on self written software, this work on the edge of concert and site specific installation finds previously unseen beauty and minimalistic elegance in a commonly underrated medium. High power lasers are used to draw complex morphing shapes and connect points in space. Unleashing the full potential of the underlying advanced vector engine, Lumière combines precise geometric figures with floating organic structures, presenting the archaic sign language of an alien culture communicating via emerging and disappearing traces of extremely bright light. The software also generates the control signals to drive equally abstract and powerful sonic events, a multi sensorial experience of audiovisual rhythm, at times fragile and quiet, at others massive and overwhelming. Each Lumière performance is a unique and site specific real time exploration of synchronicity and divergence, of light and darkness at the limits of perception.

320° LICHT I SPATIAL EXPERIENCE / 2014

By URBANSCREEN

The ‘320° Licht’ installation of URBANSCREEN uses the cathedral-like beauty of the Gasometer Oberhausen as the starting point for a fascinating game with shapes and light.

Within a radius of 320 degrees graphic patterns grow and change on the 100-metre high inside wall of the Gasometer.

The observer experiences the interplay between real and virtual space, in which the Gasometer seems to dissolve into its own, filigree structures and yet finally always reverts to its clear shape. ’320° Licht’ is achieved with kind project support from Epson Germany.

With approx. 20,000 square meters of area played upon, the installation is among the world’s largest and technically most sophisticated interior projections - interconnecting 21 powerful projectors to one projection screen.

SKIES PAINTED WITH UNNUMBERED SPARKS

by JANET ECHELMAN & AARON KOBLIN 

A monumental interactive sculpture in Vancouver, Canada created by artists Janet Echelman and Aaron Koblin for TED's 30th anniversary. Choreographed by visitors in real time through their mobile devices, at night, the sculpture becomes a crowd-controlled visual artwork on a giant, floating canvas powered by Google.

LINE SEGMENTS SPACE / 2013 by Kimchi and Chips Projection, Nylon string, Code CONCEPT An architectural web of threads subtends a null space. It hangs abstract and undefined, a set of thin positive elements segmenting the dark negative space between. Dynamic imaginary forms are articulated into the physical volume by the material of this thread, and the semi-material of the light. The visual gravity of the filaments occupying the space between.

A 2D canvas is reduced from a surface piece into a line segment, but then constructed into another dimension, a volume. Light creates contrast and order on the lines to articulate digital matter. Digital forms inhabit the interconnected boundaries of space, becoming incarnate as visual mass.

byThe artists reference Picasso’s light painting, and Reticuláreas of Gego who’s work offers a contemplation of the material and immaterial, time and space, origin and encounter and art and technology.
