MEMO Akten – Body paint

New Media art installations @ Electric Castle 2019
Our body is a vessel for emotional expression. We have a natural instinct to express ourselves with movement. Body Paint taps into this and combines it with our desire to create – even more so, our desire to create something beautiful.

Materials: infrared light, code, projection

 

RNDR – Uncode (2019)

 

An interactive installation that visualizes how creative coding works by exposing its mechanics. Creative coding is a process of experiments, mistakes, and iterations, often manifesting in a visual outcome. It lies in the duality between the mystification and demystification of the visible.

Materials: projection, code, foam, wood, camera feed

The hemisphere – Uncode as a teleport to the festival stages and their surroundings. Visitors can interact with the multi-temporal visualisation of live stream data by walking towards the hemisphere.

Nonotak – Leap v.1 (2019)

Nonotak_EC2019

A grid of floating light surfaces oscillating to a site-specific sound design interplay with the architecture of the stables through a choreography of shadows and light.
Materials: led light, sound and light programming

404.zero – Deep Jet Lag (2019)

404_EC

Generative visuals, accompanied by sounds created on modular synthesizers driven by random algorythms, take over the castle ceiling – expanding it spatially and changing its structure to a fluid membrane of concrete and rock.
Materials: code, projection, sound

 

Children of the Light – Diapositive (2016)

new media art installations - children_of_the_light_EC2019

Light materializes inside a rotating circle, appearing as thin film suspended in the centre of the room. Darkness becomes visible and quasi-tactile as it enters into a game of presence and absence with the animated light.
Materials: metal, motors, led, haze, sound

Digital Interactive Arts Master’s Program – Babeș-Bolyai University

New Media art installations digital_arts_2019

Shohei Fujimoto – Crystallized Line Segments (2019)

Fujimoto_EC2019

A kinetic sculpture reflecting controlled light beams generated from custom algorithms. Light becomes chaotic, yet architectural material, filling the room with temporary traces.
Materials: projection, custom software, mirrors, motors, haze, sound.

Matthew Schreiber – Last Light (2019)

last_light_EC2019

Underwater footage shot during an astrological event slowly becomes pure light, transforming the chapel into a visual and sonic pulse, leading the mind to a meditative state.
Materials: wood, fabric, led, projection, sound, chapel.

 

 

Olivier Ratsi – Spectrum (2019)

Olivier_Ratsi_EC2019

Inspired by Newton’s research on light, the installation can be viewed from multiple perspectives, but fully resolves from a single point. Interacting with the tower’s current architecture, this anamorphosis reveals the colour spectrum of light in a perfect grid.
Materials: polycarbonate tubing, metal, cables, wood, custom code and led texture
