When not all is clear and the body does not immediately accept - it is rather good. Symptom of a meeting with avant-garde phenomenon. As if tuned to Glinka and played Schnittke. In particular, the introductory dance robots - show "Tiller Girls" Louis-Philippe Demers survived, not all. Technological avant-garde - he did so, requires the viewer steel livers and willingness to interactive. When you visit a traditional trade show enough willingness to contemplate, to take, but nothing to share. On the "sai-arte" such behavior is meaningless. Here the viewer want to be included in the literal and figurative sense. Stand gracefully to one side, pointedly potsokat, not to dirty the hands, will not work. Meaningless. Need to wear sensors, make sharp movements before fixing cameras, read long text soprovodilovki without fear of ridicule and everywhere include brains.
The exhibition is not just for snobs. True, in this way was also important not to overdo it. Sam D. Zimin "Dynasty" with rare exception it is focused on supporting science and scientific and educational projects. Art - in fact not his theme. It's one thing when such a project come with ready-leading product multimedia art, as did the "garage" with the imported project Decode: touch to digital art (until 10 April). A quite different - to offer its own new project with new works. A face is thin, there is always a risk of bias - the possibility of art to fall in the "Technical Museum" and "visual aids" for lessons in physics and biology. Now I can exhale - the whole project did not go to the didactic manner.
Visitors meets spectacular sculpture program "Model biometric reflections" Demetrius and Helena Kawarga - a new, complicated thing, especially for this exhibition. It provides multiple interfaces - the connection points of spectators. Sensors read the blood flow rate or the activity of the cerebral hemispheres, or electrical activity. Depending on the parameters at the entrance inside a transparent plastic shell servos drive the complex sculptural design: Rubber beating "heart" move "thread" and "ropes". This, incidentally, is perhaps the only object that will not be completely lost in case of power failure. Motion stops, but the plastic component does not bleed.
Among the most visually-attractive object can be noted 3D-installation "A dynamic model of the cell, Vladimir Grieg - the ball, which are projected close-ups of stem cells. It is not static, and the film that illustrates the processes occurring at the membrane surface. But even without knowing the background, you can get a visual pleasure - who could compete with the nature of inventiveness.
Of the projects of international fame can not ignore
robotic sculpture by German artist Ralf Becker (Ralf Baecker) «Space Computing" - a thinking fabric, web space, with wooden frames, with many servos. One of the leaders of the gaming genre is likely to become well-known multimedia installation Sniff. It is a computer projection of a live dog, created by Caroline Sobechkoy. Camera tracks the movement of the audience and give a response dog - from sniffing to aggression. However, the dog is fairly balanced.
In the exhibition, which runs until April 17, 2011, exhibited 28 works by artists from around the world, performed with the assistance of scientific advisors. If you are going to hike to expect that the exhibition is not a "fast". Need to rely on the hour and a half of intellectual work. And probably not in one go. Get ready, that love is not everything - and it is absolutely normal. Artists today grope towards a future arts and the avant-garde is always challenging. Such is his life - not a version of science.
