In Moscow show high-tech-art

At the festival of digital art in Moscow, the artists will show their vision of an "alternative", created with the help of new technologies.


In the third Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art from September 19 to October 2, will be held annually (sixth), Festival of Digital Art Art Digital, on the relationship of art and new technologies. «Art Digital 6: The Other" - a visual study of the concept of "otherness". Placed quite simply, the main question, which is responsible Exhibition - "What does today - to be the alternative?".

Among the issues raised by the artists - the importance of social relationships in contemporary society, as well as the choice of the most vulnerable social groups, whose rights must defend art. "Who is it today - homosexuals, women, immigrants, or someone else?" - Ask the organizers of the festival. Each of the artists offered his view of these problems.

For example, someone criticizes the degree of cultural influence on society of modern art, which is commonly regarded as popular today. Others question the "fabricated the truth", which are stuffed credulous audience media. Someone, on the contrary, locked in his own little world, where personal desires and experiences dominate the global social problems.

Despite the fact that all the works in the exhibition have a strong personality, they argue that art which we call "modern", a revolutionary by its very nature - because it does not fit the picture of the world, which draws the world of capital and political power, and which is usually called "mainstream".

One of the projects presented at the Art Digital, - work by Alexandra Dementieva, entitled "The Unbearable Lightness". A vertical video projection stained-glass windows at a distance of 2 meters from where the floor is an interactive mat. If you stand on it, the picture comes to life: saints on stained glass slowly become astronauts. The rate of their transformation is so low that their eyes are beginning to notice it only after 1.5 minutes - too long for visitors. This work is dedicated to expectation, through which passes an ordinary PC user or viewer, used to manage the process and accelerate it to obtain the desired object or movie as soon as possible.

Art Digital will be held at the Center for Contemporary Art in M'ARS Pushkariov Lane, 5. According to organizers, is the largest festival of digital art in Russia, first held in 2003, its main objective - promotion of art, created with the help of new technologies.

elephant gun and listen to the chorus Vader in love


July 21, 2008, membrana

Unthinkable balancing multi-ton animal to elongated trunk. Speed gun, destroying beer bottles. Зловещая электронная машина, отсылающая к фильмам Джорджа Лукаса и Стэнли Кубрика. What could it all combined? American stadium in the French art center named after the Japanese capital!
Paris contemporary art museum Palais de Tokyo is now carrying out one of the most bizarre of his exhibitions SUPERDOME.

Name she received on behalf of the Superdome stadium in New Orleans.

The French write that this structure (born in 1975) has seen a lot in his lifetime: the Cup finals on American football, and a concert of Rolling Stones, and the statement of Pope John Paul II, and the Congress of the Republican Party, and finally, the thousands and thousands of refugees, homeless during the rampage of Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

"Paradoxical Superdome building bridges between the largest entertainment and an absolute disaster" - explain the organizers of the exhibition select its name.

Several authors have provided a Parisian halls of his works, as "balance between entertainment and devastation."

Читать дальше... 

Thus, the French artist Daniel Firman (Daniel Firman) perched in the center of the empty hall of the elephant Würsa, providing him with "subhead" - a 18 000 km de la terre. То есть "в 18 тысячах километров над Землёй".

His creation, not costing no "magic" taxidermist, Jean-Pierre Gerard (Jean-Pierre Gérard), Daniel intent on shaking a philistine if you like - daily, of the power and immutability of gravity.

You say: plant a sculpture on a pillar inside the trunk - small labor. But the artist is trying to surprise us: "And this elephant could easily perform such a trick, is 18 thousand kilometers above the Earth, or if our planet would be much larger in diameter.

Then the weight of the thick-skinned giant would have been smaller, and he (with due diligence, I suppose) could show in a circus trick.

The balance of the elephant, bored in the exhibition hall, seems unreliable. So just believe in the wisdom and foresight of the author tracks the visitors dare to approach the beast (full-size, among other things) up close.

Some sort entertaining physics, are sent to the viewer to the Space Association (satellite, the conquest of planets), materializing an idea of decreasing (in full accordance with the law of gravity) force of gravity.

But Fabien Giraud (Fabien Giraud) and Rafael Sibony (Raphaël Siboni) had tried to show the nature of "evil in the car", which built the installation "The latest maneuvers in the dark" (Last Manoeuvres in the Dark).

300 terracotta mask of Darth Vader (Darth Vader) lined up in neat rows, like Terracotta Army (Terracotta Army) Chinese Emperor Shi Huang (Shi Huang Di).

All masks are equipped with speakers, microprocessors and are connected with a powerful computer (black - apparently, it was important for artists), who occupied that composes the "most sinister" melody in the world.

Black masks of the famous movie character for the two Frenchmen - a reference point in the search depth "darkness" being waged by some analysis program music.

The Imperial March from "Star Wars" (Star Wars) inventors, it seems, deemed insufficiently gloomy. Because they are loaded into memory a huge stock of "black" works - every kind of requiem to heavy metal.

From these pieces of tracks and the car is a "hymn to evil", the executable army of dark Jedi Knights (I wonder if familiar Fabien and Rafael with concrete song?)

It is interesting that the main inspiration for Last Manoeuvres in the Dark, according to Giraud and Sibony, they come not from "Star Wars", but on the other fantastic bands - "Space Odyssey 2001" (2001: A Space Odyssey).

In the famous 1968 film is a scene in which an astronaut gradually disables blocks rebellious intelligent computer HAL 9000, killed all the members of the crew, except, indeed, the main character. Switchable electronic brain "regressing" to the beginning of his life and before the final breakdown of the singing children's song, so contrasting with the "evil nature of the adult" computer (in fact - just a terribly good).

This episode helped spur the French pair of reflections on the theme: what makes a computer evil and what makes a computer wise? And while this reasonable (and evil) computers do not exist, visitors are invited to listen to something like their impending gait.

All this, incidentally, reminds okolonauchnye experiments on transferring the soul of the flower in the computer.

Third is an example of "good madness" - the work of Italian masters Arcangelo Sassolino (Arcangelo Sassolino). This little thing called Afasia 1, but a gun, using compressed nitrogen.

In the gun, nothing much would have happened if it were not for the shells. It's empty beer bottles. They fly out of the barrel at a speed of 600 kilometers per hour and fly to pieces when hitting the wall.

The entire installation is enclosed in a steel cage, the cells which may, however, keep only the largest pieces of bottles. Medium and small fragments can hardly notice it. It is fortunate that most of them fell near the wall. There broken glass gradually forms a real green carpet.

But why a bottle of beer? This, according to the creator of the machine, referring to pop culture, rock and "public violence".

We are all in it are, if not "negative character", the passive audience.

The author has this little show (and the gun automatically makes a shot every few minutes) offers visitors to the hall itself to decide how far to the black wall is acceptable to them. After all, along the cell can pass freely.

On the one hand, curiosity prompts a closer look at the "explosion" of a flying bottle, the other - requires caution to stay away from glass splinters.

Whose voice will be stronger? This is a dangerous feeling of balance and tried to pass Arcangelo.

And then you can still recall: how often we have seen the aggression on the streets as more and more willing to absorb a lot of people "hot" and sometimes bloody news, pressed to the television. The point here, of course, not in beer. But for some reason he artist "charged" scare visitors.

Of course, this is not all work included in SUPERDOME. And why are all the same, they are united under the name of American stadium, we do not really understand. Want to make your opinion? Will travel in the French capital - look at the Palais de Tokyo. The exhibition will run until Aug. 24.

I liked very much.

And I can not determine its attitude to these artists. For example, there is a question: the exploitation of their children's theme - is to create images for the penetration of new meanings or a way to achieve a bright surface effect, or both, and maybe a fourth?

operation of child themes

I personally really liked it. Not all videos watched, but children's theme is very beautiful, I think that it is possible to perceive multifaceted. But indeed talking about the commercials and not pictures.

Boxing in poems

In Moscow hosted the first international festival videopoezii. Art is so young that his measure is not clear

Bulletin

26/11/2009, 224 (2494)

At the festival videopoezii "fifth leg", held at the Cinema "Pioneer" in the Biennale of poets, showed 23 works. Among them are made on the verses and masters - Sergei Gandlevsky, Vera Pavlova, Timur Kibirova - and rapidly rising powers Vodennikova Dmitry, Andrei Rodionov, Theodore Swarovski, and poets, known only by a narrow lovers of poetry - Alexandra and Alexei Pereverzin Timatkova. Commercials also have been made in very different ways: some - apparently at the knee, the other - quite professionally, this is the full short films.

In fact, the last hundred years so it happened constantly. They felt cramped in the grip of the words, commas and a piece of paper. And then they refused to punctuation, and turned the verses in the picture, as did, for example, Apollinaire in his famous kaligrammah. Or floated poetry and painting - as the European avant-garde artists (though in China it has always existed). New, the most recent result of anguish poets over the space of less flat than paper - just videopoeziya. Here is the text of the poem is connected with the film, the author of poems may not appear on the screen, but as a rule, it is his voice read poems.

Common sense from the one shown at the festival - his youth, the beginning. Touching in its angularity art, not the end of shape and understand yourself. Wonder at the good half of the commercials flashed very young, almost young person. Obviously, the ones who came to videopoeziyu his feet, he wanted to make a film on his poems.

Poets belonging to the older generation - in addition to the above, this is Lev Rubinstein, Helena Fanailova, Ivan Zhdanov - appeared only in the anthology "Perspective", apparently initiated by the "top": video anthology were written by the Fund of Cultural Initiatives Mikhail Prokhorov. By senior poets videopoeziya timidly knocked on the door, and they agreed to participate. So her face still does not define them. Let the work Racurs and were the most skillful.

At the end of the hour and a half of the festival jury, which included the director Gleb Aleinikov, the playwright Mikhail Ugarov, poet Dmitry Vodennikov, chief editor of "Book review" and founder of the Russian-speaking videopoezii Alexander Gavrilov, director Alexei Hanyutin, determined the winners.

First place was awarded himself a silent roller "Tropsport" from Smolensk - this palindrome composed Edward Kulemin, video shot Vladimir Cherkasov. The word "sport" and its mirror image in red boxing gloves, gloves vigorously lupyat the cell, the viewer is literally on the eyes. Focus amusing, but that's besides him there is nothing.

Second place went to Lev Rubinstein and Peter Solovyov for the movie "From beginning to end" - the exquisite dialogue with the "Black Square" by Malevich. The third position was "Fall on Zarechnoj Street" (verses Vsevolod Emelina videos Denis Branitsky) - priblatnennaya elegy, telling about the terrible changes in Zarechnoj street where povyrastali banks, churches, and sex shops. Zritel'skie sympathies got a sharp, almost poster paper "Do sidings strange destiny" (poems Andrei Rodionov, video Dennis Branitsky).

It is a pity that stayed behind videostihi (right?) Alexander Pereverzin "It became very cold chill" (video Lethe Yugay), sounding to the changing pastel pictures, such as simple, obvious and sad, as the text itself. But to insist that this is the best movie, it is impossible. Because the evaluation criteria have not yet worked out. What is important? The quality of the text? The original director's decision? Or their symphony? It seems that this did not look so far no one, including the festival jury. That is why the first place and got roller, in which there is no poetry in general, and the video is not the most daunting.

Yet while videopoeziya full of freshness and charm. What's good, even if it is just the charm of youth.
