For some time Dries Depoorter has been exploring themes of privacy, artificial intelligence, surveillance & social media in his work, creating interactive installations, apps and games that question our relationship to and with technology.
His latest work, ’24h Sunrise/Sunset’ is an attempt to show that ‘unsecured CCTV cameras can also show something beautiful‘ – an installation that displays a realtime sunset and sunrise somewhere happening in the world with the use of CCTV.
Created using Raspberry Pi 3B+, Arduino Nano Every , custom PCB, power supply’s, VFD displays, lasercut metal and LEDs. Software includes Python 3 & Firebase realtime databases.
Currently on show at Berlin’s NOME Gallery is the latest work by Nils Völker titled Bits And Pieces. The installation consists out of 108 mass-produced toy spheres hanging in the middle of the exhibition space, individually addressable and controlled, to create organic waves that appear to move throughout the space.
Created by Marion Pinaffo & Raphaël Pluviange, ‘Papier Machine’ is a booklet gathering a family of 13 paper-made electronic toys ready to be cut, coloured, folded, assembled or torn.
Created by David Colombini, The Weather Followers is a commentary on ‘smart’ applications and predictive, comfortable digital routines. Instead of relying on ‘accurate’ data, intangible algorithms and hidden lines of code-driven lifestyles, this device brings serendipity to your digital life, using constantly evolving weather data recorded by four weather instruments.
Developed at the MIT Media Lab’s Fluid Interfaces Group, Reality Editor allows users to merge digital and physical realities into a unified experience.
