The human breath not only helps maintain life, but also carries a conversation, both in its assistance in the verbal conversation but in the chemical composition and interaction with nature. It is an ever-changing matrix with infinite components that maintains an intriguing complexity.
“Below Threshold” is an installation that translates the natural landscape into a mechanical one. This mechanical landscape has the capacity to measure qualities of the air and react to shifts in the environment. These shifts – primarily through the presence of the viewer – activates the installation, making visible the ways our breath influences the world around us.
The installation consists of acrylic rods, servos, microcontrollers, and a gas sensor that constantly monitors the air of its environment. The data gathered from the gas sensor is translated into a shifting waveform that is meant to mimic the way wind passes through a field of tall grass.
Face Trade is an Art Vending Machine created by Matthias Dörfelt that dispenses unique prints of computer generated face drawings. Instead of paying with money, buyers trade a mugshot that is taken on the spot in order to be permanently stored in the Ethereum Blockchain, consequently turning the transaction into a semi-permanent Face Swap.
Mattia Casalegno (multifaceted Italian artist based in Los Angeles, 1981) takes inspiration from disciplines such as anthropology, biology, ecology, and neurosciences, deploying a vast array of technologies and expressive forms, with a natural inclination for new media languages.
Artefact#0, Digital Necrophony is a recent installation by Lille-based artist Mathilde Lavenne that forgoes (burial and cremation) funerary convention in favour of sonification.
