Anthofluid – Painting in Anthocyanins
Created by Nathalie Gebert, Anthofluid is an installation that uses electric currents to stimulate fluid anthocyanin solution to draw pigmental paths across a gridded surface. For Nathalie, this process reflects the flexibility of matter and the f...
Summer 2024 – Design Art Technology at ArtEZ
Five students from the Design Art Technology (DAT) department at ArtEZ share their final semester research projects. DAT is a four year BA that helps students develop their own voice in a complex and technological world and find their place in (or...
Liminal Ring – (Un)controllable currents in the persistence of chaos
Liminal Ring visualizes humanity's obsession with controlling nature while exposing the limitations of such interventions. By introducing laminar flows—artificially directed streams—into naturally occurring turbulence, this project explores the bo...
Portable Black Cat Radar – Mediating Superstition
The Portable Black Cat Radar is part of an ongoing series exploring Machines Responding to Superstitions. The device is comprised of a GPS, gyroscope and magnetometer to gauge your position in the world while at the same time generating fictional ...
RWM MK1 – Soundscapes of electromagnetic radiation
The RWM MK1 (Radio Wave Modulator Mark 1) is an experimental electronic synthesizer that captures and transforms the constant stream of radio waves and transmissions passing through Earth's atmosphere.
Explorer – Sun powered art object
Created by Jelle Reith, Explorer is a solar-powered art object with a dynamically scaled frame rate, designed to conserve energy during those dark winter days.
Animas – Music co-creation with AI
Anima is an interactive installation that facilitates a musical jam session between humans and machines. Operating much like a sequencer, Anima uses open-source AI algorithms to generate musical sequences.
Lumos Ra Interactive Lighting: RA-01
Created by computational media artist, designer and entrepreneur Andreas Rothaug from Futura Epsis 1, Lumos Ra is a lamp with app-connectivity that interprets music, playfully exploring color gradients: an interactive experience stimulating and me...
Sol – An apparatus that depicts pathways of the sun
Sol is a custom made apparatus that can depict any position and any trajectory of the sun. Since the sun’s path changes every day, the exact path it takes through the sky depends not only on the date but also on the geographical location of the ob...
Floating Codes – The (spatial) topology of an artificial neural network
'Floating Codes' is a site-specific light and sound installation that explores the inner workings and hidden aesthetics of artificial neural networks – the fundamental building blocks of machine learning systems or artificial intelligence. The exh...
