Resonate – Belgrade New Media Festival, 16-17 March 2012

January 19th, 2012

I rarely announce events here on today and tomorrow but “Resonate – Belgrade New Media Festival” might be something you’re interested to attend. It’s a 2 day festival in Belgrade, Serbia, taking place 16-16 March 2012. There’re will be talks, workshops, panel discussions, performances and concerts. But they’ve also taken care of a night program with DJ sets, live audio/visual performances and concerts. The line-up sounds great: Nicholas Felton, Josh Nimoy, Jer Thorp, Greg J. Smith, Regine Debatty, Champagne Valentine, Niklas Roy, Benjamin Gaulon, Martial Geoffre-Rouland, Karsten Schmidt, FIELD, LAb[au], Rafaël Rozendaal, United Visual Artists, Written Images, Jürg Lehni, WARP, onedotzero and more… I bet half of them were already featured here on today and tomorrow.

The early bird tickets are still available till tomorrow night for €40! Buy one and see you there!

‘Resonate’ is an initiative by “Magnetic Field B” in collaboration with CreativeApplications.Net and Dom Omladine, Belgrade. The event takes place in Belgrade, Serbia, March 16-17 in 2012.

One Piece at a Time

January 17th, 2012

“One Piece at a Time” is a project by Jonathan Brand. It’s a paper 3D version of a 1969 Ford Mustang which he used to have but had to sell to buy a diamond engagement ring. It’s almost as complete as the original, the body and interior were completely refinished but not its mechanicals. The details of the car are based more on his memory and a few photographs.

Tape Recorders

January 11th, 2012

Rafael Lozano-Hemmer is a Mexican electronic artist, who develops interactive installations that are at the intersection of architecture and performance art. “Tape Recorders” is one of his recent installation which was commissioned by the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney.

Rows of motorised measuring tapes record the amount of time that visitors stay in the installation. As a computerised tracking system detects the presence of a person, the closest measuring tape starts to project upwards. When the tape reaches around 3m high it crashes and recoils back.

Each hour, the system prints the total number of minutes spent by the sum of all visitors.

Make sure to check his 2 other new artworks: Voice Array and Flatsun.
