Year End Special by Augmented Bombings: Order your free 3D bomb and become part of a guerrilla art exhibition in March 2012! Deadline: February 29, 2012.

The art project Augmented Bombings is looking for courageous folks who want to live with a virtual 3D bomb. The bomb is totally harmless, it doesn’t hurt or limit the usage of your space in any way. There are no costs arising. Since the positioning is done from the outside, you don’t have to make an appointment with a technician.

Twin bombs of the first 40 bombs ordered will be part of a guerrilla art exhibition in March 2012. The venue could be: Devon Islands (Canada), Ōmiya Park Soccer Stadium (Japan) or the Guggenheim Museum in New York (USA). You, dear bomb hosts, decide which one or suggest other places.

The Real-Fake is an exhibition that presents the approaches employed by artists exploring artificial xyz space, the non-referenced synthetic image or object, and the specific qualities of the virtual camera that records it. Its purpose is to position 3D computer graphics in the discursive context of contemporary art. Continue reading

‘TranSonic’ Perception in Interactive ChoreoSonic Performance Practice by Stan Wijnans, Body, Space & Technology Journal, Vol 10 Number 2:

This paper reflects on the creation and perception of an interactive spatial ChoreoSonic1 performance environment. The term ‘Transonic Perception’ is introduced to describe the intimate bodily experience of the dancer who creates the 3D spatial sonic environment within the technologically enhanced environment. I will discuss conceptual issues that outline a synchronicity between the spatial elements of dance movement and 3D spatial sound perception that can be used artistically in the creative process. The discussion focuses specifically on the human perception of the visual, tactical and auditory space in the digitally enhanced performance environment.

Augmented Structures v1.1: Acoustic Formation by Refik Anadol and Alper Derinboğaz :: until November 13, 2011 :: Yapı Kredi Cultural Centre, Istiklal Street, 161, Beyoğlu, Istanbul, Turkey. Continue reading

Be Your Own Souvenir invites the viewer to perform the role of and become a human statue, with a free personal souvenir as a reward: a small figurine of the participant, printed three-dimensionally from a volumetric reconstruction of their form, generated by the use of a structured light scanner.

LAb[au] is presenting: Particle Synthesis @ Experience Space a group exhibition with Aram Bartholl, Christa Sommerer and Laurent Mignnoneau, John F. Simon, Lynn Hershman Leeson, LAb[au], Marius Watz, Evan Roth, Nicole Nickel :: September 20 - December 11, 2011 :: [DAM]Berlin gallery, Neue-Jakob-Str. 6/7, D-10179 Berlin, Germany.

Particle synthesis is an installation based on an autonomous, self-standing, audio-visual setting. Consequently the core of the work focuses on programmed, generative, processes within sound creation and music composition as to visualize, notate, these processes in real-time. Continue reading

Blowup: The Era of Objects with Julian Bleecker (Nokia, Near Future Laboratory), Alexandra Deschamps-Sonsino (Really Interesting Group), and Anab Jain (Superflux) in an exploration of speculative design :: September 29, 2011; 8:00 -11:00 pm :: V2_, Eendrachtsstraat 10, Rotterdam + streamed live.

We are rapidly entering (and perhaps even have already entered) an era where we are able to print 3D objects at our desks, make and share laser-cut gifts for friends, and use off-the-shelf tools to plug these creations into the web and have them send status updates on our behalf. We have some commonly-held visions of the future, but what could our very wildest dreams (and nightmares) look like, beyond the cliché of the flying car? What answers can we find in speculative design? Our expert guests will explore these questions in collaboration with the audience in a hands-on, “open think-tank” format. Continue reading

Dérive @ Espace [im] média by François Quévillon :: until September 18, 2011 :: Outdoor interactive projection near the Marché the la Gare, 720 Place de la Gare, Sherbrooke, Quebec J1H 0E9, Canada.

Presented outdoors during Sherbrooke’s Espace [IM] Média festival, Dérive is a networked interactive installation by François Quévillon that invites the public to explore 3D models of urban spaces that are transformed according to environmental data collected in real time on the Web.

This first version of the installation presents 3D point clouds of Orleans (France), New York (USA), Sherbrooke and Montreal (Quebec, Canada) that were realized by the use of photogrammetry and geomatic data. Continue reading
