Audiovisual installation by Joanie Lemercier
Projections onto a painted pattern

Inspired by the icelandic volcano, which wreaked travel havoc across europe earlier this year, Joanie Lemercier presents the latest incarnation of its audiovisual mapping project for the first time in London. Painted directly onto a large wall, a wireframed scenery is slowly revealed by gentle light effects. The audience’s sense are progressively challenged as optical illusions question their perception of space.

VISUALS:
Joanie Lemercier

This project was initially developed during a onedotzero residency at EMPAC in the USA in April 2010.

“Light Butterflies” by Chiara Lampugnani Design is an innovative project displayed in Paolo Sarpi Street and Canonica Street in Milan as part of the the Milan International Led Light Festival (held from 4 December 2010 until 10 January 2011). Here is some information from the official press release: Inspired by the Butterflies Oasis based in Palestro Street in Milan, the light butterflies by Chiara Lampugnani are an homage to the beauty of Nature through the splendor and magic of light. A message to the city of Milan which is always in a hurry so that it may stop and think about the simple things of life through the eyes of a child. We salute this uncommon project and we consider it to be a great idea of urban regeneration that could be applied in different cities in order to bring streets and neighborhoods back to life.

Shade enero 4, 2011

Es.

El diseñador londinense Simon Heijdens presenta la instalación Shade, lograda a través de una película especial aplicada sobre el cristal de una ventana en el Art Institute Chicago. Esta superficie consta de decenas de triángulos en el que cada uno de ellos está vinculado a sensores que vigilan las corrientes de aire que afectan el exterior, produciendo en respuesta a ello, una superficie que transforma su nivel de opacidad en relación a la reacción producida por las condiciones ambientales. Con ello, las proyecciones que se presentan en constante cambio, dependen en todo momento de las condiciones del viento y la ruta del sol a lo largo de un día.

Esta instalación forma parte de la exposición de hipervínculos en el programa del  Art Institute Chicago hasta el 20 de julio de 2011.

London designer Simon Heijdens has applied a special film to windows at the Art Institute Chicago that creates constantly-changing shadows in response to weather conditions outside.

Each triangle in the grid is linked to sensors that monitor wind currents past the outside of the glass, causing the panels to change their level of opacity.

The projections are therefore constantly changing, depending on the wind conditions and path of the sun over the course of a day.

The installation is part of the Hyperlinks exhibition on show until 20 July 2011.

DJ luz es una instalación interactiva que da a los visitantes la oportunidad de orquestar un impresionante espectáculo de luz y sonido logrado en el espacio público. Esta obra creada para la empresa de energía Endesa representó la piedra angular en las pasadas celebraciones de Navidad en Lima, Perú.

La instalación consta de 85 globos gigantes de luz, en donde cada uno es capaz de mostrar millones de colores. A medida que el ”DJ invitado” asume su posición en el podio, éste con los movimientos de su cuerpo,  logra concebir en tiempo real una serie de bellos movimientos de luz y sonidos generativos en el espacio público donde se presenta.

DJ Light is an immersive public sound and light installation that gives visitors the power to orchestrate an awe-inspiring performance of light and sound across a large public space. It was created for energy company Endesa as the cornerstone of their Christmas celebrations in Lima, Peru.

DJ Light is about the exhilaration of one person taking control over a massive space and manipulating the incredible array of light and sound within it using nothing more than their own body. It is an empowering experience where the public is invited to be the artist.

The installation consists of 85 giant globes of light, each capable of displaying millions of colours. As the “guest DJ” assumes their position on the podium, they can use their arms to point and gesture. These movements are translated in real-time into beautiful movements of light and generative sound across the space.
