»Morphotransformations«, 2006 and
»Optoshaker«, 2006, examines the technical process of image-presentation of thermionic monitors by making the skull vibrate, and thus the eye of the observer. Through interferences between the frequency of the monitor‘s image structure and the vibrations of the eye the presented freeze image changes. By Daniel Hafner.
“Centurium” – Exhibition view and “24hs for you – Centurium Trihedral” by Rodrigo Matheus.
“Now, with 10x more wire” (Video) by Douglas Irving Repetto in collaboration with Kyle Lapidus and Tali Hinkis.
Sustainable, a kinetic sculpture comprised of seven water gong agents that are networked via water and strive toward equilibrium according to a simple water access algorithm; by David Birchfield.
“Safe Tunning”, “Berthier 4” (lifts you up 1.50m and needs 25 minutes for that) and “Berthier 808” (pushes you one meter away from the wall) by Julien Berthier.
“Crema” – Nezaket Ekici turns fluidly cream to butter. Duration of the performance: 20 min.
“Untitled 1″ (broom sweeps floor every second) and “Untitled 3″ (graphite disc is thrown every hour at 17 minutes past the hour) by Piero Golia.
“Resonating-With-Light” (Video) by Edo Paulus is an installation that consists of multiple small electronic units in a natural environment with sunlight. Each unit collects solar energy and transforms this energy into a repetitive bouncing of itself onto a metal tube, thus creating a kinetic and acoustic reaction to sunlight.
“Scrollbars” (Video) by Edo Paulus and Jan Robert Leegte.
»Keep on Smoking«. As an alternative to petrol, this custom-made bicycle transforms kinetic energy produced by the cyclist into smoke. Video.
»Shared Propulsion Car«. In this project, all superfluous devices were removed from an 86’ Buick Regal (such as the motor, suspension, transmission and electrical system) thereby reducing the weight of the vehicle whilst preserving its appearance. It was then equipped with 4 independent pedal and gear mechanisms that make it possible for passengers to form a self-propulsion group. The »Shared Propulsion Car« makes it possible for the passengers to drive on public roads with the goal of blocking traffic.
»Réparations«. This work is an initiative in the course of which used plastic bottles found by chance on the street are recuperated and transformed into rockets. The ballistic launching device is made up of a bicycle pump used to compress a mixture of water and air in the recuperated bottle. Through the incessant up-and-down movement of the pump, the internal pressure reaches its peak, which results in a loud explosion and the release of the bottle’s compressed contents. In this way, the bottle is transformed into a veritable rocket and shoots skyward. In walking through the city, bottles that had been abandoned in the streets were successively fired into the Paris sky. All projects by Michel de Broin.
“Divine methods/Hidden motives” – On a wall in the Kloosterkerk in Den Haag, an industrial robot-arm is mounted. The robot is holding a lit candle, moving it through the space with calculated precision. Video.
“In Places” – Video. Works by Erik Olofsen.
