Photo: Courtesy the Shafic Abboud Family. Beirut has kicked off a campaign to build itself a modern and contemporary art museum in Lebanon. As reported by Al Monitor, the museum is planned to be called Beirut Contemporary.
A national campaign called "Museum in the Making," run by the Association for the Promotion and Exhibition of the Arts in Lebanon (APEAL), aims to create a haven for Lebanese art in the capital city. The country's government is unlikely to provide funding for such a project, so APEAL instead launched the fundraising initiative last week with an art auction and gala at the Hilton Beirut Habtoor Grand. Michael Jeha, the regional manager of Christie's in the Middle East, told Al-Hayat that he estimated that the evening's proceeds, which also included tickets for the benefit dinner, totaled over $500,000. That money will be put toward establishing Beirut Contemporary, with a targeted opening date of 2020.

[adrotate banner="3"] Art Hackathons, or Art Hacks, are where teams take data and turn it into something creative or artistic, often over an intense 48 hour period. Samuel Fry lists some examples of great art hackathons that have taken place over the last couple of years. Art Hackathons are now popular throughout the world: from New York to San Francisco (SF) and from London to Berlin. So this article looks to provide some examples of different forms of Art Hackathons from around the world. 2013 was the year that these really took off, so hopefully these will give you tips for running your own Hackathon in 2014. Generally, these hackathon events have been a great way of encouraging collaborations between art and technology companies. Examples of Previous Art Hackathons There are a number of organisations that have run Art Hackathons of different kinds.

T, Pascal Bauer PERFORMANCE / DEMONSTRATION LIVE! Yann Minh : “Les musées doivent se déployer dans le cyberespace” Des premiers mondes virtuels au Google Art Project en passant par le tout récent Valentino Garavani Museum (qui se dit le premier musée temps réel…) et les expériences sur Second Life, le musée virtuel est une sorte de tarte à la crème pour les conservateurs de musée et les créateurs d’univers immersifs. Peut-on vraiment apprécier l’art derrière un écran ? L’avatar a-t-il le goût de l’art ? Element de réponse à l’occasion du débat sur le musée du futur, lors du vernissage du SPAMM, au cours duquel nous avons interviewé Yann Minh sur son passionnant travail sur les musées virtuels avec le noomuseum.

Et l’esthésie ? SUPER ART MODERN MUSEUM - SPAMM - MUSEE DES ARTS SUPER MODERNES. Carsten Höller’s Whimsical Experiences at The New Museum. Last week the New Museum opened the first New York survey of works by German artist, Carsten Höller. Ongoing until early next year, the entire exhibition is an immersive, interactive installation. Twenty years in the making, Höller has created an artistic vision that is equal parts a scientific exploration of architecture and structural engineering and a real-life lab.
Höller’s pieces are designed to push the limits of human sensorial perception and logic through carefully executed participatory experiences. Prior to entering the show we were asked to read and sign a waiver of liability, which is very unusual for any kind of exhibition at a museum, but definitely a good sign. Höller actively engages the museum’s architecture, with each of the three main gallery floors and lobby representing different levels of interaction. The lobby featured a collection of giant mushroom sculptures presented at a human-sized scale.

Awe-Inspiring Cathedral Transformed With 55,000 LED Lights. 3D Geometric Light Graffiti Creates Mesmerizing Glow. Armed with an arsenal of custom light painting tools (various LED and xenon flashlights) he designed himself, Trevor Williams creates mesmerizing effects that must be seen to be believed. The Japan-based photographer and light painting pioneer produces individual light images, as well as group paintings with the collective he founded, Fiz-iks. Paying special attention to location, the group explores Japanese architecture to construct surprising narratives that meld the modern artistic technique with traditional landscapes. The photographs feature bright colorful spheres, neon cylinders, spastic light beams – each image revealing a mesmerizing pattern. Williams’ artistic decisions certainly complement the images, and the illuminated spaces are a stunning display of his meticulous skill.
Fiz-iks. 3D Geometric Light Graffiti Creates Mesmerizing Glow. Building Facades Of The Future Will Display Music And Video Art. The “Augmented Structures v1.1: Acoustic Formations / İstiklâl Caddesi” exhibition by Salon2 in Istanbul, Turkey, plays with sound, music, light, video, mathematics, visual arts and architecture for a new type of building and streetscape experience. Each of these disciplines is transformed into another, creating a multi-sensory experience on the “living canvas.” This interdisciplinary design provides a glimpse into what buildings might look like in the future. The 400m2 architectural installation featured on the side of the Yapı Kredi Cultural Centre, an urban landmark on one of Istanbul’s busiest streets. A large undulating frame was mounted onto the building, providing visitors with a dynamic 6-minute visual and auditory performance. The project brings together disparate disciplines like sound, architecture and the visual arts which influence one another to such a degree that it is impossible to separate them.
Check out the video below to see the full experience: Salon2. Mirror Installation Distorts Our Relationship With Public Spaces. Optical Illusion Street Art Installation Recreates City Streets. We don’t typically think about how architecture affects how we navigate a city or town. It’s such a naturalized part of the experience that we tend to ignore how restricted our movement can truly be. Alleyways, streets, grids, public transportation, skyscrapers, all exist within a very specific set of parameters that all people operate under when they inhabit or navigate a series of places. So would we be surprised if certain streets or pathways cropped up one day that were never there before? How would it affect how we see the layout of a city?
Deconstructing Ways by Isidro Blasco is an installation that creates the illusion of a new street being etched into the corner of two alleys. With the introduction of something entirely new, we become more aware of our surroundings. A better awareness of a city’s layout leads to a more creative relationship with its design. Deconstructing Ways. Typographic Optical Illusions Predict The Future Of Augmented Reality.
As Augmented Reality apps become more ubiquitous our dreams for the potential of the technology increase. Can you imagine a world where the the hovering social network information, travel information or map directions integrate seamlessly with the real world? Currently relegated to tablets and phones, it is difficult to imagine Augmented Reality (AR) transcending the level of novelty without divesting themselves from these trappings first. So while it might be some time until we realize our dreams of a truly augmented reality it is at least inspiring artists to play with the aesthetic and to apply it to the real world.
Tobi Tobsen has created a series of typographic art pieces that appear to be floating in the air. The art project plays with our expectations for the technology in a very analogue way, whetting our appetite for a future we haven’t quite reached yet. Tobi Tobsen. Be Your Own Souvenir! Mirrored Installation Invites You To Hang Off A Building [Pics] Mirrored Installation Invites You To Hang Off A Building [Pics] Cripplebush Ghost Tour. Local history by SMS2007 Candy Chang collaborated with Sarah Williams, Jennifer Kaminsky, Catherine Herdlick, Amanda Huron, and Michael Wilkerson to create the Cripplebush Ghost Tour, an interactive project that combines mobile technology, public space and neighborhood history. Over 200 stickers were placed in specific public locations in Williamsburg and Greenpoint in Brooklyn.
By texting the unique 4-digit code on the sticker, passersby immediately received an SMS with brief history about the person behind their named location, such as Edmund Driggs of Driggs Avenue, Patrick McCarren of McCarren Park, Jaime Campiz of Campiz Playground. Through both guided tours and self-guided experiences, pedestrians explored spaces in new ways and used their mobile devices to learn about an area originally called “Cripplebush” for the dense thickets that once dominated the landscape.

UN goals furthered From 2006-2008 Candy was involved with Global Studio, a program where international students, academics and professionals come together in one city for a month to learn from and collaborate with community organizations. Initiated by the UN Millennium Development Goals, the program has worked in Istanbul in 2005, Vancouver in 2006, and Johannesburg in 2007, 2008 and 2009.
Its goals are ambitious – collaboration with people from different disciplines and countries, theory and practice combined, and projects ranging in scale (three-week design-build projects to five-year riverfront plans) and physicality (better sewer drains to stronger networks of people and resources). It’s involved people from over 30 countries, 50 universities, and 10 disciplines, which greatly improves one’s perspective. View pdf of all panels.
