NRW: Tomás Saraceno. From June 22, 2013 until autumn 2014 (estimated)K21 STÄNDEHAUS Suspended more than 25 meters above the piazza of the K21 is Tomás Saraceno‘s gigantic installation in orbit. This steel wire construction spans the museum‘s vast glass cupola on three different levels. Positioned within this net structure, which encompasses altogether 2500 m², are half a dozen „spheres“ – inflated spheres having diameters up to 8.5 meters. Visitors have access to this transparent installation, and can move freely between the spheres on all three levels. in orbit resembles a surreal landscape, is reminiscent of a sea of clouds. This floating spatial configuration becomes an oscillating network of relationships, resonances, and synchronous communication. By virtue of its magnitude and radicality, in orbit has no precedent in Saraceno‘s oeuvre to date.

Western Australian Museum. National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation. The Museum Of Bad Art (MOBA) Local Projects And The Cleveland Museum Of Art Use New Tech To Connect The Classics. Museums must compete for attention in a second-screen world. One venue embracing the challenge is the Cleveland Museum of Art, which worked with Local Projects to design new interactive galleries. “We wanted the tech to be predicated on the art,” says Local Projects founder Jake Barton.
Here’s how they did it. Wall text provides basic details about pieces, but doesn’t always enable you to meaningfully connect with ancient statues, or to appreciate the technique involved in creating simple-seeming art. The main gallery has eight kiosks that can, among other things, scan your face and display works with similar-looking subjects, or let you create a Jackson Pollock via motion tracking.
As you go from exhibit to exhibit, you find that they’re often organized by chronology or style. A 40-foot screen displays every piece in the museum. By holding an iPad up to certain pieces, you’re presented with an overlay of information. Centre for International Light Art Unna: Start page. Dutchman Jan van Munster (Gorinchem, Netherlands, 1939) is one of the masters of light art in Europe. Since the 1970s, light has become an integral part of his sculptural repertoire.
Energy, more precisely opposite energies, are the central theme of his oeuvre. The first exhibition of Jan van Munster at the Centre for International Light Art Unna took place in 2000. Later, in 2005, the work "Ich (im Dialog)" was installed. "I" is one of the most important artistic formulas in Jan van Munster's work. Now the Centre for International Light Art brings the artist back to Unna with the retrospective exhibition "L ich T" , which was especially compiled for the museum.
