Top 18 des plus belles réalisations de shadow art (aka. les Maîtres des Ombres…)
Faire d'un amas de ferraille a priori informe un bateau ou un couple, en projection sur un mur, c'est possible. Cela demande juste un peu plus de temps que de faire un lapin avec ses mains. Vous aussi vous avez mis 25 ans à maîtriser la forme du lapin en ombres chinoises ? Certains artistes se sont spécialisés dans la transformation d’ombres en œuvres d’art juste en assemblant les objets les plus improbables et en mettant la bonne lumière au bon endroit. Un top qui, à défaut de vous donner du courage dans vos futures tentatives de jeux d’ombres, vous bluffera et vous assurera que finalement, jouer avec la lumière c’est un truc de pro. Attention derrière vous c’est affreux ! Source : buzzfeed Billet initialement publié sur Topito, top réalisé par Lenah Related:  Sculptures et installations

A Super-Sized Cocoon Made of Packing Tape That You Can Curl Up In | Wired Design Numen/For Use's tape installations are like a massive cocoon humans can crawl through. Numen/For Use They create the pieces by wrapping tape around pre-existing architectural elements. From there, it’s really just a matter of following the natural pattern of the space. They use a wider form of packaging tape. Humans can crawl through openings in the tape. Most of the structures can easily hold 15 people. On any given structure, Katzler estimates they’ll use six to nine miles worth of tape. <div class="slide" data-slide-id="631405" ><img title="" alt="" width="650px" src=" data-image-width="1000" data-image-height="750" /><p class="caption">Numen/For Use's tape installations are like a massive cocoon humans can crawl through. Numen/For Use’s best projects often begin with a simple question: Can you crawl on it or in it? As the tape structure became thicker, a bold, amorphic form began to take shape.

Intersections par Anila Quayyum Agha L’artiste américaine Anila Quayyum Agha, qui est née et a grandi au Pakistan, nous livre cette magnifique oeuvre baptisée « Intersections » ayant le pouvoir de transformer une simple pièce en un palais féérique. Cette oeuvre réalisée avec des panneaux de bois sculpté est inspirée de l’Alhambra, qui est pour l’artiste, un vrai symbole de mixité entre l’art, la culture orientale et occidentale.

Studio Olafur Eliasson Variable 4 Variable 4 is an outdoor sound installation that translates weather conditions into musical patterns in real time. Using meteorological sensors connected to a custom software environment, the weather itself acts as conductor, navigating through a map of twenty-four specifically-written movements. Every aspect of the piece, from broad harmonic progressions down to individual notes and timbres, is influenced by changes in the environment: wind speed, rainfall, solar radiation, humidity, tropospheric variance, temperature, and more. The resultant composition is performed over an indeterminate duration through eight loudspeakers integrated into the landscape.

le peuple qui manque - a people is missing Vocal Vibrations: Expressive Performance for Body-Mind Wellbeing Tod Machover, Charles Holbrow, Elena Jessop, and Rebecca Kleinberger. Vocal Vibrations explores the relationships between human physiology and the resonant vibrations of the voice. The voice is an instrument everyone possesses. It is incredibly individual, infinitely expressive, and intimately linked to the physical form. In collaboration with Le Laboratoire in Paris and The Dalai Lama Center at MIT, we are examining the hypothesis that the singing voice can influence mental and physical health through physicochemical phenomena and in ways consistent with contemplative practices. We are developing a series of multimedia experiences, from solo "meditations" to group "singing circles," that explore possible emotional, cognitive, and physical transformations, all in an enveloping context of immersive music. We premiered a vocal art installation at Le Laboratoire in Paris, where it will run from March 28 - September 29, 2014 before coming to Cambridge in the fall of 2014.

Page d’accueil Bipolar | 7,83 HZ de Véronique Béland Cette oeuvre cherche à reproduire les résonances de Schumann, un phénomène atmosphérique naturel et permanent fait de pics spectraux dans le domaine des extrêmement basses fréquences (ELF) du champ électromagnétique terrestre. Ceux-ci se propagent autour de la Terre sous la forme d’ondes, et comprennent une fréquence fondamentale (7.83 Hz) et quatre harmoniques principales situées entre 14 et 34 Hz. En faisant coïncider ce phénomène avec les recherches en neurosciences, on constate que ce sont les mêmes fréquences qui déterminent le rythme cérébral chez l’être humain: la fondamentale est identique aux longueurs d’onde Alpha émises par le cerveau par état de relaxation profonde ou de méditation, alors que les harmoniques correspondent à la gamme des ondes Beta, produites lors d’une activité cognitive intense. Il y avait d’abord le désir de voir ou d’entendre des choses qui ne sont normalement pas présentes aux sens; l’obsession de ressentir que le vide n’est pas rien.

Anthony Howe's Kinetic Wind Sculptures Pulse And Hypnotize | Video The Creators Project linked up with Anthony Howe, an Eastsound, WA-based painter and sculpture artist to highlight his work in the medium of surreal kinetic wind sculpture that are initially designed in 3D software. "I was bored with everything being static in my visual world," Howe told us. In other words, he believes sculptures don't have to be stoic designs that are lifeless. Howe creates art that lives and moves with nature, and his metal cut-outs give the impression of dancing, real-world screensavers. The artist walked us through the workflow of how his pieces go from 3D models that he designs on his desktop to CAD designs made through Rhinoceros 3D. To make sculptures as hypnotic as Howe, you have to be a somewhat odd fellow and think big, think weird. Get enlightened by Anthony Howe first with GIFs of his kinetic sculptures, but pair the vortex-like visuals with these quotes about art commerce, creation and innovation. "It shocked me that my art became somewhat viral online.
