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.

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.

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.

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.
Antony Gormley Antony Mark David Gormley est né le 30 août 1950 à Londres. Il étudie l’anthropologie, l’histoire et l’art au Trinity College de Cambridge puis part en Inde et au Sri Lanka pour s’initier au bouddhisme jusqu’en 1974. À son retour en Angleterre, il termine son cursus en 1979, puis expose pour la première fois à la Whitechapel Gallery en 1981. 30 ans de carrière plus tard, c’est certainement l’un des artistes anglais contemporains les plus reconnus. Il a d’ailleurs reçu le prestigieux Turner Prize en 1994 et est également membre de la Royal Academy depuis 2003.

Stone Field 07 /simple 1d linear polar field. 3D-printed sculpture, detail. Back in 2009, Italian designer Giuseppe Randazzo of Novastructura released a series of generative digital “sculptures” that depicted carefully organized pebbles and rocks on a flat plane. Fast forward to 2014, and technology has finally caught up with Randazzo’s original vision. Starting from 2009 project “Stone Fields”, some 3dmodels were produced from the original meshes. Watch the video above to see the sculptures up close, and you can see a few more photos over on Randazzo’s project site.

Sacred Space: New Technological Mandalas by Leonardo Ulian London-based artist Leonardo Ulian (previously) has completed a new body of work titled Sacred Space. Inspired by Hindu and Buddhist symbolism, Ulian continues his exploration of technology and spiritualism with these carefully sculpted mandalas created with soldered computer and radio components. Via Beers.Lambert: Ulian’s reflexive use of the geometrical mandala can also be seen as a nod to his ‘past-life’ as an technican, but through his application, Ulian divorces the electronic components from their origins, giving new life to these (now defunct) technological bits, creating a new type of hybridization that is equal parts spiritualization and contemporary critique: “We live in a society that worships electronic technology,” he states “both for necessity but also because it makes us feel better, not unlike its own new form of fashionable spirituality.” Of particular note in this solo show is an amazing little three-dimensial bonsai tree titled Centrica Bonsai.
Mirrored Light Sculpture Probes The Cosmic Mysteries Of Geometry Images courtesy of the artist When it comes to sculpture, Gaspar Battha thinks big. His artworks address concepts including the limitations of the mind (envisioned as a physics-defying robotic bird), and humankind's relationship with tools (realized through custom-made screws and screwdrivers). Patterns of Harmony, his Master-project at UdK Berlin, takes this line of inquiry one step further, using a projection-mapped light box to explore the geometric nature of the universe. A series of angled two-way mirrors forms the bulk of the lightbox, which Battha calls a "fractal of cubes." In fact, the stated purpose underlying Patterns of Harmony is even more ambitious than the search for a 4th dimension: Battha questions the "complexity of all of nature's components circulating in a never ending metamorphosis," and its parallel reflection of "the human mind interpreting information through the senses." Below, examine moments from Patterns of Harmony: Related:
