Significado paisajes | intolight Eine umlaufende 360°-Wandprojektion ermöglicht ein immersives Erleben und erstaunliche sensorische Illusionen. Die Besucher werden in Sinneslandschaften im Raum erfasst und können durch ihre Präsenz und ihre Bewegungen den Raum gestalten. Eigenheiten von historischen Stilrichtungen in Kunst und Design werden visuell und akkustisch aufgegriffen und können nun vom Besucher kontempliert und spielerisch interpretiert werden. Das Leipziger Museum für Angewandte Kunst und Design hat eine bewegte Geschichte. 1874 gegründet, 1926 Umzug in ein neues Gebäude namens Grassimuseum, 1943 stark zerstört, ab 2001 umfangreich saniert. Die Wiedergeburt des Museums begann 2007 mit der Fertigstellung der ersten von drei Dauerausstellungen und wurde am 4.März 2012 mit der feierlichen Eröffnung der dritten abgeschlossen. Es ist etwas Besonderes, wenn noch lebende Künstler und Designer schon zu Lebzeiten prominent in einem Museum ausgestellt werden.
Animated GIFs Overlay Surreal Scenes On Historic Images [Pics] Visual artist and filmmaker Bill Domonkos’ most recent work sees posts of GIFs to his Tumblr that combine scenes and imagery using special effects and editing. Domonko places animated imagery on top of static archival images and film footage ensuring it comes from a refreshingly different angle using manipulation to experience a whole new form of GIF art. Inspired by the obscure world of cinema, his mostly black and white work includes a still X-ray with a man doing pull-ups off its ribs and a jockey guiding his race horse through a bathroom sink.

Lo scultore Byles vive per un anno nei boschi e “scolpisce” la foresta incantata. Il video Onion Skin by @AntiVJ - Re-composition of time and space using perspective Created by Olivier Ratsi, an artist on the ANTIVJ visual label, Onion Skin is a new immersive installation comprised of two walls, positioned at right angles and augmented by a projection and a 5.1 sound broadcast. The experience of the installation is based on a very specific point of view, a precise position from which a new dimension is revealed to the audience by anamorphosis. Onion Skin is a graphical work about the re-composition of time and space through a game of perspectives, both of the exhibition space itself and that of the projection canvas. Built around a progressive structure, made up of 4 parts lasting 14 minutes in total, the piece plays on the principle of repetition and scale to create a physical and hypnotic experience that opens doors onto the hidden and untouchable. Olivier used mainly After Effects for this project. Concept & visual content: Olivier Ratsi Music: Thomas Vaquié Management & production: Nicolas Boritch Project Page | AntiVJ

Tate Gallery Unleashes Night Robots To Livestream Art London art gallery Tate Britain, in partnership with design studio The Workers, will soon be giving art enthusiasts a chance to access the gallery at night via a team of remote-controlled robots that will roam the gallery at night and livestream the art pieces. Art enthusiasts can skip the crowds of gallery visitors during the day and book a time slot for them to access the art gallery at night through the remote-controlled robots. The robots are fitted with lights and a camera and are connected to a website where users will be able to view the art work displayed at the gallery. Users will be able to steer the robots and direct them around the paintings and exhibits — enabling the users to view and appreciate the gallery’s collection without any obstruction. The project was created by The Workers as their entry into the inaugural IK Prize, a Tate-sponsored competition for digitally innovative projects that can “enhance public enjoyment of art.” Tate Britain
See Your Favorite Literary Classics Made Over As Pulp Fiction You can't necessarily judge a book by its cover, but you can tell a lot about the content from it. For instance, when a certain font is paired with an illustrated character portrait featuring a dangling cigarette and/or a dangerous dame, clearly you are holding a pulpy detective novel from the 1930s. Judging by a new imprint, however, it might also be Robinson Crusoe. Pulp the Classics is a recent line of books that retrofits literature's best-known works with covers of pulp novels, some of them featuring recognizable actors of different eras. "It was a way to appeal to fans of the old pulp cover art, but also to use humor to engage with a new audience for great literature," Mann says. The selection process for the books is an evolving philosophy. "The sort of uptight, haughty Englishness of the period and genre is easy and fun to subvert," the artist says. In order to make the covers, Mann first finds a visual reference online. Have a look through more of the covers in the slides above.
[Video] Jim Campbell's Sculptural LED Light Installations Even the Lumiére Brothers would glow over the work of artist and light engineer, Jim Campbell. The prolific pioneer of patchwork bulb-wiring's career spans three decades, and his work keeps on getting better—the artist's newest works have been called "consummate" and "transformative" by Art Daily after their debut this month at Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery. It goes without saying that the mastery of his specific genre of low resolution re-imagings, communicated through programmed bulbs and LEDs, is a practice thirty years in the making. Good thing he's got a retrospective show coming up. Rhythms of Perception, the artist's first major exhibition in a New York museum, brings a survey spanning his career in contemporary art to the Museum of the Moving Image on March 20, from his earliest pieces to his project in Madison Square Park and his new work, showcased in our documentary on the luminary (above!). Campbell's installation at San Diego Airport. Says Campbell, "Light is a meta-thing.
