REALIDAD || REFLEJO

Animación 3d – PAL DVD – 6 min.

REALIDAD|| REFLEJO es una de las derivas posibles por el mundo virtual “Labyrinth City” https://enlaciutat.es/wordpress/?p=212

REALIDAD || REFLEJO es un corredor de espejos donde lo representado y su imagen especular se multiplican y confunden. Donde como en el caso de Alicia; detrás del espejo no se encuentra la realidad sino una nueva sucesión de simulacros.

REALIDAD||REFLEJO
3d animation – DVD PAL – 6 min.

REALIDAD ||REFLEJO is one of the multiple drifts (derives) trough the virtual world Labyrinth City.

It is a corridor of mirrors where the representation and its mirror image become a confuse multiplicity: A place where as it happens to Alicia, behind the mirror  there is not reality but a new succession of simulacra.

“New practices in urban art: The art as an interface of the city”

“New practices in urban art: The art as an interface of the city”

by Sandra Alvaro
Paper presented on the second workshop with Laboratoire Paragraphe – Université Paris 8

Abstract:

The ubiquity of computing on the daily life has been accomplished by the generalisation of the use of smart phones and other networked devices. This generalization has normalized the use of the interface. The super-workout for communicative energies of this interface, capable of finding contact throughout the entire world, has made
possible to perform a new procedural and moving territory beyond the geographical and local limits. The art that works on this new global and hyperurban situation, making use of the possibilities of communication and tracing of this new technologies, can be defined as Interactive Nomadic Art. This means that it takes place in a topological space and a complex reality.

I will introduce the label of Interactive Nomadic Art in relation to the “Art Nomade” pointed on the Deleuze and Guattary’s philosophy. After that, I will expose some artistic projects in relation with the different questions that the
urban computing space has initiated.

“Art and Locative Media: interaction on the hybrid space of the city”, on: DISTURBIS #9

 

“Art and Locative Media: interaction on the hybrid space of the city.”

By Sandra Alvaro

Published on:

DISTURBIS nº9, primavera 2011, ISSN: 1887-2786

 

Abstract:
The term Locative Media was first proposed by Karlis Kalnins in 2001 to designate an artistic test category for grouping the products and process generated in the Locative Media Lab. These Processes were focused on the uses and applications of that we call the new Geographical Panoptic.

This Panoptic was produced by the new technologies promoted during the spatial race. It consists on a global and abstract vision of the world that has reduced every corner of the terrestrial globe to a localizable magnitude, expressible as a coordinate.
This gives place to a fully know world affordable for anybody with a GPS. This world reduced to data has produced a hybrid space were the virtual space of data has become a continuum of the physical word were daily life takes place.

The art of Locative Media is a new way of interactive art that has been developed on the intersection of the data and the physical space. It places the interaction out of the flat screen for developing it in the entire urban space. It uses all the devices of surveillance and control of this Panoptic in a critical and poetical way. A subversive and tergiversated use that promotes a resignification of this space to make the huge semantic content that characterises the lived space come into the abstract representation.

Arte y Medios Locativos: Interacción en el espacio hibrido de la ciudad.

Por Sandra Alvaro Sanchez

publicado en: DISTURBIS nº9, primavera 2011, ISSN: 1887-2786

Abstract:

El término Locative Media fue acuñado en el año 2001 por Karlis Kalnins como categoría artística para designar los productos y procesos que se generaban en el Locative Media Lab. Procesos dirigidos a investigar los usos y aplicaciones de lo que aquí denominaremos el nuevo Panóptico Geográfico.
Este Panóptico, generado a partir de las nuevas tecnologías promovidas por la Carrera Espacial, consiste en una visión global y abstracta del mundo que ha reducido hasta el último rincón del planeta a una magnitud mensurable, localizable y expresable en coordenadas. Lo que ha dado lugar a un mundo enteramente conocido y a la mano de cualquiera que disponga de un dispositivo GPS. Este mundo reducido a datos y puesto a la mano ha producido un espacio hibrido en que el espacio virtual compuesto por estos datos se ha extendido como una continuación del mundo físico en que se desarrolla la vida cotidiana.

El arte de los Medios Locativos es una nueva forma de arte interactivo que se sitúa en la intersección entre estos dos espacios. Haciendo salir la interacción de la superficie plana de la pantalla para proponerla y desarrollarla en todo el espacio urbano. Planteándose la posibilidad de un uso crítico y poetizante de los dispositivos de vigilancia y control que acarrea todo este aparatage panóptico. Un uso subversivo y tergiversado del Panóptico que promueve la resignificación de este espacio interpretado haciendo entrar en la representación abstracta del espacio el basto contenido semántico que aporta el espacio vivido.

Imad Saleh : L’Art Hypermédia

Opening session at  Catmeeting III:

First Workshop with Laboratoire Paragraphe (Paris 8 and Cergy Pontoise Universities).

“Art numérique : Mythe ou réalité”

Imad Saleh : L’Art Hypermédia

10.00 AM   May 4th 2011

résumé:

Résumé tiré de l’article de Jean-Pierre Balpe sur l’art et l’hypermédia dans le livre “les hypermédias : conception et réalisations” éditeur Imad saleh, Hermès 2006.
Les hypermédias seraient « tout système avec lequel l’usager interagit par désignation directe sur une représentation dudit système rendue perceptible par différents moyens (texte, image, son…), Il me semble cependant que, bien qu’ils utilisent explicitement le terme « système », ils n’insistent pas assez sur la particularité, à ce niveau technique, des hypermédias : un hypermédia est en effet avant tout un système, c’est-à-dire un ensemble de variables, et donc de paramètres liés. Dans les plus complexes d’entre eux, l’action — qu’elle soit le fait externe au système d’un interacteur ou celui d’une communication entre systèmes dans des ensembles modélisés comportant des variables communicantes, ce que j’appelle personnellement des interactions pour les distinguer de l’interactivité — sur l’une des variables du système concerné a, ou peut avoir, des incidences sur le plus grand nombre des variables, donc de leurs paramètres. Un hypermédia définit donc ainsi un ensemble d’informations dynamique plus ou moins ouvert sur son environnement, que celui-ci soit humain ou technique. En ce sens, un hypermédia est rarement dans un état stable et propose constamment des visibilités différentes.
Les nombreux travaux d’artiste portant sur les mondes immersifs virtuels ne relèvent pas d’un autre fantasme : les mondes imaginaires et le monde réel s’interpénètrent au point que celui qui pénètre dans ces « installations » perçoit dans le monde imaginaire des sensations qui relèvent du monde réel. Ce que l’on appelle la scène digitale (ou scène numérique) n’a pas d’autres finalités qui projette des acteurs ou des danseurs vivants dans des mondes imaginaires. La seule différence étant alors que le spectateur n’est pas intégré lui-même dans la virtualité de ces mondes mais devient témoin de l’interpénétration du réel et de l’imaginaire. La place du spectateur devient ainsi un élément essentiel de la création numérique car elle n’est plus, comme dans la relation classique de communication artistique, assignée par une tradition, mais devient elle-même un enjeu d’expression .

Sandra Alvaro:“Locative Media. Georeferencing and the collective utterance”

Comunication at Catmeeting III:

First Workshop with Laboratoire Paragraphe (Paris 8 and Cergy Pontoise Universities).

“Art numérique : Mythe ou réalité”

Sandra Alvaro: “Locative Media. Georeferencing and the collective utterance”

 

12.00 PM   May 4th 2011

Locative Media Sandra Alvaro

“It is quite possible that this decade of the 2000s will turn out to be about the Physical”

 

“The artists have a new challenge: placing a user inside a space filled with dynamic, contextual data with which the user can interact”.

Lev Manovich: The Poetics of Augmented Space: Learning from Prada (2002)

 

Abstract:

New technologies have produced a new representation of the space. It consists in a data universe captured and interpreted in real time by a panoptic eye, that shapes our reality in an understandable and operable way.

The rapid introduction of mobile computing and network communications have made this data universe broadly available and have generated an augmented daily reality. The hybrid space between our physical space and the data flows around it.

The context-aware computing that produces the hybrid space relies primarily on two types of information: physical location and user identity. Such that the augmented reality is always a space under surveillance.

Under surveillance the city has been transformed into a Panorama, a theoretical simulacrum that excludes the practices produced on the space.

Locative Media uses the transcontextual linkage between the map and physical reality to incorporate the displacement of journey and to restore the marks of the appropriated habited space. To operate on the dynamic data flows that traverse our space for incorporate the performative utterance that is produced walking on the street.
