Rebeca Méndez and Jennifer Steinkamp participate in Responsive Environments Colloquium
Co-organized by Phillip Beesley and Rebeca Méndez: Responsive Environments Colloquium
November 20-21, 2009
Presented by : Waterloo Architecture, Social Innovation Group (SiG), University of Waterloo, University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), Society of Waterloo Architectural Graduates (SWAG)
Location: Waterloo Architecture, 7 Melville Street South, Cambridge, Ontario, Canada.
The Responsive Environments Colloquium aims to examine the potential of kinetic, responsive architecture. The gathering will encourage specialized development of enabling technologies, critical analysis, and defining imagery for interactive architectural structures. The researchers proposed for this exchange are specialized leaders from experimental art and architecture, mechatronics and software engineering, and environmental psychology.
The aim of this collaborative event is to develop dialogue between these disciplines, expanding the potential of common threads and translating this into practical implementation. The discussion will pursue strategies for integrating dynamic, responsive qualities into the built environment. A mechanical and generative approach to empathy is central to this work, expanding upon cultural history based on ‘dynamic’ and post-humanist paradigms, exploring renewed mutual relationships between human occupants and their surroundings.

Robert Bean – NSCAD, Halifax - Media artist, photographer, art theorist

Eddo Stern exhibition reviewed in Artforum
Eddo Stern
CHAPTER
Market Road Canton
October 23-November 29
Eddo Stern, has his first solo exhibition in the UK. The Tel Aviv born artist presents a visually dazzling array of alternative universes. References to Balinese shadow puppets and fantasy fiction (think Aslan, the golden lion from C. S. Lewis’s (Chronicles of Narnia) [1950-56], as well as indigo multiheaded dragons) meet and mingle with online avatars in Stern’s psychedelic sculptures and videos. The mechanical puppet Lotusman, 2007, is the first to greet viewers. This macho man’s visage floats on a bed of lotus-pink muscular limbs that flap like wings above green leaves. Casting giant, intensely hued moving shadows on a wall, this work evokes a mythical beast sailing menacingly through the air and re-creates the eerie glamour of bygone magic-lantern displays.
Mattia Casalegno will exhibit "Sounds of Complexity" at Harvestworks Digitial Media Arts Centre, NY
Mattia Casalegno and his italian collective Kinotek will exhibit a "Sounds of Complexity" video installation and give an artist talk on visualizing brainwaves at Harvestworks Digitial Media Arts Centre as part of Play With Fire festival, NY. The Kinotek collaborative have realized a complex audiovisual project at the border of neurosciences and audiovisual media in which the sound materials and the visual mappings are derived from the analogic recording of cerebral activities through an analogic elettroencephalograph (EEG) and corresponds to the discharges of billions of neurons situated in the sixth layer of human cerebral cortex.

"Strutture Dissipative" audiovisual installation at Perspectives 09 International Digital Arts Festival
University of Nevada, Reno
A site-specific audiovisual installation designed for the full-dome Planetarium environment at Fleischman Planetarium and Science Center. "Strutture "Dissipative" is a framework of audiovisual experiments
dealing with the notions of emergence and complexity. It's been inspired by the thoughts of the belgan chemist and researcher Ilya Prigogine who in the '70 studied the behaviors of complex systems as such as fluids and other thermodinamic systems and noted how from aparentely chaotic and instable systems order and stability can emerge.
"Strutture "Dissipative" is also an ongoing research on the implementation of particle systems and granular synthesis techniques within the max/msp/jitter environment that are been employed by the artist as custom tools in various live media performances and generative works.
