Lovely inflatable installation by Jimmy Kuehnle. I love the night shot, where all the light is coming from behind the huge tubes.
Check his website
mmm mmm mmm... great stuff with light and very very basic images. here he is.
thanks to Pierre-Laurent Cassière
Amazing work by Julien Maire.
the lcd' inside the projector are moving... and creating a very beautiful texture...
from his website: (go see the video there, it's much more clear than this...)
..The piece is based on a high reduction of the resolution and by the other way tries to "decompress" the image in a three dimensional space.
The projection is produced with a special projector using two black and white Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD). Both are in movement inside of the projector. The horizon line, or border, is physically cut on each lcd.( each LCD has been half-destructed in order to display only the upper or the lower side of the image).
The project is still in development, and is connected to my main research : adapt the cinema /video interface in order to express the properties of the subject.
from wikipedia:
Roman Signer (b. 1938 in Appenzell, Switzerland) is principally a visual artist who works in sculpture, installations photography, and video. He holds degrees from arts institutions in Switzerland and Poland. His work has been shown at galleries and museums in Europe, North America and Asia over the last thirty years. Signer is a 2008 finalist for the Hugo Boss Prize.
Signer’s "action sculptures" involve setting up, carrying out, and recording "experiments" or events that bear aesthetic results. Following carefully planned and strictly executed and documented procedures, the artist enacts and records such acts as explosions, collisions, and the projection of objects through space. Video works like
Stiefel mit Rakete
(Boot with Rocket) are integral to Signer’s performances, capturing the original setup of materials that self-destruct in the process of creating an emotionally and visually compelling event. Signer gives a humorous twist to the concept of cause and effect and to the traditional scientific method of experimentation and discovery, taking on the self-evidence of scientific logic as an artistic challenge. A recent example of his installation work was "Accident as sculpture" :
Unfall als Skulptur
(2008) in which Signer had a three-wheeled delivery car, loaded with water barrels, roll down an 11 m high ramp and up the other side. At the apex, the vehicle overturned and crashed to the ground.
The Anti Gravity lean:
The effect in the video when Jackson and the dancers lean forward a seemingly impossible distance was achieved using special harnesses with wires and magnets. It was desired to replicate this effect for Jackson's stage show, but it would have been more obvious and cumbersome to use wire harnesses in a live performance. Jackson and his team devised an alternative way to achieve the effect on stage. The props needed for their technique were patented in the United States by Jackson in 1993,[6] and consist of pegs that rise from the stage at the appropriate moment, and special shoes with ankle supports and cutouts in the heels which can slide over the pegs and be thereby attached to the stage temporarily. These allow the performers to lean without needing to keep their centers of gravity directly over their feet.
