“In Moon Score (1975-1979), Hitoshi Nomura photographed the moon on film marked with five lines (like staff paper). The project was supposedly inspired by Nomura spotting the moon moving behind telephone wires. In an early exhibition of the piece, visitors began to hum the “score”, and later exhibitions featured a CD with a string quartet or chorus performing the score. Later Nomura made a similar series called ‘birds’ photographing just birds.” You can listen to the music here.

Ellero Dual Death and Visual Ecosystem

Ellero Dual Death and Visual Ecosystem (Duplice morte Ellero ed ecosistema visivo) is a project by Riccardo Arena:

“Project B – “Ellero Dual Death and Visive Ecosystem “ (DM) has been developed through a narrative scheme built on the reorganization of a series of investigations which, through visual and textual anatomy, reflect on the concepts of identity, individuation and equality at a historical and symbolic level. The logic of the narrative is structured through an “archive paradigm”, within which, studies, journals, notes and views are rearranged in a kaleidoscopic game of substitution and rearrangement of parts.
The project foresees the making of a video 30/40 minutes long associated with a series of art works made with different techniques and a book that will state the stages of the development of the project.”

Personal Internet Cache Archive

Personal Internet Cache Archive is a project by Evan Roth:

“Internet cache: “a mechanism for the temporary storage of web documents” (Wikipedia)

An ongoing study of archived images collected passively through my everyday Internet usage. Internet cache is visualized using off the shelf screen saver and image viewing software to produce archival prints and videos. Each print is a unique archive of cached images from a specific date.”

Ai Weiwei work from Study of Perspective:

“…Each picture show the artist’s hand making a one-finger gesture, again rude, at a variety of places familiar and unfamiliar. The equal-opportunity dissing encompasses power sites like Tiananmen Square and the White House, but also, intriguingly, Long Island City, Queens. Together with the history-infused sculpture, the antic pictures give a sense of the versatility of an artist whose role has been the stimulating, mold-breaking one of scholar-clown.”

Alterations

Afdruk01 600x445

Works by Jasper Elings:

“…With sources originating from digital readymades or appropriated video, each artist modifies, redirects and redistributes the footage using a wide array of alterations, from simple editing to more detailed and complex reconstructions. The digital realm casts a dark shadow over the initial intent of images and our preconceptions of their meaning and usage into a new alternative mode of existence where the source becomes either a catalyst or an added layer of a whole new work.”

Be Your Own Souvenir

Be Your Own Souvenir project by Blablabla:

“This proposal aims to connect street users, arts and science, linking them to under-laying spaces and their own realities. The installation was enjoyed during two weekends in January 2011 by the tourists, neighbours of La Rambla and citizens of Barcelona, a city that faces a trade-off between identity and gentrification, economic sustainability and economic growth.

This shapes through a technological ritual where the audience is released from established roles in a perspective exchange: spectator-performer, artist-tourist, observer-object. 

The user becomes the producer as well as the consumer through a system that invites him/her to perform as a human statue, with a free personal souvenir as a reward: a small figure of him/herself printed three-dimensionally from a volumetric reconstruction of the person generated by the use of three structured light scanners (kinect).

The project mimics the informal artistic context of this popular street, human sculptures and craftsmen, bringing diverse realities and enabling greater empathy between the agents that cohabit in the public space.”
