ART INTERACTS
For more than a decade artists experiment with new media to create art which explores its existence with the viewer‘s participation. In this post I would like to show different type of artistic experiments which stretch the boundaries of relevant media with a large and contained audience, on the street exploring actual and virtual tourism, two photographers using a live blog to share and explore blindness and photography, and experimenting with social media like Facebook and YOUTUBE.
Enjoy…
TaxiLink Project (by Lila Chitayat and Alon Chitayat )is an interactive installation which enables users to experience an authentic distant taxi ride. Sitting in the static TaxiLink booth, the passengers join a live tour in and around the old city of Jerusalem, experiencing a personal interaction with a real-life taxi driver. Through live video and audio transmitting from the driving cab , the passenger can now experience a genuine back seat ride of Jerusalem and its breath taking surroundings.
THRUYOU by Kutiman. Kutiman is a brilliant musician who edits different YOUTUBE music videos made by common people and makes it his own music. With great imagination he combines little pieces of sound from YouTube, using social media with all its hidden treasures to make excellent music and funny music videos. No words can describe it, just take a look and listen:
Placement / Displacement (by Edo Paulus and Luna Maurer) is a model in which people simulate the logic of a computer system. This living model consists of entities (spectators) that are bound by rules. When the rules cause the individual entities to react on each other, a whole comes into existence that is constantly in motion.
PHOTOTALK is a project of two photographers – Laetitia Boulud and Alex De Jong, who discuss each other’s photographs. They develop a joint body of work named: ‘Seeing Is Touching’. The main focus of their joint work is the interplay between seeing and not seeing in their photographic practice:
Laetitia Boulud can see, Alex De Jong is blind.
COMMENT LIKE SHARE (Facebook art) - During one week artists Alice Schwab & Sara Bomans visualized the Facebook profile of the exhibition-visitor and their mutual connections.
It is a social mapping of that precise week; COMMENT-LIKE-SHARE becomes a report about friends and their connections, the profile of invisible and hidden links. A growing wall, created by the user and inviting privacy to share.
