KINETICA ART FAIR 2011: Saturday Programme

Talks & Screenings

 

Each year Kinetica curates and collaborates with numerous organisations and individuals to create a vibrant and engaging programme of talks, screenings, performances and events. The theme for the 2011 fair was 'Body, Brain and Consiousness' and featured performances, talks and panels from our exhibitors and visiting experts, academics and artists from all over the world.

 

10.00 – Musion Academy screenings

11.00 – Skin Graph – Personality Inscribed
Both the physical and the emotional factors of personality are inscribed into Skin Graph’s “second skin” – a material that can displace and resonate, a mapping of memory and potential. Skin Graph offers a creative platform for individuals to upload their digital representations.

12.00 – Susan Aldworth – Scribing The Soul
Susan Aldworth’s art explores the nature of consciousness. Her experience of watching her brain live during a diagnostic brain scan triggered an ongoing fascination with the relationship between the physical brain and the sense of self. Her recent exhibition ‘Scribing The Soul’ is the result of her tracking consciousness over the past seven years.

13.00 – Jean-François Noubel – Art in a post monetary era. How does consciousness and its manifestation evolve?
‘The Transitioner’ is an organisation on collective intelligence embodying the transition between the ‘old’ conventional world, and the next one to come. Jean-François Noubel is committed to developing the next monetary system, based on the flow of “free” currency.

14.00 – Ioannis Michalous – Sky Cloning
Sky Cloning is a pioneering art & science research project that aims to create weightless, ethereal works of art using the sculptural medium of silica aerogel. This vaporous and fragile substance breaks the conventional boundaries of the space it inhabits as it has no geometrical form.

15.00 – Adam Lilien – Holo’Qubism Hyperclassical Art
Conceived to encompass a wide range of art styles and experimentation, Lilien uses the tools of art to research many areas of science and mathematics. Through an inquiry into the nature of life itself, his works are rendered to express alchemical living presences and living lifetronic ecologies. He understands that consciousness arises according to the conditions of resonance and harmonics.

16.00 – Tine Bech – Playful Interactions
Tine Bech’s work is concerned with how we engage with our immediate environment. The work is intentionally accessible and aims to create experiences of immersion and play using interactive electronics and location tracking technology.

17.00 – onedotzero screening – robotica
A selection of films on the ethics, social effects and pure fun of a world shared with robots or androids, from spy messengers and declarations of love to extraterrestrial robotic invasions of earth.

Performances from 18.00 to 20.00

Holotronica – Live holographic audiovisual performance
Last year’s Musion winner, Stuart Warren-Hill, has been working on a new album and a new performance which will be seen for the first time at Kinetica Art Fair 2011. Holotronica is the art of electronic music combined with computer-generated holography, and at Kinetica this will have the added impact of on-stage performers utilising the Musion system.
