Emilio Gomariz

Some pieces made this year, Emilio Gomariz.
The GIF above is called T/001, is a pixel based generative transition between RGB colors, it's originally displayed through tile repetition filling the whole page as you can see here. See more;

RGB Landscapes, 2013

http://emiliogomariz.net/rgbl/

RGB Landscapes is a GIF series containing 52 pieces featuring horizontal RGB lines which are animated horizontally creating different moire effects.

1PXW, 2013

http://emiliogomariz.net/1pxw/

1PXW combines web and GIF allowing the user to create a horizontal landscape formed of 1px width animated GIFs using the menu to choose between the different (15) sets and to pop up them by moving the cursor over the little black surface, where Y = changes time interval and X = keeps same time

HR URL01, 2013

http://emiliogomariz.net/hrurl01/

HR URL01 creates an animated horizontal composition which works through vertical repetition of any image URL inserted as source then is possible to change the height of from 10px to 1px.

Random Rainbow, 2013

http://csh.bz/rr/

Random Rainbow is a collaborative piece between Emilio Gomariz & Chris Shier made for DigitArt exhibition curated by BRIGHT at Centre Pompidou. The piece was featured through Pompidou's internal WIFI connection at Studio 13/16 during the show (June 29 - August 5), now the piece is already online at http://csh.bz/rr/, it has different behavior on mobile devices as it allows the multitouch feature, as you can see in the video below. 

ii URL02. 2013

http://emiliogomariz.net/iiurl02/

ii URL02 works through interactive (1px height) horizontal distortion, the user can insert any image URL such as GIF, JPEG or PNG, play with and share the customized URL as the example below would be http://emiliogomariz.net/iiurl02/?url=http://computersclub.org/draw/collection/CC_1004.png . A piece finished because of some great help from Chris Shier too.

Jennifer Juniper Stratford

Three great video works by Jennifer Juniper Stratford, who experiments with video using obsolete television studio equipment, analog mixers, and video synthesizers which are often mixed with modern computers in search of making new discoveries in the potential of media, as Jennifer describes.

MICROCHIP REVOLUTION, 2013

Pablo Valbuena

Two new works by Pablo Valbuena who has always kept one of the cleanest minimalist style working through videoprojection on architecture, recently Pablo made time tilings [stuk] consisting in four site-specific interventions at Artefact festival in STUK Kunstencentrum. Leuven, 2013. 

The other new work called chrono-graphy [max estrella 2013-2010] is a site and time specific project using black paint on walls, floors and ceilings at Max Estrella Gallery in Madrid, 2013. See more;

time tilings [stuk], 2013

"Architecture is judged by eyes that see, by the head that turns, and the legs that walk. Architecture is not a synchronic phenomenon but a successive one, made up of pictures adding themselves one to the other, following each other in time and space, like music."

chrono-graphy [max estrella 2013-2010]

chrono- : time (from gr. khronos)

-graphy : process of writing, drawing, representing or recording (from gr. graphia)

"The outlines of the works presented in previous exhibitions are drawn on the surfaces of the gallery, visualizing the memory of the space and shaping a time-based cartography."

International Teletext Art Festival 2013

Black & White by LIA

International Teletext Art Festival 2013 will end next September 15, it's being displayed in Berlin at ARD Hauptstadtstudiohttp://www.ard-hauptstadtstudio.de/ exhibition space, but it can be seen also though original teletext pages such as in ARD Text from page 850, ORF TELETEXT from page 470 and SWISS TELETEXT pages 750-764 on SRF 1, RTS 1 and RSI 1.
ITAF includes this year great works from Max Capacity, Cordula Ditz, Daniel Egg, Dragan Espenschied, Dan Farrimond, Goto80, Kathrin Günter, Juha van Ingen, Manuel Knapp, John Lawrence, Marc Lee, LIA, Raquel Meyers, Seppo Renvall, Jarkko Räsänen and UBERMORGEN, and a jury formed by Paul B. Davis, Voin de Voin and Rosa Menkman.
Into the post there are only two geometric and abstract based series I like from LIA and Juha van Ingen, but check out all the works at www.teletextart.com. See more;

"Considering that teletext has been used by millions of people daily during its 40 years of existence, it has so far remained a relatively unexplored territory for artistic creation. Ever since it was launched by the BBC in 1973, there have been several serious efforts to open up teletext for art but even if teletext has had a steady stream of fans within the artistic community, including some well-known names such as the Jodi artist collective, it has never gained the status it deserves as an art form. Now that High Definition has become established as a standard and the race towards crisp images has slowed down, a growing number of artists have returned to the basic structures of electronic art. This can be seen as the main reason for the revival of teletext in this context. Other phenomena explaining the sudden interest in teletext art, especially among young artists, is the retro factor. The minimal aesthetics and limited technical possibilities make teletext a unique medium and also an interesting challenge for artists: To make teletext pages a specific file format and editor are needed. A teletext page can be perceived as a grid of 24 rows and 40 columns. To change the colours of the graphics, text and background or to add a blink effect, a control character needs to be inserted. Each time a control character is placed it uses up one space in the grid, which then appears black. The artworks can be viewed with teletext editors or made into animated images but the true forum for teletext art is of course teletext itself. A group of experts (Paul B. Davis, Voin de Voin and Rosa Menkman) will select one of the participating artists to receive the Teletext Art Prize.You too can vote for your favourite artwork by SENDING A POSTCARD more info about voting here.

The festival opens on August 15th in Berlin at the ARD Hauptstadtstudio exhibition space were the ITAF works will be displayed untill the 15th September and continues in Filmkunstbar Fitzcarraldo with some program. The following day ITAF continues with a Teletext Cocktailparty in Musterzimmer Showroom for Contemporary Art. > info on opening program, schedule and locations ITAF2013 will also be in the program of Ars Electronica Festival , Linz, Austria, 5.9.-9.9.2013

The International Teletext Art Festival is a FixC cooperative project www.fixc.fi made in collaboration with ARD Text www.ard-text.de, ORF TELETEXT teletext.orf.at and Swiss TXT www.teletext.ch." - www.teletextart.com.

Black & White by LIA

www.liaworks.com

"In the five works that LIA created for the teletext art festival she uses the single pixel as basic building blocks. The images play on the one hand with the idea of algorithms, by varying the distances between lines and pixels following algorithmically defined patterns; and on the other hand with the intense contrast between black and white elements demanded by the limitations of the technology. In four of the five works the teletext "flash" command is used to provide a hierarchical order of the elements without using animation as such. A clear boundary is formed between the permanent (static) and impermanent (dynamic) elements; this boundary appears and disappears as the blinking effect plays out. If the entire image were always visible, ie if there was no blink effect, the dynamic elements would be lost amongst the static elements."

The Tale of Tomorrow by Juha van Ingen

The work by Juha van Ingen for ITAF2013 was inspired by 'Sunset' a painting by J.M.W. Turner

Don Slepian

Don Slepian made Sunflower Geranium in 1983 a video compilation of live performances showing different visual effects created through a custom array of specialized hardware and software to mix synthesized video imagery and original electronic music for a live audience. One of my favorite parts of Sunflower Geranium is at the end where there are several short animations working through pixel based geometric shapes, Slepian explains to Rhizome how he produced them; "is the output of one of my original CEEMAC scores in which I attempt to create texture and dimension using diffraction patterns and chroma shifting. In Apple II "Hi-Res" mode I was working with a 280px by 192px screen, 57 thousand pixels in all. A far cry from the 2.0736 million pixels we take for granted in standard 1080p video frames." 

Into the post you can see these short animations as animated GIFs but I highly recommend to watch the whole piece and read an interesting interview with Don Slepian about the process of at Rhizome. See more;

Liquid Vehicle Transmitter by Brenna Murphy

Liquid transistor resonancy valley, 2013 - Archival pigment print mounted to Dibond

Brenna Murphy's new exhibition "Liquid Vehicle Transmitter" will be at YBCA (San Francisco) till next September 8, a show curated by Ceci Moss.

"Brenna Murphy begins each new work with a digital image file and proceeds to manipulate it across multiple applications—Photoshop, Blender, After Effects, and more—to create a unique, artificial aesthetic. Patterns recur at various scales, imbuing her structures and environments with a mesmerizing, hallucinatory effect. We are invited to negotiate our own place within this realm, and sync in." - Ceci Moss. See more;

"Recalling the kinds of interactions with digital screens that have now become second nature—zooming, clicking, scrolling—Murphy’s video games, mindbending prints, websites, and intricate installations require us to physically, mentally, and visually navigate a terrain. The artist often refers to the structure of the labyrinth as a central concept across her multidisciplinary output, and its logic is a major factor in dictating the viewer’s orientation within a work. […]

Murphy’s YBCA exhibition, Liquid Vehicle Transmitter, seems to offer up yet another form, the emergent labyrinth. It transports the visitor to an alien universe where obsessively detailed compositions morph and slide into one another. Like the strange, shifting interiors found in the video game exhibited in this show, Nightscape Navigator, new things appear as you move forward. The path is never set, but seems to reconstitute itself afresh as you take each next step. […]

Like all of Murphy’s work, her new installation emergent entity chant array seeks an attunement with the viewer. Dizzyingly intricate, it permits multiple entry points on the visual, physical, and sonic registers. Murphy’s interest in audience engagement also informs her involvement in two different art collectives, MSHR and Oregon Painting Society. These groups use unique handmade electronic instruments to experiment with performance, sound, sculpture, and installation. They transform the surrounding environment into another domain, bringing about transcendent happenings that test the audience’s sense of reality." - Ceci Moss, Assistant Curator of Visual Arts

Installation

Gemis Luciani

"Gemis Luciani manipulates, de-composes and re-assembes common objects such as design magazines, phone books and 3D architectural renderings, he reconfigures them in newly built systems of shapes and surfaces. His collages and spatial, large scale installations are meticulously created, and rely on a strong minimalist aesthetic." See more;

Marginal Compositions, 2013

magazine on dibond with frame / 40cm × 50cm  x 5cm

"Marginal Compositions is a project in development centered on the investigation of a marginal space’s aesthetic qualities. The works are realized with various magazines. Every magazine’s page is folded in a way to erase the textual element of the previous page and to leave only the margin visible. The compositions are produced by repeating this action until the magazine’s surface is completely covered. Every work is a representative but not definitive image documenting this kind of space’s expressive potential."

Models, 2010

magazine on dibond / 40cm × 60cm  x 3cm

"Models is the title of a series of collages created by systematically folding fashion, design, music and architecture magazines. Each "model' represents a typology of movement within the enclosed layout of the magazine. Each page is folded upon the other so as to hide the text  of the previous page. This forms a flow of visual elements, a series of fragments that articulate vertically on the entire surface of the magazine. “Models” is a methodology for the construction of an image which interacts with the spatial organization of paper-based communication through a different compositional model."

Piece of Space, 2011 -13

phone book / 40cm × 30cm x 18cm

“Piece of space” is a research project on the relationship between word and image in the visual representation of urban spaces. The works are realized using telephone books, cut and fixed to the wall.

Flexible Shapes, 2013

 telephone directory of businesses / 40cm × 20cm x 10cm

"Flexible Shapes is a research project about a sculpture’s morphological flexibility,  made of a series of 10 pieces realized inposing an intervention onto a numer of Yellow Pages books. The works are modified after every public exhibition. The work’s transformation, the shape’s durability and its persistence in time are all defined by the exhaustion of the formal possibilities offered by their pages’ sharp cut. The works are exhibited as plastic temporary configurations of an object, until they reach a more permanent sculptural definition."
