The Panoramic Wifi Camera takes ‘pictures’ of spaces illuminated by wireless radio signals, in much the same way that a traditional camera takes pictures through visible light. The work is a powerful example of how artists are creating new methods of visualising the intangible and atemporal environment which we exist within.
A Parallel Image is an electronic camera obscura. This media-archaeological, interactive sculpture is based on the fictive assumption that the contemporary principle of electronically transmitting moving images, namely by breaking them down into single images and image lines, was never discovered.
The Optofonica Capsule creates a futuristic context for experiencing moving image and sound. This highly technologically augmented audiovisual space suggests a future whereby our existing passive tropes of experiencing moving image and sound, have been upgraded substantially.
The installation features a series of Paparazzi Bots, each a tech-hybrid of camera and cameraman, which subtly stalks exhibition visitors. They seek one thing, which is to photograph these visitors, and make themselves famous.
The Invisible Stain is the third installment of Brazilian artist Alice Miceli’s ongoing Chernobyl Project. For transmediale.10, this third presentation will present a completed negative series from the final, decisive stage of the work.
This year transmediale and CTM are cooperating more closely then ever with a series of jointly organised events starting 2 February 2010. Collaborative concerts will take place on each night of transmediale.10, featuring some of the most important figures working within music and sound today, including Charlemagne Palestine, Ryoji Ikeda, Thomas Köner, Atom TM, FM3 and others.
