I Am Open Cv. The Augmented Art Of Jeremy Bailey

A native of Toronto, 'funny man' Jeremy Bailey is a visual artist working primarily in electronic media who has been described by Filmmaker magazine as 'a one-man revolution on the way we use video, computers and our bodies to create art' and as often confidently self-deprecating in offering hilarious parodies of new media vocabularies (Marisa Olson, Rhizome). His work has been featured internationally in numerous exhibitions and festivals, and he received his MFA in Art Media Studies from Syracuse University in 2006. Currently his work can be viewed, rented and acquired through the independent on-line label Vtape.... READ MORE...

Videosculptures / Videoplanets. Art And Science In Katja Loher’s Practice

A survey between the real and the virtual, one which inhabits the intermedia territories, is spreading across museum exhibition spaces, housing works of artists who also develop their repertoire outside the Internet. This could describe curator Elena Giulia Rossi's latest exhibition at Maxxi, Rome: NetinSpace adds to the long conversation on Net Art and its complex relationship with a museum which has housed many such works previous to archistar Zaha Hadid's fascinating exhibition....

Smart Urban Stage Intervista a Paolo Mataloni

Come degna conclusione del progetto di collaborazione tra Digicult e Smart Urban Stage, l'intervista a Paolo Mataloni (curatore della sezione "Explore - Scienza") è quindi l'ultima intervista ai curatori della mostra smart future minds exhibition: dopo quella ad Alberto Abruzzese, pubblicata nel numero di Luglio/Agosto di Digimag, e quella a Lorenzo Imbesi. Paolo Mataloni insegna Ottica Quantistica Non-Lineare al Dipartimento di Fisica dell'Università ‹Sapienza› di Roma. I suoi principali campi di ricerca sono stati l'ottica non lineare, la fisica laser e i fenomeni ottici ultraveloci. Attualmente sta lavorando sull'informazione quantistica che usa tecniche ottiche: a riguardo porta avanti esperimenti sulla generazione di stati ‹entangled› di fotoni costruiti su molti qubit e le loro applicazioni per la realizzazione di protocolli per la comunicazione e computazione quantistica....

Informational Realism. Quantum Bit In The Cyber Space

It may very well be said that information is the irreducible kernel from which everything else flows, hence the question why nature appears quantized is simply a consequence of the fact that information itself is quantized by necessity. (p.3) Anton Zeilinger, Why the Quantum? It from Bit? A Participatory Universe?, (The Global Spiral, Metanexus Online, March 25, 2002).... READ MORE...

Loop Barcelona. Transversal Video Art

Once upon a time there was a peripheral artistic practice scarcely considered called video art. This could probably be the incipit of any dissertation on artistical practices tied to technology developments. As we know, the world of arts shares since ever a long common boundary with the world of technologies, but nowadays video art - though maintaining some innovative features - has departed from this frontier positioning itself among the artistic disciplines currently most demanded, valued and practiced....

Live Architecture Network. The Net As A Design Project

The parametric or associative design is based on the use of integrated systems of CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing) which allow a direct dialogue between the machine that models and the machine that makes the constructive elements and assembly pieces, generating a new process of ideation/production. The traditional relationships between the actors of this process change: every project can be planned out in an super-customized way and the variables which can be immense enlarge exponentially...
