Like all of Kapoor’s works, Descension is the result of intensive research into material and process, exploring the potential of water to behave in surprising ways. The continuous swirling motion of this 26-foot-diameter liquid mass converges in a central vortex, as if rushing water is being sucked into the earth’s depths. We thus experience Kapoor’s abstract form on multiple levels. Its powerful physicality has a visceral and mesmerizing impact. Yet Descension also stimulates the imagination and suggests a social, cultural, and even mythic dimension.

Video and installation artist Krzysztof Wodiczko amplifies the voices of refugees with "Monument," his 2020 site-specific commission for Madison Square Park in New York City. From his Manhattan apartment, Wodiczko shares his early drawings of the project, where he conceived of how he would project video onto a prominent 1881 monument to Civil War admiral, David Glasgow Farragut. "It was very important for me to imagine how this statue can be animated with the projection," says the artist. Monuments carry special significance for Wodiczko, as sites for public gatherings and protests, witnesses and recorders of history, and blank canvases upon which new narratives can be painted. With "Monument," Wodiczko decided to project video likenesses and spoken narratives of resettled refugees onto the Farragut statue,

The EyeWriter is a low-cost eye-tracking apparatus & custom software that allows graffiti writers and artists with paralysis resulting from Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis to draw using only their eyes. In 2009, the GRL, openFrameworks, TEG and the FAT Lab collaborated with TEMPT One, legendary LA graf writer and ALS suffer to make the first prototype of the EyeWriter. Check out http://eyewriter.org for more information.

Laser Tagging is a non-destructive way of using a laser, video camera, computer and projector to apply graffiti to buildings! It’s a lot of fun! You’ll see the GRL Vienna guys Michael Zeltner and Florian Frühauf who rocked Berlin with 5500 lumens of laser graffiti awesomeness. They would like to extend a thanks to Theo Watson and Evan Roth of GRL who came up with the idea, first implemented it and put it out there in the public domain. Lasers, like power tools, can be dangerous. You’re responsible for your own safety!

“Vectorial Elevation” was originally developed for the Millennium Celebrations in Mexico City’s Zócalo Square, where over 800,000 people from 89 countries participated in its two-week exhibition. The installation was subsequently presented for the Fête des Lumières in Lyon in 2003 (600,000 participants) and for the EU expansion celebrations in Dublin in 2004 (500,000 participants). Between February 4 - 28, "Vectorial Elevation" will be on view in Vancouver, Canada, during the 2010 Winter Olympics.

The websites vectorialvancouver.net and alzado.net contain a virtual model of Vancouver where you are able to design “light sculptures” with 20 robotic searchlights located along English Bay. Once you are happy with your design you submit it together with your name, location and dedication or comments. Every night from dusk to dawn new designs are quietly rendered sequentially as they are added to a queue. The project automatically creates a personal webpage for each participant, documenting his or her contribution with views from 4 project webcams. With a 15 Km visibility radius, the installation intends to blend the virtual space of the Internet with one of the most emblematic public spaces in Vancouver.

Noderunner is a game that transforms a city into a playing field where teams race against time to access as many wifi hot-spots as possible, photograph and submit them to a weblog.

C-240 is an electronic sound visualization developed by Yucef to translate spoken words and urban sounds into colorful geometric patterns. The installation investigates the contemporary relevance of the music visualizer as social phenomena. It looks back on the history of video game consoles, pointing out the celebrated Atari VCS 2600, and incorporating the first electronic music visualizer invented by Atari in 1976: the Atari Video Music machine. The installation encourages audience participation by letting passersby speak into microphones connected to the Atari device. In addition, C-240 uses transducers placed on the street to process realtime sounds of the city. The sonic engagement is automatically converted into visual representations on the building’s façade.

Pattern Language, built in a video game engine, is a rhythmic, strobing composition in richly patterned black and white. Employing cellular automata and crowd-simulation algorithms, this work envisions human life within a labyrinthine “Dirtscraper” – an inverted, underground skyscraper. Indistinct, nongendered figures in shades of grey walk through endless generative levels of lights and right angles, while others fill the screen with dots that bloom or wilt according to the classic “Game of Life” model developed by mathematician John Conway in 1970. Part of a larger project of the same name that has appeared from Kiev to Berkeley to Amsterdam, this work overtook Times Square in New York City every night in May 2018 as a part of Times Square Arts’ Midnight Moment program. Viewers were immersed in the endless labyrinth which mirrors both the pointillist quality of Times Square’s LED billboards and the patterns we ourselves trace through the megastructure environment of New York City.

In this video we attend the opening of Japanese artist and composer Ryoji Ikeda's audiovisual installation "Test Pattern [100m Version]" at Duisburg's Kraftzentrale, within the framework of Ruhrtriennale -- International Arts Festival. Ikeda's work translates the digital data that surrounds us in everyday life into flickering barcodes. On the artist's 100-meter-long projection, the visitor is at the same time viewer and part of the image. The installation is accompanied by a rhythmical soundtrack. Concept and composition are by Ryoji Ikeda, computer graphics and programming by Tomonaga Tokuyama. Ryoji Ikeda 池田亮司: Test Pattern 100m Version at Ruhrtriennale 2013.
