Body Poetry
Liu Guiyu (CN)
Body Poetry is an exploration of future body data and poetic human data. When linking the body to the data, perhaps our sadness, fear and enthusiasm are not only the spirituality of poetry, but the result of the algorithm.
KHIPU
Constanza Piña (CL)
This piece is an open-source textile computer based on the manufacture of an astronomical Inca khipu, the cords of which were hand-spun with alpaca wool and copper wire. They function as an antenna for electromagnetic fields that is connected to an amplifier circuit. This project is a sound and arts interpretation of the technology, wisdom and history of our ancestors.
Time
Jianhao Lei (CN)
What I present in this project is a trapped clock. The audience takes an EEG and the data extracted from their brain activities reinvigorate the clock. Then, the clock is no longer moving second by second, but at a real-time pace according to the brain activity of the viewer.
Mind Particles
He Xuan (CN)
The particles are suspended and aggregated in the air, and the brain waves generated by concentration during meditation control the substances in the container. When the control stops, the air movement stops, the particles return to the absolute steady state and are scattered.
Brainwave Project to Help Patients with Disorders of Consciousness
Qi Chen (CN)
In this project, I hope to provide an approach to help people who are in a minimally conscious state (MCS) and have partial preservation of conscious awareness by using wearable devices to detect real-time brain waves and generate images to help doctors and families understand the different brain responses to different audiovisual inputs.
Luci, sin nombre y sin memoria
José Manuel Berenguer (ES)
Luci reproduces the functioning of a self-organizing system inspired by the behavior of fireflies in south-east Asian mangrove swamps. It has been observed that when the male launches an intermittent signal the female responds with a similar signal. Luci is, in the final instance, an allusion to the irreversibility of nature and the absolute security of death.
YAIR – Your Art is Reality
YAIR seeks to preserve digital cultural heritage, standardize ownership and provide free public access to digital artworks. From video & photography to VR & AR, YAIR is working across all digital media, building a secure, convenient, standardized and tokenized ecosystem for the digital arts on a blockchain infrastructure.
PULSATION
Aruma – Sandra de Berduccy (BO), Maria Selma Batista Ferreira (BR), Camacã Imboré/Tupinambá Indigenous community, Bahia (BR)
The three textile works that comprise *Pulsation* combine traditional knowledge, processes and materials such as reeds, thread and feathers, with unusual materials such as fiber-optic cable and LEDs to offer a poetic approach to Indigenous culture.
Aurelia 1 +Hz / proto viva generator
Robertina Šebjanič (SI)
Aurelia 1+Hz / proto viva generator addresses the possibilities of coexistence of animals and machines. The project uses living organisms to process “aliveness” of a simple robotic machine. The two entities – jellyfish and robot – are separated. If they merge into one, causing new biocybernetic organism to occur, would they be able to live forever?
Mutupo
Natsai Audrey Chieza (UK), Karl Aspelund (US)
Mutupo: Origin stories of a multi-planetary diaspora explores the theatre of space through a new envisioning of space nomadism, its emergent cultures, beginning with speculative mythologies tied to DNA – the most ancient yet prescient origin text.
