Vladislav Delay & AGF present Rakka

Antye Greie-Ripatti (DE), Vladislav Delay (FI)

The Wire described Vladislav Delay as “one of the most consistently creative artists working today.” Reinventing himself regularly, he takes electronic music where he pleases with a unique blend of depth and detail. His music is like a non-existing soundtrack for the underworld; murky, dark and constrained. Antye Greie-Ripatti (also known as AGF) is a music producer, sound artist & curator, poet, gender activist. Her artistic tools are language, sound, listening, voice, and communication which she expresses in mixed media. Since 2011, she is the organizer and co-founder of Hai Art in Hailuoto. Antye campaigns for diversity in the arts with the women’s collective female:pressure. She runs her own music publishing label AGF Producktion and has collaborated with Eliane Radigue, Gudrun Gut, Kaffe Matthews, Craig Armstrong, and Ellen Allien amongst many others.

Art & D Lab : Significant Other

Jonas Lund (SE) x Televic (BE)

The artist Jonas Lund collaborated with the Belgian telecommunication company Televic in the framework of Gluon’s Art & D Labs. He realized the work Significant Other, an intelligent, networked sculptural display installed in two locations in Belgium and Bulgaria. Descending from the ceiling, two cameras and flat-screens are programmed to read the “emotional state” of each person crossing their pathway.

Undershoot, sensitive data: Cristiano

Cindy Coutant (FR)

In Undershoot, sensitive data: Cristiano, soccer star Cristian Ronaldo is the center of attention. Using text commands, Cindy Coutant interacts with a virtual Ronaldo. She remotely feeds the character (input), who then acts and transforms the submitted text (output). With this supposedly interactive project, the artist addresses the deeply human need to feel connected to someone with all our senses – be it real or just virtual.

The Internet Yami-Ichi

IDPW (JP), Sofia Braga (AT)

The Internet Yami-Ichi, from the Japanese “Internet Black Market,” but also “sickness” and “addiction,” is a flea market where people consumed by the Internet can share and buy Internet-related things in real life. In this weird market, you can browse through the booths and find the amazing and the useless—in an ironic and humorous atmosphere reminiscent of the early Internet era.

Behind the Robots Eyes

Daman Diawara (US)

In the framework of the Scientist in Residence Program, Gluon launched a project with artist Manthia Diawara and researchers Tarek Besold (Alpha Health AI Lab) and Raoul Frese (Faculty of Sciences, Physics and Astronomy, VU Amsterdam). The first meeting took place at Manthia’s residency in the village of Yenne, near Dakar, Senegal. The artist and the researchers reflected together on the relationship of Senegalese people with technology and artificial intelligence, and they carried on interviews with women working on the market, fishermen and a traditional healer. The project will be further developed over the course of 2019 and will result in a movie.
