EXHIBITION
(Art Gallery of SESI-SP)
August 26 through October 5, 2014
(10am to 8pm daily)

The exhibition of FILE SP 2014 presents 20 installations, 3 interactive performances, 213 animations, 24 games designed for several platforms, 14 machinimas, 85 videos, 45 artworks of net and sound art, as well as a selection of Japanese artists’ 8 works in partnership with the Japan Media Arts Festival.

INSTALLATIONS

Alex Verhaest – Temps Mort / Idle Times – Netherlands
“Temps Mort / Idle Times” is an interactive film relating the story of a family embroiled in an age-old family drama. Spectators are encouraged to form bonds between these disparate elements through the edition, creating their own film. In this way, Verhaest exposes the mechanics that drive the medium of film.

Bonjour Interactive Lab: Jean Philippe Jacquot, Alexandre Rivaux & Gustave Bernier – Passage – France
“Passage” is a sensitive setup that decrypts the visual and sound imprint of those who step near it. This room is a representation of the data we leave in spite of ourselves, at each of our visits on the web.

Canda? ?i?man – SYN-Phon – Turkey
“SYN-Phon” is an art timeline installation where the artist develops graphic interfaces synchronized with the sounds, which were produced from the research made during the artist’s residence in the Budapest Art Factory (BAF).

Chevalvert, 2Roqs, Polygraphik & Splank – Murmur – France
“Murmur” is an architectural prosthesis that enables the communication between passers-by and the wall upon which it is connected. The installation simulates the movement of sound waves, building a luminous bridge between the physical and the virtual worlds. “Murmur” focuses on this movement, thus creating an unconventional dialogue between the public and the wall.

Dmitry & Elena Kawarga – Down with Wrestlers with Systems and Mental Nonadapters! – Russia
One needs to go on a run simulator to start up the process (a social mechanism). On one hand, one feels himself as the God, because the moving of the mechanism depends on his steps and on the other hand he is only one figure amongst the others. The consciousness of visitors is bisecting – does the society absorb each of us? Or are we ourselves absorbed by this enslaving mechanism?

Els Viaene – The Mamori Expedition – Belgium
“The Mamori Expedition” is a wooden installation that replicates the path that the artist followed during an expedition through the Brazilian Amazon forest in 2009. There are three wooden arms filled with water. Once you insert a stick into the water and move along the twists and turns of the sculpture, the sounds recorded in the forest are reproduced.

Eric Marke – Kaleido-Led – Brazil
“Kaleido-Led” was based on the kaleidoscope invented in England in 1817 by Scottish physicist Dawid Brewster. The images that generate the fractals use the reflex of the light produced by colored LEDs that flash for a certain time in three mirrors inclined in an angle of 45 degrees to each other. In every movement, various combinations of visual effects are formed.

Everyware: Hyunwoo Bang & Yunsil Heo – Levitate – South Korea
“Levitate” is a humorous new media interpretation about gravity and the last scientific fetters of humankind. Tens of serenely levitating balls suddenly float up and dance as your mind resonate with them.

Everyware: Hyunwoo Bang & Yunsil Heo – Modern Video Processor – South Korea
“Modern Video Processor” is a skeuomorphic metaphor to reminisce about the simple days when talking to machines just meant plugging cables, switching buttons and rotating dials. By patching wooden video effector modules like the 80’s audio synthesizer, you can cascade a series of video effects in real time creating limitless combinatory output videos on the brown tube TV sets.

JeongHo Park – Boxes – Germany
“’Boxes” is a tangible and projection-mapping interactive installation. Sixteen small cubes are placed next to others and a small video showing windows of a building is projected on every box. Some stories are created by the movement and assembling of the boxes.

Kanlun Cen – The Undercurrent – China
In the installation, the distorted image projected on the tabletop is reflected in the cylindrical mirror. While one sequence is distorted and reminiscent of a dreamlike state or the hazy inner workings of the mind, the other is clear and in proportion, which enables us to decipher the anamorphic image, thus to confront the ‘undercurrent’ in our mind.

Karina Smigla-Bobinski – Simulacra – Poland/Germany
“Simulacra” is an optophysical experimental arrangement. If you hold a magnifying glass (polarizing film) before the monitor, images of hands, feet, and long black hair appear through a seemingly transparent film. But if you turn the lens in front of your eyes, the polarizing structure of the film creates color shifts or even complementary negative images.

Kenny Wong – Squint – Hong Kong
“Squint” is a kinetic light installation consisting of 51 mirrors that reflect lights in a bright space. The mirrors track and reflect lights on audiences’ face with composed patterns of movements. It extends the generated perception by focusing on how lights pass across our visual senses physically, and combines with our perception of images through flickering.

Luisa Pereira & Manuela Donoso – The Harmonic Series – United States
“The Harmonic Series” is a collection of mechanical devices, software, sculptures, and prints that explore musical harmony. Major, minor, e diminished chords are represented by Lissajous figures, inviting visitors to discover a relationship between musical and visual harmony.

Scenocosme: Grégory Lasserre & Anaïs met den Ancxt – Matières Sensibles – France
Made through a process of biohacking called by the artists of “interactive marquetry”, “Matières Sensibles” (Sensitive Matters) is a series of sculptures made of very thin and delicate veneer sheets of ash wood, which produce sounds when the spectators touch them.

SWAMP: Matt Kenyon – Notepad – United States
“Notepad” is an act of protest and commemoration disguised as a stack of ordinary yellow legal pads. Each ruled line, when magnified, is revealed to be microprinted text enumerating the full names, dates, and locations of each Iraqi civilian death on record over the first three years of the Iraq War.

SWAMP: Matt Kenyon – Supermajor – United States
In the gallery a wire rack of vintage oil cans sits. One has a visible fissure out of which oil slowly flows, cascading onto the pedestal and the gallery floor. The only thing is, upon close inspection, the oil isn’t flowing out of the can. Instead, oil appears to slowly flow, drop-by-drop, back into the can.

Takeshi Mukai, Kei Shiratori & Younghyo Bak – ARART – Japan
“ARART” is an application that breathes life into objects. It links reality with the expressions delivered through mobile devices adding new stories and values to the real environment.

Thembi Rosa & Lucas Sander – EscadaAdentro (StairsInwards) – Brazil
“StairsInwards” is a video installation designed to be project in stairs in a system of mapping that keep the whole body into the stairs bringing up unpredictable movements to this surface.

Vitus Schuhwerk & Till Maria Jürgens – @><#!!! – The Life of an Overtaxed Surface – Germany
“@><#!!!” is a surface of an arbitrary machine communicating on an emotional level with the humans. It tries to make internal processes visible by an alteration of its surface structure and to react on interaction. The final result simulates a living object with feelings, action, and reaction.

JAPAN MEDIA ARTS FESTIVAL

Ei Wada – Toki Ori Ori Nasu – Falling Records – Japan
In this work, open reel tape recorders are placed on top of high pedestals and, as they play back, the magnetic tape unspools down into plastic receptacle below. At the end it is wound back up at high speed to a symphonic soundtrack.

Hiroyasu Ishida – Rain Town – Japan
Some time ago, the rain began to fall incessantly. Because of that the citizens went to the suburbs and higher grounds. One day, a young girl who has been completely abandoned meets a lonely robot that remembers the town as it used to be.

Masaharu Sato – Nine Holes Series – Japan
A selection of five short works of loop animation depicting weird things happening in what are otherwise everyday situations. All of these works feature vertical motion and gravity and provide us with the disquieting nature of the bizarre and the visually amusing.

Masashi Kawamura & Kota Igushi – SOUR “Life is Music” – Japan
This is a music video for the Japanese band SOUR’s new song “Life is Music”. The song sings about the circle of life, and how music is its rhythm maker. From this concept, 189 spinning CD discs were used as a Phenakistoscope, creating the entire animated music video.

Sayonara Ponytail – “Hey!! Nyan ?” and other songs – Japan
The anonymous singers in this group have asked the likes of video artists, photographers, designers and playwrights to direct and produce their music clips in recent years. The result in each case has been an outstanding experimental collaboration.

Soichiro Mihara – The Blank to Overcome – Japan
Part of the “blank” project that the artist has been creating since 2011, “The Blank to Overcome” utilizes air pumps, power supply control circuitry, water, solution, glycerin, ethanol and electricity to produce bubbles in the air.

Takayoshi Tsuchiya – UpHill – Japan
It depicts a myriad of scroll bars randomly moving up and down the screen. The artist has not created a video, merely a software program that display automatically scroll bars on a web browser.

Yasuhiro Yoshiura – Patema Inverted – Japan
Age is a boy who lives in Aiga, a world where long ago many sinners fell from the sky, and the sky was poisoned. One day, he is watching the sky just before dawn when an upside-down girl called Patema appears. Beginning with this encounter, the story is a spectacular journey full of surprises in search of the mystery of the “reversed world”.

FILE MAQUINEMA

FILE Machinima 2014 presents a selection of experimental films that address the limits as an element that pervades its themes or as a question involving the techniques used in its constitution. They are visual experiences that are based in the constitution of virtual environments, in the difference between them and the physical world, in the margins separating the conscious from the unconscious, and in the diverse range of audiovisual expressive forms.

FILE SP 2014 honors the pioneer Otávio Donasci with his work Videocriatura (Videocreature)

This year FILE – Electronic Language International Festival receives performances by young artists who dialogue with the videocreatures of Brazilian artist Otávio Donasci by using electronic helmets and masks, through what is called post-selfie. In order to create an opportunity of encounter between history and these new artists, Donasci will present his first videocreature produced in the 1980’s exclusively at the opening ceremony.

Eric Siu – Touchy – Hong Kong
“Touchy” is a wearable device that transforms the human being into a functioning camera. The individual who is wearing the device is constantly “blinded” unless someone touches his/her skin. When physical contact is maintained for 10 seconds, the camera takes a photo which is displayed on the device’s LCD. The work is devised to encourage offline communication through touch and visual contact.

Katsuki Nogami – YamadaTaroProject – Japan
“YamadaTaroProject” is a performance in which the artist exchanges his own face with people’s faces on the streets using an iPad. The idea is to express the temporality and the anonymity of the internet, in which people on the SNS choose a face for themselves.

The Constitute: Sebastian Piatza & Christian Zoellner – Eyesect – Germany
“Eyesect” is a wearable interactive constellation that reflects a disembodied experiment in immersive ways. Two handheld cameras capture the surroundings and stream the image data straight to the single eyes. The spatial perceptions are constructed inside the human sensory system. Arms and fingers become eye-muscles and create impossible human-biological perspectives.

FILE – Electronic Language International Festival and SESI publishing house launch on August 25, 2014 the “highlike book”. This is a yearbook on global contemporary ART and CULTURE. Its first edition has 584 pages with 577 artists from 35 countries. The “highlike book” encompasses several aspects of contemporary culture, providing the user a new form of appreciation of an art book. This is a book connected to the cloud. All information, images, videos and texts, is connected to their on-line counterparts in several languages, in a hybrid book which maintains its physical aspects and the virtual simultaneity of multimedia information. Its main purpose is to provide users with a new way of access culture in a global diversified view on the contemporary creativity in its transversal and heuristic aspect, by means of technologies currently available.

Request for group visits: Monday-Friday, 10am-1pm and 2pm-5pm, tel. 3146-7396. Contact: Leni Arietti
