CONCEPT

The exhibition Dark Science presents artistic works approaching specific
phenomena focusing on their physicality by means of the paradox underlaying
our human relation to them in terms of states of absence, immateriality,
evanescence and void. This pushes the boundaries of our imagination and
reflects a constant need to sense and understand levels of the physical
world in an observable and measurable matter. Traces and shadows of those
transitory presences become the territory of exploration for artists with
different approaches from an intentionality on presenting a direct
experience of the phenomena to the impact these elements produce indirectly
in our culture and society.


Works presented:

   - Labofactory (Jean-Marc Chomaz, Laurent Karst
   & Gaétan Lerisson): VOID SPACES
   - Michael Kugler & Sebastian Wolf: BRUME
   - Luiz Zanotello: THE AEROGRAPHER

WORKS



*Labofactory, Jean-Marc Chomaz, Laurent Karst & Gaétan Lerisson: VOID
SPACES - Installation & Conference/Performance *

Is the expansion of space, or the light that finally remembers that the
universe has an age or that no longer has one? But the shadows that our
bodies cast on the distant galaxies inevitably shift to the red, leaving on
our silhouettes a pale iridescence of blue. How to reverse the time and
light the Universe? How to retrace the double star of your eyes? Vacuum
contracted by the cry of absence. The pellucid rags of night mingle with
the living. Great black sails that the solar wind rises, they transform the
present into an ark of Void spaces.

*Michael Kugler & Sebastian Wolf: BRUME - Installation*

In Brume, the artist duo Michael Kugler and Sebastian Wolf investigate
immateriality by coaxing fog into a semi-geometrical, self-organizing form.
The viewer becomes a catalyst for disturbance, generating turbulences that
not only illustrate the carrying power of the air, but upset a perceived
equilibrium, and reveal the spatial and temporal volatility of such a
phenomenon. 'Brume' operates in the margins between ubiquity and the
finite, symmetry and the amorphous, transience and permanence, and
gesturing at the paradox of immateriality.

*Luiz Zanotello: THE AEROGRAPHER*

This kinetic installation maps the air to raise fragile grounds. In times
of ubiquitous technological mediation and accelerated uncertainty, borders
among territories and boundaries among bodies do not endure nor cease to
evaporate. What is it like to live in airlike times, when everything
evanishes, and no ground lingers? The Aerographer is both a system and an
individual, trapped on groundless air, seeking to sustain a place inside of
the clouds.

*Giovanni Salice: NANOSOUND*

Video installation collecting images discovered in 2013 at the Center for
Functional Nanomaterials, Oak Ridge. They appear for the first time on
screen showing nanostructures that have never been seen before. However,
the widest part of the physical processes is in such a small scale that can
be described only applying data analysis. In order to make deepest layers
of the phenomenon assessable on scientific observation, these data have
been interpreted into the sound domain, by converting images with a process
of sonification, which reveals new levels of understanding in the nature of
this matter.

Artist biographies

*JEAN-MARC CHOMAZ (FR)* is a physicist and an artist. His scientific
research encompasses areas such as the dynamics of soap films, global
instability, vortex breakdown, geophysical and stratified fluids and
biomechanics. He is a Director of Research, professor and chair at the
University Paris-Saclay, and has co-founded the Hydrodynamics Laboratory he
co-directed from 1990 to 2013. With more than 25 different artworks,
performances or installations, his practice in Art & Science aims at
exploring the sensorial and emotional foundations of science. It
participates from the will to reassess the very nature of science facing
the complexity, to explore and expose its human nature, weak and sublime,
to distinguish observable from perceivable. Chomaz’ Installations create
fractures in the real from which emerge abstract but physical Universes
that the public experiments and invents calling back his own experiences
and memories.

*MICHAEL KUGLER (USA) *is a media artist and filmmaker whose practice
engages 'psychogeographic' modalities—practices, rituals, and spaces in
which these occur. His recent work traverses the nebulous margins of
science and art. He currently lives and works in Berlin.

*SEBASTIAN WOLF (DE)* creates interactive video and light installations.
His work explores the relationship between nature and humanity and employs
a fundamental approach to artistic creation that seeks the inherent
aesthetic and emotional potential of novel technologies. He currently lives
and works in Berlin.

*LUIZ ZANOTELLO (BR)* is a Brazilian media artist/designer based in Bremen.
His work occurs within digital media studies, often through kinetic
installations, poetic machinery and speculative interactions. He has
exhibited at two editions of FILE in São Paulo (2011/2012), at the Museum
of Applied Arts in Vienna (2013), at the Dubai Design Week (2015), at the
Resonate Festival in Belgrade (2016), as well as in different exhibitions
in Germany. A designer graduated by the São Paulo State University in 2012,
he is currently a masters student at the Digital Media program of the
University of the Arts Bremen.

*GIOVANNI SALICE (IT)* is an Italian artist/musician working in the field
of sonic-media. He holds a degree in classical oboe. After this education,
he studied electronic music and visual arts and, through the years, he
increased his interest into film and installative art. He is currently
working on microscopic sounds, Artificial Intelligence and field-recording.

*SPEKTRUM* is a project space in Neukölln for idealisation, realisation and
exhibition of technology-based artworks, media-focused events and
futuristic utopias based on the principle "do-it-together-with-others". Above
all, we are an open space promoting participatory processes to co-define
and co-design a social and physical playground for curiosity and critical
understanding.
