MAN A –Gibson/Martelli2014 Prize Winner
An interactive downloadable app and augmented reality experience that sees life and movement burst from a flat surface of distorted patterns. Gibson/Martelli see the Man A project as a conceptual laboratory and the outcomes of a number of their experiments have been exhibited in a variety of forms including site-specific installation, large scale wall and window prints, and virtual reality.
WORLD OF WATER - Anne Morgan Spalter
Hypnotic digital animation based on the footage the artist shot while at Volcano Falls, Illinois. World of Water integrates art and technology in a spell-binding way that transforms holiday photographs into kaleidoscopic imagery.
IN FLOW- Ronan Devlin
In Flow is about material and psychological changes in state. Originally staged in an expansive former retail park, the immersive and playful work is comprised of light responsive prints, a Moiret- generating sculpture and an audience-responsive audio-visual installation.
New media and technologies have radically changed the way we experience our daily life, increasingly modifying our creative processes. Traditional disciplines like drawing, painting and sculpture are increasingly being merged with digital and electronic techniques, allowing new aesthetic experiences and opening new possibilities of perception.
Digital Canvas brings together a selection of outstanding international artists with more than 80 video works that explicitly employ the use of electronic and digital tools while making direct references to art history. Mounir Fatmi’s Technologia links ancient circular Arabic calligraphy and Marcel Duchamp’s rotoreliefs, the first manifestation of kinetic art produced in the context of modern and industrialized society. Eelco Brand uses both paint and digital techniques to create a hyper-real cosmos that reflects his conception of nature. Cosimo Miorelli creates a new form of storytelling with live-drawing sessions accompanied by music, executed on a tablet and recorded. Yannis Kranidiotis creates visual soundscapes by digitally re-elaborating old masterpieces. The winner of our open call Ulla Nolden, investigates movement and its rules in everyday environments, and visualizes its abstract algorithms by using an aesthetic language that she has developed in her photographic work.
Digital Canvas also features outstanding works by Joe Hamilton, Jacques Perconte, UBERMORGEN, Pierce Warnecke, Kurt Hentschläger, Claudia Hart, Andreas Nicolas Fischer, Johanna Reich, Nicolas Rupcich, Richard Garet, Feng Chen, Dejan Radovanovic, Daniel Canogar, Claudia Larcher, Mateo Amaral, Ryan Whittier Hale, Chris Coleman, Laleh Mehran, Pia MYrvoLD and Philipp Artus.
In addition, Digital Canvas gives a Carte Blanche to Marco Mancuso (Founder and Director of Digicult) and to The One Minutes, a global network based in Amsterdam producing and distributing films with the duration of one single minute.
Marco Mancuso presents “Hyper Reality”: how the visual contemporary apparatus is changing due to digital and science technologies, becoming - in a way - More Real than Real. The selection features artworks by Evelina Domnitch and Dmitry Gelfand, Syntfarm, Boris Labbé, Quayola, Thomas Köner, Thorsten Fleisch.
The One Minutes’ Carte Blanche features Laurel Backman, Sophie Penkethman, Christoph Meyer, Renee Lear, Guusje Kaayk, Dana Verbaan and Alper T.Tunga Ince and Frank ter Horst.

Allison Berkoy presents ONE ON ONE, an interactive multimedia installation and performance experience. Participants enter the installation environment and encounter a figurative assemblage of chair parts, enlivened with projection, audio, and computer vision. Lone participants may receive an invitation to sit in a chair facing the figure. Others may watch.
Each ONE ON ONE encounter unravels divergently and unpredictably. The figure makes requests, tells stories, and entertains; responding differently to true ONE ON ONE meetings with a single participant versus engagements with an audience. ONE ON ONE creates an illusion of complex interaction through sensor tracking, custom software, arrays of scripted responses, live internet feeds, and structured randomness.

We're moving toward a world where the objects and spaces around us are imbued with a level of interactivity far richer than the phones and laptops that we spend so much time with today. As this transition takes place, it will no longer be meaningful to distinguish between the “interface” to an object or space and the object or space itself. As we shift away from traditional display screens, we need a new set of design principles to ensure that the interactivity we bring into the physical world enhances our daily experience rather than detracting from it, and that it connects us to each other rather than isolating us. Our designs should empower people to be the authors of their own experiences.
James Patten will present a series of design principles and related projects, drawn from Patten Studio’s interactive activations and internal R&D work, that highlight the studio’s vision for our future relationship to technology.
Sree Sreenivasan (@sree) is the first Chief Digital Officer at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the latest step in what he calls "a three-decade, one-way love affair with one of the world's great museums." At the Met, he leads a world-class team of 70 working on topics he loves: digital, social, mobile, video, data, email apps and more.
He joined the Met after spending 20 years at Columbia University as a member of the faculty of the Columbia Journalism School and a year as the university's first Chief Digital Officer.
Why can’t a sword be used to create an art piece? What if spirit animals followed you on a bike ride? Shouldn’t a pool light up with animations when you jump in? At Red Paper Heart, these are the odd questions that they ask each other – and they’re about playing with users expectations of physical objects. Enter the transformative world of interactive installations. Responsive technology can redefine the rules for even the simplest of objects by changing their function. Deftly alternating between gratifying and confounding deep-seated expectations can create surprising moments of delight. In this session, Daniel will talk about swords, music boxes and how they created surprisingly immersive art installations with them. And why cats can’t hold swords.
We think of ourselves as physical beings inhabiting a physical world - and yet we are discovering that our awareness, our communication, and the activities we engage in are increasingly in the digital world.
Over the coming 10 years, we will experience the merging of digital and physical into a connected experiential environment that anticipates our needs and desires, automatically configures the spaces we inhabit and interacts in personalized ways with each of us as we move through this environment. Moreover, we will cease to use the term “digital” as it will no longer add any meaning to our always-online, always-connected way of life.
In this talk, Neil will explore pertinent current and near-future trends and innovations, extrapolate what we can expect to emerge over the coming 10 years and beyond, and provoke conversation around how our practices will evolve to enable the creation of this future.
“Performing Systems: Extending Media Environments via the Blockchain”
Like many artists working with emergent technologies, Benton C Bainbridge designs custom systems to make his media art. Bainbridge discusses his latest collaboration: Performing Systems. This platform enables real-time media artists to extend their systems and “play” the entire art ecosystem from creation through provenance, exhibition, collection and archiving. Bainbridge and co-creator Eric Barry Drasin created Performing Systems and Moving Pictures Gallery as a tool to enable Visual Performance artists to collect each other.
Performing Systems is a conceptual experiment in which real-time audiovisual artists improvise within the Moving Pictures Gallery platform to measure cultural value in a post-blockchain era. Artists’ video and sound feeds are recorded, then singular media artworks are selected from the feed and uploaded to a secure, permanent storage system along with digital provenance.
Performing Systems asserts a near-future ecosystem at the intersection of emerging technologies and societal attitudes. In this possible future, Digital Media Artists and their patrons can assert the value of ethereal artworks.
