Incredibilmente in Turku (Finlandia) esiste una ciminiera con sopra parte della serie di Fibonacci (cliccate sull’immagine) che, di notte, è illuminata e splende nel buio come l’unica cosa visibile (o quasi).

Si tratta, in realtà di una installazione di Mario Mertz del 1997, il cui titolo è “Fibonacci Sequence 1-55″ e il sottotitolo “Metafora della ricerca dell’uomo di ordine e armonia nel caos”.

Austrian-born artist Erwin Redl uses LEDs as an artistic medium. Working in both two and three dimensions, his works redefine interior and exterior spaces. Born in 1963, Redl began his studies as a musician, receiving a BA in Composition and Diploma in Electronic Music at the Music Academy in Vienna, Austria. In 1995, he received an MFA in Computer Art at the School of Visual Arts in New York, where he now lives.

Redl’s works have received attention both nationally and internationally. With his piece Matrix VI (detail), he lit the face of New York’s Whitney Museum of American Art for its 2002 Biennial Exhibit. Works such as Matrix II, which was shown in New York, Germany, France, Austria, and Korea, and Fade I, which animated the Eglise Sainte-Marie Madeleine in Lille, France, explore volume and allow people to move through lit spaces.

Light_Paper_Sound è una installazione in cui dei video vengono proiettati su superfici tridimensionali di carta che in tal modo assumono varie colorazioni e sfumature che cambiano nel tempo. Nello stesso tempo delle tracce audio sono diffuse da altoparlanti.

This exhibition is an installation using randomly selected video projected on three dimensional paper surfaces synced with audio tracks played on speakers in the environment. The overall effect creates a unique environment of dynamic color and sound.

The works collaborators are artists Joseph Gray (sculpture/video) and Gabriel Herbertson (audio) with original music by Beth Fleenor (clarinet) and Paris Hurley (violin).

The Travelling Guitars show is open at the Cité de la Musique in Paris (France) until January, 14. Te site organisation is interesting, but the contents are not really original.
More interesting cound be the Power Chords installation by Saâdane Afif for 11 electric guitars controlled by a computer system.
Each guitar play a chord randomly and the whole build harmonic lines.

Alla Cité de la Musique di Parigi c’è questa mostra di chitarre aperta fino al 14 gennaio. Il sito è carino, ma i contenuti non sembrano particolarmente originali.
Più interessante, invece, sembra essere Power Chords, una installazione di Saâdane Afif in cui una certa quantità di chitarre, disperse in un ambiente e controllate da un sistema informatico emettono accordi in modo aleatorio (nell’immagine).
