Alessandro Bavari: METACHAOS

This is stunning, beautiful and all around #@$! crazy good; METACHAOS from Italian Artist Alessandro Bavari.

METACHAOS is a multidisciplinary audio-visual project, articulated in a short film, a set of photography and mix-technique paintings. The purpose of the project is to represent the most tragic aspects of the human nature and of its motion, such as war, madness, social change and hate.

VERSUS . David Letellier

Versus is the latest installation by David Letellier, combining robot mechanics within kinetic sound installations. Each sculpture is made of 12 triangular panels, hinged and powered by six linear actuators, controlled by custom software. At regular intervals, each sculpture produces a sound, simultaneously recorded and analyzed by the opposite sculpture, which then moves according to the frequencies of this sound. Like a feedback loop, it then plays back the recorded sound, with the errors and disturbances caused by the reverberating space and the installation’s visitors. By intervening in this conversation, the viewer becomes an actor, as he degrades the communication by his presence and the noises he produces. As the panels move back and forth at a pace determined by the environmental sound, they create a non-immediate interaction, where the imperfections of reproduction are becoming creative elements.
