Showing @ MULTITUDES 54 Gallery // ART BASEL Flood / GLOBALECTICS: Art for Change

GLOBALECTICS
Art for Change

GLOBALECTICS: Art for Change aims at providing visitors to our city an alternative to the systematization at work in the construction of contemporary art. This systematiza-tion interprets contemporaneity as a continuous, unique and linear progress as “if X then Y” with a historical origin and meaning to be read only in one direction.
By bringing together artists from different racial, cultural, geographic and social back-grounds in an exhibition linking art and social transformation, GLOBALECTICS: Art for Change participates to current transformations and usages of the city, the intermin-gling of populations, the arrival of new inhabitants, the development of technologies and discussions about more fecund spatial categories and scales for thinking and devel-oping territories.
What are the ingredients of these territories (cities) in “becoming”? What are the models used by different spatial planners to equip these with an identity and a dynamism? This international exhibition sees the city in a definition that leads to a complex of compo-nents that must be highlighted in light of different forms of utopia, territorial models and theories on the urban (city-nature, creative city)
GLOBALECTICS: Art for Change argues that art and culture must be mobilized for transformation of the urban landscape through a materialization of the territory and the living together. In this context, the artists are better equipped for a redefinition and revi-talization of the city in the diversity of its space.

Lecture at PACE University this Friday

I am giving a lecture at PACE University this Friday

Title: The ARtSENSE Project
Date: Friday, November 16, 2012, 12:30-2pm, light lunch snacks served
Where:   Pace University, Seidenberg School of Information Sciences, 163 Williams St., New York

Cell phone and tablet based augmented reality (AR) represents a potent next wave integration of locative media, art, information, and internet content for mobile device camera video and GPS. What is the potential of AR both as a technology used to enhance museum audience experience and interpretation as well as a contemporary artistic medium? This presentation features the European Union co-funded interdisciplinary ARtSENSE project and the consortium’s collaboration with the international artists' collective Manifest.AR. The new notion of Adaptive Augmented Reality (A2R) is explored, focusing on the different yet complementary A2R use-cases of the National Museum of Decorative Arts, Madrid, Spain, the National Museum of the History of Science and Technology, Paris, France and the Foundation for Art and Creative technology (FACT), Liverpool, UK. A special emphasis will be given to FACT’s upcoming Inside-Out collective exhibition, which will be bringing to the wide public, eight mobile A2R art projects, imagined, conceived of and deployed by the international artists’ collective Manifest.AR.

Future Slave Headset -- under construction

 http://thefutureslave.blogspot.com/
A small, cost effective headset unit is currently under development. This headset will monitor how hard the user is mentally focused on their work. If the user is not mentally focusing hard enough on their work they will receive a simulated shock. Get shocked @ FACT, summer 2013!!!
