      AROTIN & SERGHEI – Infinite Screen

      From Light Cells to Monumental Installations at Centre Pompidou

      • 304 pages
      • 11 hours of reading

      AROTIN & SERGHEI’s Infinite Screen reflects contemporary visuality. As an evolutive inter-medial installation, it investigates the idea of the infinite beyond the limits of our screens, the origins of light and the iconography of digital information. Like luminous and transcendent symphonies of light, their intermedial works of art describe both, the macrocosm and the microcosm of our world, using screens as symbols and portals to infinity within constantly evolving parameters of scientific, mythological, philosophical, and architectural frameworks. This book retraces the artist’s supraliminal work-in-progress, from the intermedial paintings of red, green, and blue Light Cells—the DNA of today’s visual language—to the monumental installations at Ars Electronica, the Venice Biennale, the Fondation Beyeler, the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna, and at Centre Pompidou Paris.

    • 2015

      Much of which makes up our cities today stems from the industrial era. But how will cities and habitats be organized thereafter? What will they look like when more robots than people work in the factories, when objects are intelligently linked with one another, when cars drive by themselves and mail is delivered by drones, when climate change makes itself felt, the new megacities run out of air to breathe and the new ones run out of money? Rethinking urban habitats has already begun, and exciting ideas for new architecture and forms of social organization are emerging throughout the world that can keep pace with the changes taking place in upcoming decades.0Experts from all corners of the earth assemble in Linz to be part of an extraordinary think tank. With a total area of 100,000 square meters, the former mail and package distribution center on the railroad grounds becomes the venue for the festival and a laboratory for the city of the future. 00Exhibition: Ars Electronica The festival 2015, Linz, Austria (03.09-07.09.2015).

      In 2009 the Ars Electronica festival celebrated 30 years of bringing the latest developments in digital and electronic media to the public. The festival was held in Linz, Europe's Capital of Culture for that year, and was themed to address the dawn of an age called the Anthropocene-that is, an age in which humankind is capable, through science, of an unprecedented degree of self-manipulation and self-determination through genetic engineering and numerous developments in biotechnology. Contributors to this catalogue for Ars Electronica 2009 include Stephen Downes on "The Cloud and Collaboration," Xiao Qiang on "Constructing Self-Identity in the Connected Age," Juliana Rotich on "African and Environmentalism Online" and Alois Ferscha asking "How Much Technology Can Humankind Bear?" several special projects by the likes of Ryoji Ikeda, Alva Noto and Andres Bosshard, writings marking the festival's anniversary and much more.
