Leo Villareal - Volume

Over 20,000 LED nodes are suspended in a three-dimensional matrix of mirror-finished stainless steel. Controlled by a software code that the artist developed over an extensive period of time, the nodes cycle through a seemingly infinite series of patterns and movements. The piece draws the viewer into a deep, abstract space as it warps temporal and visual perception.

INTERACTIVE CLOUD

CLOUD was instigated by Calgary-based artist Caitlind r.c. Brown for Nuit Blanche Calgary on September 15, 2012. Over the course of creating the sculpture, the project evolved into a collaboration with Wayne Garrett, a local musician, machinist, and artist. Brown and Garrett have worked together on numerous installations and films, most notably The House Project, a group installation re-imagining a home scheduled for demolition and transforming the space into a series of interactive art rooms.

THE POOL BY JEN LEWIN STUDIO

Jen Lewin Studio - Each Pad in The Pool senses the movements of a person. User inputs such as foot location, foot pressure, and speed are sensed by the pad surface. As a person moves, light ripples out to the surrounding pads. For example, by leaning left, a ripple of varying intensity starts in that direction. A stronger more deliberate lean could cause a ripple to jump rings and fill the entire Pool. Ripples vary in light strength, length (the number of pads this message propagates to), and color. Each person’s ripple is unique. As ripples interact with other ripples, an infinite variety of colorful patterns emerge.

From Gagosian Gallery:

For Oehlen, the practice of painting is a subject in itself. The guiding principles of his method are uncertainty and eclecticism while his tools are brushes, fingers, collage, and computer, all wielded with equal ease. He treats abstraction as gesture or geometry, superimposed, in combination, or conflated with a figurative register, as in a readymade film poster covered in smudges and stains; pictorial form is a trigger rather than an end in itself. His restless palette can be intense, subdued, dour or reduced to grey.

Often Oehlen begins by imposing a set of rules or structural limitations. In some paintings, landscapes lurk in messy patches of paint; fleeting visions are provoked and just as quickly abandoned. Collage is both a conceptual and formal construct, from the heterogeneous combining of elements to the damaged or torn signs and magazine advertisements that form the foundations of his paintings and eventually fuse with the painted surface, composed of seemingly informal gestures-swipes and erasures, awkward drawing, and the occasional crude cartoon. Nothing coheres in a way that could be said to have substantive narrative dimension or pictorial legibility, except for visible stops and starts that prod the limits of content.

ryandonato:

Modeled with the inspiration of a sundial, Always/Never is a light installation piece created by United Visual Artists. Always/Never is composed of timber, powder coated steel and LED lights all encoded with an algorithm to animate the triangular shapes protruding from the walls and forms shadows, ultimately fabricating illusions of fluid and solid surfaces. The artists stated:

The work aims to demonstrate how passing units of time are somewhat artificial and highly relative. The viewer’s perceptions of time will therefore be subtly altered by a different system of time measurement to what they have previously encountered.

therhumboogie:

By Daniel Agdag, astoundingly detailed works of precision art like this look like glass covers are very appropriate, each one has that appearance of seeming both fragile, delicate, and yet having that life-like quality that they might spring into life at any moment.
