Wood Rings Translated Into Moody Piano Music Wood Rings Translated Into Moody Piano Music Article by Steph, filed under Installation & Sound in the Art category. If trees could play music, what would it sound like? That may seem like a silly question, but artist Bartholomäus Traubeck has found a way to answer it. The appropriately titled ‘Years’ project translates the rings of tree slices into piano music using a vintage turntable, a Playstation Eye Camera and a computer running the software ‘Ableton Live‘.

Capacitor by John Grade Coiled 6m high, Capacitor’s shell expands and contracts according to weather patterns outside. Environmental artist John Grade first debuted the ‘breathing’ installation as part of the Uncommon Ground exhibition – 12 April to 22 September 2013 – held at Kohler Arts Center in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. With corresponding roof-mounted sensors, visitors were treated to a full visceral experience. By handing over the creative process to innate forces, the Seattle-based artist takes time to capture natural decay. In contrast, Capacitor works like an indoor wind vane – immediately transmitting data. Set within Capacitor’s lightweight skeleton – perforated fabric skins stretch over wooden frames – embedded lights intensify based on outside air temperature.

Skryf consists of an adapted CNC milling machine on wheels, which van Bon controls with a laptop via a simple piece of software he developed. "I can just type in text and it converts it to a code that the machine accepts," he explains. "It writes letter by letter and in the four hours that I write per day it will write about 160 metres." Van Bon travels to different festivals around the world with Skryf and chooses new pieces of literature to write on the ground in each place.
Young Projects Play “Match-Maker” in Times Square Young Projects will be spending the week playing “Match-Maker” in New York City, as the Brooklyn-based studio has debuted their interactive Valentine’s Day installation in the heart of Times Square. Made in collaboration with fabricator Kammetal, as part of Times Square Alliance’s sixth annual heart design competition, the interactive heart-shaped sculpture is designed to cosmically connect people based on their zodiac signs by arranging curious passerby’s at twelve points surrounding the installation. As Young Projects describes, “Peering through colorful, interwoven periscopes provides glimpses of each viewer’s four most ideal astrological mates, offering potentially novel connections between lonely souls or settled lovers.”
Beth Cavener Stichter and Alessandro Gallo Collaborate on Ornate Sculpture Beth Cavener Stichter’s (Hi-Fructose Vol. 26 cover artist) sculptures have an intensely-visceral quality. The ceramic animals she hand-builds demonstrate an human-like sense of understanding with their sensitive gazes and anthropomorphic eyes. But despite their thoughtful countenances, these characters are also perfectly at home in their animal skins. Cavener Stichter’s work does not shy away from the brutality of the animal world, from its untamed sexuality to its endless cycle of predator and prey. She recently collaborated with Italian artist Alessandro Gallo (previously featured in Hi-Fructose Vol. 24), who embellished her latest sculpture, Tangled Up in You, with painted tattoos reminiscent of traditional Japanese tattoo art. The 65-inch-tall sculpture (15 feet total, from the top knot of the rope to the floor) shows a lanky rabbit intertwined with a snake in mid-air.
DATA DRAWINGS by Peter Jellitsch I asked to Peter Jellitsch about the process of his Data Drawings series, whose data I thought was tracked somehow technically but Peter tells us it has been a manual work to get all the information to generate such a tridimensional volumes. "Like most of my work the, the primary idea for Data Drawings was to experiment with methods, which unveil visually hidden conditions. Through devices one has the possibility to literally peel-off and distinguish certain capacities as well as leave others in the dark. Data Drawings was produced during a 6 month residency at the Citè des Arts in Paris. I began to collect the bandwidth qualities of the WLAN in my studio with a simple iPhone App and wrote it down. Similar to a diary, but just with numeric information such as: Download: 972.0, Upload: 91.9, Ping 34 kB/s.
Landscape intervention to honour Norwegian terrorist attack victims The 77 individuals who lost their lives during the 2011 terrorist attacks in Norway will be commemorated by this competition-winning intervention by Swedish artist Jonas Dahlberg to sever a strip of headland from the coastline near Oslo. Jonas Dahlberg plans to pay tribute to victims by creating "a wound or a cut within the landscape" that will symbolise the feeling of loss created by the events of 22 July, which included the bombing of a government quarter in Oslo and the shootings that followed on the nearby island of Utøya. The artist plans to make a 3.5 metre-wide slice between the surface of the landscape and the waterline in the Norwegian village of Sørbråten - just across the water from Utøya - effectively making it impossible to reach the end of the headland on foot. "My concept for the Memorial Sørbråten proposes a wound or a cut within nature itself," explained Dahlberg in his competition text. A five-minute trail will lead visitors across the landscape towards the memorial.
Pixelated: The LED Art of Jim Campbell Light Topography Wave, 2014 (detail) In a world of higher-definition and ever-flatter screens, artist Jim Campbell is using cutting-edge technology to do the reverse, producing blurry low-resolution images with three-dimensional screens… or no screens at all. On view right now at Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery in New York, these sculpture-video hybrids are composed of grids of LED lights that act as deconstructed television pixels. Contorted Wooden Structure Creates Soundtrack From Visitors' Movements To look at the perception-bending wooden structure above, you’d be forgiven for thinking it was a corridor from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, with its contorted wooden beams looping around. But the piece is actually a permanent installation called Ekko in Hjallerup, Denmark from artist Thilo Frank, who likes to create “interactive physical dialogues.” And it’s not just the visuals that play tricks on you.
