Arthur Ganson (kinetic art)
Friday, April 24th, 2009
Seriously awesome.
Ganson creates Rube Goldberg machines with themes so “existential” that they have been compared to the plays of Samuel Beckett. Absurd would be an easy but inadequate way to describe his sculptures. In spite of their delicate and whimsical aspect, they have the unique power of throwing you into deep thoughts without even you noticing.
Heres a little TED talk he did:

Volkan Aslan - Galeri 1
31 March- 28 April 2009
dort4four
Centre piece/s. Four quarters from four different wood turned tables,
brought together, enabled a supposition of memory. The modern gallery
walls similarly adorned with fragments of memorabilia. Time pieces stopped with the glass cracked
faces, broken mirrors of the past, cracked lens of the spectacles, and
age tinted poloroid snaps.
This was not simply a collection of found artifacts randomly displayed. The collective imagery creates possible/probable narrative/s to weave the story of a family, while questioning the idea of memory.

Nancy Atakan - Galeri 2
31 March- 28 April 2009
I believe/ I don’t believe.
Installation married to video projection. The physical and the
non-physical. Nancy Atakan’s practice questions monotheistic religious
notions of the space/time before life, after death and superstitions
of the now.
In a self portrait video, Nancy drops the ever prolific evil eye beads
(a superstition to ward off evil spirits) into a steel bucket. A real physical
bucket full of beads sits connected to the the projection, and each bead is
synchronized to give the illusion of a tactile sound. Questioning the
space of the real and unreal, with every bead Nancy speaks, alternating
between “I believe” and “I don’t believe”.
PiARTWORKS was established in 1998 in the Tophane/Beyoglu district of
Istanbul.

Dutch artist Helmut Smits dead pixel
The project is a physical landscaping alteration that burns an 82 cm x 82 cm size square in a field of grass, which measures the equivalent of one pixel of data at an altitude of 1 km when seen with Google Earth. This “missing pixel” is an interesting way of placing emphasis on the seemingly immaterial nature of digitized information, such as the sattellite photography used to populate the data sphere of Google Earth.
