Pluriverse

The Earth was designed as per the Theory of Pluralism: Pluriverse.
The end results of the design are controversial.

It may well be that humanity has never witnessed and starred in such rapid transformation, development and progress in all its history. The struggle against nature has evolved into a fight against oneself and with each other. The questions, the inquiries and the issues have transformed.

Now we talk about totally different things. Not just only about technology, industry 4.0, artificial intelligence, new professions or new planets... But about our extinguishing free will. And in fact, about whether we even ever had free will. About reality and new realities. In the end, everything is data. And it is possible to calculate the process of smart data.

Pluriverse is a story that observes innovations throughout the history of humans. The character of the story delivers this process in a cause and effect situation. And eventually, questions reality as a non-human entity.

Pluriverse
Completed in 28 days, Pluriverse was displayed during the opening of Technology Summit and
the 6 minute story was told using real time motion capture technology.

Metamorphosis by Leviathan

“Our pursuit of the intersectionality between art and technology has delivered another mesmerizing original art piece for the Dolby Gallery, San Francisco”

— Leviathan

View fullsize

Leviathan’s Metamorphosis is an audiovisual odyssey that extracts brilliant color data from masterpieces of the past century to create an entirely new experience of art. Employing newly developed coding techniques, Leviathan dissects a curated selection of paintings into abstract digital forms. The generative visuals, which are set rhythmically to a composed ambient soundscape, evolve through time and space — transforming the unique LED canvas at Dolby Gallery into an immersive, meditative experience.

This synergy between sight and sound is custom-designed for Dolby Gallery. Rich color volume data, inspired by Dolby Vision technology, is brought to life along with a sonic experience mixed in Dolby Atmos. Moving audio dynamically travels across 52 full-range speakers and 34 subwoofers to immerse visitors in a fusion of art and science.

This work is part of a series of Dolby exhibitions that explore the leading edge of audio and imaging technologies in partnership with contemporary artists

"This sequence is about McLuhan's famous quote "The medium is the message" infused with Greek mythology, Gemini. We adopted the story of Gemini and paralleled their story with the history of media; their secret birth, sisterhood, and death/resurrection along with letterpress printing, broadcast transmutation, and computer/AI world. 

Carefully composed shots allow the viewer to experience our poetic imagination of the story that we have arranged. We made sure the visual rhythm was achieved in the manner of visual poetry by repetition of imagery."

Nowness presents director Andres Arochi

Iconic Mexican architect Luis Barragan’s Casa Gilardi — an iconic modernist house in Mexico City — hosts a body-bending dance troupe who twist and move through the geometric building’s colorful spaces and rooms. Director Andres Arochi explains his interest in experimenting with the physicality of Barragan’s architecture: “I wanted to play around with and explore the architect’s design. He knew exactly when and where people stand, and how the combination of light and space makes them feel.” Continuing, he notes that: “When we began shooting, magic started to happen. Light burst in through the window, and the dancer’s bodies started to flow in a way I had not anticipated.”

Hype Cycle: Machine Learning by Universal Everything

Hype Cycle is a series of futurist films exploring human-machine collaboration through performance and emerging technologies.

Machine Learning is the second set of films in the Hype Cycle series. It builds on the studio’s past experiments with motion studies, and asks: when will machines achieve human agility?

View fullsize

Set in a spacious, well-worn dance studio, a dancer teaches a series of robots how to move. As the robots’ abilities develop from shaky mimicry to composed mastery, a physical dialogue emerges between man and machine – mimicking, balancing, challenging, competing, outmanoeuvring.

View fullsize

Can the robot keep up with the dancer? At what point does the robot outperform the dancer? Would a robot ever perform just for pleasure? Does giving a machine a name give it a soul?

These human-machine interactions from Universal Everything are inspired by the Hype Cycle trend graphs produced by Gartner Research, a valiant attempt to predict future expectations and disillusionments as new technologies come to market.

Lucid

Tarek Mawad and Friedrich van Schoor, also known as collective 3hund are two german artists, sharing the same passion for nature, adventure and dark melancholic images. They teamed up with electronic composer Achim “Künstler” Treu, a.k.a. UFO Hawai, to create "LUCID". A surreal world based on simple geometric light shapes that seem misplaced, but somehow blend with its surrounding at the same time. 

View fullsize

"The idea was to create a surreal world based on simple geometric light shapes that seem misplaced, but somehow blend with its surrounding at the same time. Shapes that emphasize the mood of its surrounding in the most simple way. By installing electroluminescent light shapes and wires in untouched landscapes, a single lightsource tells a surreal story of magic and loneliness in a surreal and intense way. Every environment has its own light installation.
The intention was to summarize all installations in a cinematographic way to create a touching short film"

STAIN - Generative Visual Performance Studio

Alexandra Gavrilova and Sergey Titov are Moscow artists, working together as Stain.  They are focused on abstract forms and concepts to find concentration in today's poly-dimensional information flow, seeing creative process as a way to render one's idea of the world and oneself, to learn more about principles of nature and human perception.  Stain works with generative methods to create graphics, audiovisual and light installations.

"Abstract objects on the projection are moving slowly according to the solid dynamics, an active environment is filled with bits of recursive reactions. This algorithmically conditioned but probabilistically unstable graphical canvas depicts a metaphor of causation and reflection on the events in the life of communities. All the scene is filming with low frame rate. The real situation in the space of the exhibition turns to a documentary, in another time, it immerses the observer in eternity and transience of the view from afar on the events happened a minute ago."

"The interrelations of the elements of sets, the patterns of their combinations, and the constancy of recurring circumstances constitute the stabilities of our existence."

"Everyone can influence the image with tilting a smartphone connected to the local network.
Sound by Lazyfish is also realtime synthesized and forms a whole with the graphics.
Audience's interaction with the installation floats between game, creation or contemplation, depending on participnts' mood and actions. Visually complex image is a metaphor of virtual structures, which one can affect intuitively easy. Participant's mind is immersed in the process of influence and perception of emotional feedback.  Graphic style hints at futurist aesthetics and has a certain irony along with intention to rethink our attitudes to technology."
