NETFILMMAKERS, online gallery for NetArt and NetVideo, presents PRIVATE BITS, an exhibition focusing on data visualization. The curator is Carl Emil Carlsen who works with interactive audiovisual systems as a designer, artist and teacher.

PRIVATE BITS:

The data cloud is growing at higher rates everyday. It can be regarded as a new kind of shared long term memory for humanity, relying on networked databases hidden in cooled basements. We strap on digital goggles in the shape of search engines and pick out particles of interest from the cloud. Fascinated by the new possibilities we tend to forget that the goggles we wear only provide a narrow angle of view and in effect function like horse blinds. Behind us sits the coachman in the shape of corporate directors, pulling our heads in the direction of the highest bidder – or in best case, in the direction it is assumed we want to look.

In order to get our own perspective on the data cloud, we must acquire the skill to construct digital optics. This skill is called data visualization and it can be used to crystallize areas of the cloud into concrete form, visible to the eye.

With the theme Private Bits the artists of this season at netfilmmakers are asked to explore themselves through data visualization. Instead of trying to construct a “macroscope” to grasp the totality of the cloud, they will build microscopes and zoom in on the patterns in their own lives. Through free experimentation with personal data they will hopefully make findings that illuminate otherwise invisible habits. What findings they choose to share and how they chose to present them is completely up to them.

The invited artists are Field (Marcus Wendt & Vera-Maria Glahn) from Germany, Tim Knapen from Belgium and Peter Koraca from Slovenia, who all work in the borderline between art and interaction design.

The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies and The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design have organized a fun and provocative exhibition to celebrate food and design entitled:

DELICIOUS ARCHITECTURE

The exhibition opens at Contemporary Space Athens (46-48 Megalou Vasilious in Rouf/Athens) May 12 and continues through August 1, 2010.
The Athens opening reception takes place on Wednesday, May 12 from 8:00-10:00 PM.

The exhibition premiered at the Fondazione Riccardo Catella in Milan and toured throughout Europe.

DELICIOUS ARCHITECTURE explores the historic relationship between food and design and ultimately its final presentation. The proposed creations range from extraordinary and futuristic towers, pyramids, spires, temples, obelisks, sculpture, even skyscrapers that celebrate the fun in today’s contemporary architecture—using food and cooking as the source of their inspiration.

DELICIOUS ARCHITECTURE is curated by Christian K. Narkiewicz-Laine the prominent Finnish architecture and design journalist and critic and Museum President, The Chicago Athenaeum.  Both The Chicago Athenaeum and The European Centre have invited over 50 of the world’s most prominent architects and designers to create a work of architecture that explores artistic decorations and monuments made of food primarily cakes and confectionery fantasies.

Iwan has made his photographic journey at our New Holmenkollen Ski Jump.  We are happy to introduce a few of his images.  For more information regarding these images, please contact Iwan Baan here.

The Architecture Foundation is collaborating with the Museum of Modern Art, Warsaw, and curator Grzegorz Piatek on an exchange programme for emerging architects from Poland and the UK. Polish practices Beton,Aleksandra Wasilkowska and WWAA, and UK-based Common Office,Dallas Pierce Quintero and office for subversive architecture will be participating in programmes in both countries. Along with talks in London and Warsaw, the practices will take part in activities that explore challenges and opportunities these two cities must each address, including stalled corporate buildings, and preparation for major sporting events in 2012.

This evening, the second event in the series will see Aleksandra Wasilkowska in conversation with Finn Williams from Common Office. They will discuss their respective practices and projects, in a conversation chaired by Golden Lion winning curator Grzegorz Piatek.

Aleksandra Wasilkowska’s architectural practice explores the territory between art, architecture and urbanism.  Its collaborative profile blurs the limits between fields such as sociology, ecology, complex science and unfolds the theory within the practice. Her projects oscillate betweensustainable buildings , private houses, gardens, interiors, art installations in public space, exhibition design, sculptures and virtual social experiments. She has contributed to a number of publications. Recurring themes in her projects are: complexity and collective behaviours, interdependency and self-organisation , fiction and narration as constitutive urban processes. Aleksandra Wasilkowska and the artist Agnieszka Kurant have been selected to design an installation for the Polish Pavilion, curated by Elias Redstone, at the 12th International Architecture Exhibition in Venice.

Common Office was founded by Finn Williams to address the built environment beyond architecture. The practice works between politics, economy, people and policy, focusing on why buildings come about, as well as what they look like. Current projects include a homeowners’ handbook for exploiting legislative loopholes, a communal diary for a contested public space in East London, and a biography of the Standard House Type. Common Office aims to act as an unofficial ombudsman forurban planning , shaping common places through interpretation, design and diplomacy. William’s work has been exhibited at the Venice Biennale in 2006, the Building Centre, and the Berlage Institute. He curated the exhibition The Rule of Regulations for The Architecture Foundation, and was named by Blueprint Magazine as one of ‘25 inspiring people who will change architecture and design in 2010’.

New Architects: Poland_UK is supported by the Royal College of Art,British Council (Poland) and is part of POLSKA! YEAR, a celebration of Polish Culture across the UK, coordinated by the Adam Mickiewicz Institute.

Airspace Rebooted from ItoWorld on Vimeo.

A visualisation of the northern European airspace returning to use after being closed due to volcanic ash. Due to varying ash density across Europe, the first flights can be seen in some areas on the 18th and by the 20th everywhere is open.

The flight data is courtesy of flightradar24.com and covers a large fraction of Europe. There are a few gaps (most noticeably France) and no coverage over the Atlantic, but the picture is still clear.
