The Birkegade Penthouse Rooftop Apartments is currently being constructed in Copenhagen, and is scheduled for completion November, 2010. The 570 m2 rooftop consists of a raised grass covered hill, a lookout tower, an activity area covered with orange rubber flooring, a wood terrace with a barbecue area and an outdoor kitchen. The green rooftop is a first of its kind in inner Copenhagen and a model for the city on how to transform otherwise unused rooftop spaces into a living, sustainable solution for any building.

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.

From the 29th of April 2010. The main exhibition ’10+ Design Forecast’ takes stock of Danish design in the first ten years of the new millennium and examines which design trends have a big role to play in the years to come.

JDS + Muuto will showcase their spectacular shelving system, Stacked.

Time and place
28th of April 2010 – 31st of October 2010
Dansk Design Center
H.C. Andersens Boulevard 27
1553 København V

At the beginning of a new millennium, it is natural to take stock and examine the trends that characterise the present and those that will come to characterise the future. ‘10+ Design Forecast’ takes stock of Danish design in the first ten years of the new millennium and examines which design trends define our time and which will have a big role to play in the years to come. The exhibition examines ten examples from design history from the aughts until today. Together, they draw a picture of Danish design in the 21st century and offer a glimpse of design trends that will be important in the future.

The framework and form of the exhibition are based on the number 10 and the plus sign, which are recurring features throughout the exhibition. The number 10 refers to the first ten years of this millennium and the ten examples highlighted in the exhibition. The plus sign refers to the added value that design can contribute. From different angles, the ten examples explore today’s design competence.
