Abstraction and resilience: symbolics and space
- 2021
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In our recent work on the topic ‘resilient communities’ for a workshop at the Venice Biennale 2021, Ideal Spaces Working Group investigates different aspects of spatial creation: the history of ideas, formats of representing space and tools of construction in historical, contemporary and built environments of the future. We address how abstract conceptions underlying assumptions, imagination and concrete views shape spatial construction and its representations, and how spatial creation tries to organize meaning and influence perception and understanding, shaping both the city and its inhabitants. With regard to the built environment, resilience depends on how a space is perceived by its inhabitants and how spaces designed for communities reflect this, especially their symbolic properties as ideal spaces for communal living. These properties are connected to the ways in which space is expressed via its overall shape as gestalt. In this respect, it is about how imagination operates via abstracting and symbolizing perception. In our work, we address why it is reasonable to depict representations of ideal places as symbolic spaces in a degree of abstraction that is far from photorealism, and to instead find other forms of representation. Furthermore, we explore how to avoid the uncanny valley that inevitably arises in virtual aesthetics when something is not quite right, and finally, how a readable yet intuitive formal language can be implemented.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Konstinstallationer som engagerar sig i en dialogisk relation med sin omgivande miljö och överträder gränserna för en isolerad tillvaro kräver en nyanserad framställning av det dynamiska samspelet mellan konstverket, det rumsliga sammanhanget och betraktaren. Följande rapport strävar efter att avgränsa och undersöka de centrala elementen av mottagande och estetik för produktion som är avgörande för mediekonstinstallationen 'Skopéin', utställd i Evangelische Stadtkirche Karlsruhe under sensommaren 2022, genom linsen av etnografisk introspektion ('autoetnografi'). Eftersom författarna till detta resonemang samtidigt är skaparna av den tidigare nämnda installationen, tjänar följande text som en utforskande analys av tillverkningsprocessen för en mediekonstinstallation med användning av antropologiska metoder.

The City of Abadyl
- 2011
-
Ingår i: Metaplasticity in Virtual Worlds. - Woy Woy, NSW : IGI Global. ; , s. 251-265

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In the City of Abadyl we try to explore a complex digital space in a setting that invites to participation. We provide a detailed and complex, yet open world that can be utilized in order to generate scenarios for the temporary co-creators of Abadyl, who would then interact in an optional environment and in the end producing new artefacts. Abadyl is a database that contains all the gathered information in different file formats, it is a storage facility for all of the physical artefacts, it is a website used for communication and documentation, it is a map for navigating the City. This combination of interactive situations and artefactual production we called “fieldasy”. We are concentrated on developing collaboration in the production of new media and it´s artefacts. We try to produce artwork that actually incorporates surprising visual and technical proposals that are unusual, enriching and engaging. By building prototypes and iterate it over time and amongst the co-creators, it let us explore this area in a fruitful way, moving between artistic intentions/screen writing, artefacts and digital generated expressions and script/code writing. Here the virtual object can challenge the physical with qualities that is very hard to achieve in the physical world, and in that conflict, new expressions can be developed. Today Hybrid creations have become a method for working with cultural production not only with different elements of form, but as blending identities of the creators as well. In our prototype work we focus especially on interactive installations and stage design; we realize that the digital design process both demand new forms of conceptualization and prototyping activities to support the design of the expression of the final artwork itself – and maybe in the long run propose a updated and appropriate design theory in this field.
