Noplace (Summer 2008)
|
|
A series of physical and online art installations exploring visions of
paradise. The artwork takes feeds from networked society -- images, sound
and text -- as raw material to generate shared and personal utopias.

In a series of art projects, Marek Walcak and I have revisited the theme of spaces and architectures created from information. Noplace extends those spaces to the ultimate limit, to paradise -- or rather, to the realm of possible paradises. Noplace locates numerous utopian inputs from collective data feeds including photo and audio streams. The output is multiple, personalized visions of utopia incorporating concepts from peace to rapture in vibrant, evolving multimedia environments. A museum installation includes multiple screens of different utopian visions, while a companion web version of the piece allows viewers to create personalized Noplace worlds. A first conceptual version of Nopolace was presented at the Netherlands Media Art Institute in 2007, and a full installation will be shown at the National Art Museum of China in Summer 2008. The web-based version, sponsored by the Tate Gallery in London, also premieres in Summer 2008.
