Work with Light Resonate '15

Lorsque les architectes construisent un bâtiment, ils conçoivent les espaces en fonction de la lumière. L’intervention dans l’architecture avec la lumière, modifie l’espace pour susciter une ambiance irréel, permettant une immersion totale du spectateur dans un univers artificielle.

Faire sortir le virtuel de l’écran permet une présence fictive dans un espace.  Le mapping est un outil de projection qui, permet de tromper notre perception et créer une illusion en déformant l’espace.

Un bonne exemple c’est le projet de Kimchi and Chips, Light Barrier ou le mapping permet de passer d’une dimension 2D à une forme avec du volume.

L’utilisation de la lumière à un impact fort sur nous car cela nous rappelle le soleil et les étoiles qui éclairent notre planète. En effet on redécouvre un nouvel espace; on redevient l’homme nomade qui navigue grâce au signaux lumineux.

Comme dans le projet de Joanie Lemercier, Nimbes il explore l’ontologie de l’observation et sa relation a la cosmogonie (science de la formation des objets célestes).

De plus les installations interactives permettent de donner la sensation que l’architecture devient un espace vivant et ludique.

Comme Balls! de Ruairi Glynn, des boules de lumière interactives qui réagissent par rapport aux personnes a l'intérieur de l’immeuble.

Aujourd’hui la programmation nous permet de créer des organismes intelligents et indépendants, on pourrait imaginer que chaque architecture ait son propre microcosme. L’homme n’essaie plus de s’adapter à son environnement mais cherche à adapter l'environnent à ces besoins.

FUJI (不死) Drawing, projection, sound. 2014 “Fuji” is part of Lemercier‘s ongoing artwork series on volcanoes. It combines a large scale hand drawn landscape depicting the Fujiyama, augmented by a layer of projected light. The abstract narratives are inspired by the legend of Kaguya Hime, a folk-tale from the 10th-century and a key element in Japanese culture. It gives an imaginary and poetic vision of this story in an immersive environment. The piece was premièred at the projection mapping exhibition in Takamatsu, in the art islands district of Japan.

Arc de Triomf

Barcelona, Spain 06/05/2011

Goethe Institue Barcelona commissioned a project to Refik Anadol to create real-time audio/visual performance on the surface of Arc de Triomf in Barcelona. On two nights performance series.

Epiphaneia

Montreal, Canada 05/17/2012

Epiphaneia by Refik Anadol (from the ancient Greek, manifestation, striking appearance of divine being) allegorically analyzes the sensation of epiphany, the eureka moment that enables the process of innovation and focuses on the manifestation of virtual world in a designated physical space. An epiphany is the sudden comprehension of bigger picture, a new network of neurons firing in sync with each other inside a human brain. It’s a new pattern that has never formed before. In this case Epiphaneia project creates a gate between virtual and physical that defines a new pattern upon cityscape canvas.

Augmented Structures v2.0

Istanbul, Turkey 10/10/2012

Augmented Structures v2.0' by Refik Anadol and Alper Derinbogaz is a distilled urban experience project which focuses on two dissimilar regions in istanbul and displays the inner characteristics of the texture of a city-center that has undergone a recent transformation within a suburban region consisting of gated communities. Presented at Istanbul Design Biennial within the 'Musibet' exhibition curated by local architect Emre Arolat, the work is based on soundscape and data mapping of two regions reveals the invisible information about their context and suggests an alternative way to understand the existence of urbanization through new media technologies.

Semaphore

Amsterdam, Netherlands 30/09/2013

The title “Semaphore” is borrowed from computer sciences where it signifies a data structure which enables the mutual connection of parallel processes. In this project Refik Anadol develops a 3d video mapping story-telling which enables him to experiment with visual aspects of surface and volume through the projection of augmented forms, structures and systems fitting the architecture of the Sterncenter. It also plays with showing or disguising the analogue architecture by overlapping physical and virtual. Anadol’s abstract forms and repetitions just as well as his colours and geometrical formations translate the principles of op-art into the digital age.

Visual Music Sculptures

Los Angeles, USA 10/16/2013

Visual Music Sculptures by Refik Anadol is an ongoing multi-channel video installation project that visualises John Adams’ Violin Concerto: II. Chaconne: Body Through Which the Dream Flows. John Adams is an American composer and conductor whose works were among the most performed of contemporary classical music. The project investigates sculptural quality of visual music by using algorithmic structures built on realtime sound analysis.
