Visionaries from around the globe will present their works of art at Sensor Festival 2022. Multiple spaces are set to display media and light installations, sculptures, site-specific art.
Peter Kutin, a Vienna based artist who works with sound across genres, will present Torso — an object he received the Prix Ars-Electronica for — a kinetic sound and light sculpture influenced by the ideas of the philosopher Paul Virilio.
Art Basis, Yerevan-based art platform, will open an exhibition titled Control Mode, curated by Tereza Davtyan and Lilit Antonyan.
Art Basis: Using the location of the non-functioning Orgov radio-optical telescope that has attracted around it the people from rave culture, artists will develop artistic commentaries around issues that intersect such encounters between movement and freedom, sound, subjective body experiences, histories, their implications and political dimensions in times of crises in our specific context. Using this space artists will explore the entangled questions around leisure, work, body, exhaustion, liberation, despair, hope, ideologies of spaces, power and pleasure, post-industrial state and commercialization.
Francesco Tosini’s audio-visual installation art piece Cielofuturo, premiered in 2022, is a generative system based on a series of patches that reproduce morphogenetic processes existing in nature. The Italian artist explores the nature of human decision making, reevaluating the balance between intuition and logic.
DALeast, an artist from China, is going to improvise one of his creations on the festival’s site. DALeast captures fragments of time and space on canvas, paper, and in public. He turns colours into dimensions, dimensions into movement…
Instytut B61, international artsci collective, presents Neutron Star, an ongoing project and effect of 13 years of collaboration between artsci curator Jan Świerkowski and multimedia artist Stefan Kormacki in Instytut B61.
This performance, directed by Stefan Kornacki, constitutes one of the key elements of the immersive experience The Evolution of Stars, directed by Jan Świerkowski. Neutron Star Yerevan is a result of collaboration between Instytut B61 and Armenian artists during a 3- week long artsci residency in the course of STARMUS festival.
