The 4th edition of the
International Digital Art Biennial (BIAN) takes place from June 29 to August 05 at Arsenal art contemporain. Entitled
AUTOMATA – Sing the Body Electric, the exhibition invites reflection on human beings and their relationship with technology. Several of the 30 featured artists question corporeality and its development in tandem with technological advances.
The BIAN 2018 was curated by Peter Weibel, artist, curator and director of the Zentrum für Kunst und Medien Karlsruhe (ZKM Center for Media Art) in Karlsruhe, Germany in collaboration with Alain Thibault, artistic director of ELEKTRA. Germany is the guest country this year with four installation works.
Audiences will have the opportunity to discover (or rediscover) creations by German artist and algorithmic art pioneer
Manfred Mohr (DE) whose works
P1690_2x8 and P1680-D, Artificiata II explore geometric abstraction as visual music.
Meanwhile, with their augmented reality installation
Bibliotheca Digitalis: Three Phases of Digitalization, artists
Bernd Lintermann, Nikolaus Völzow, and
Peter Weibel (DE) lead a reflexion around the status of the book and its digital evolution.
Mirage by
Ralf Baecker (DE) generates a synthesized landscape, using a projection apparatus based on optical principles and artificial neural network research.
Mirage is presented with the participation of the Goethe-Institut.
