“VR/Urban project “The SMSlingshot” is an autonom working device, equipped with an ultra-high frequency radio, hacked arduino board, laser and batteries. Text messages can be typed on a phone-sized wooden keypad which is integrated in the also wooden slingshot. After the message is finished, the user can aim on a media facade and send/shoot the message straight to the targeted point. It will then appear as a colored splash with the message written within. The text message will also be real-time twittered - just in case”.

“Public Ad Campaign acts on the assumption that public space and the public’s interaction with that space is a vital component of our city’s health. By visually altering and physically interacting with the public environment, residents become psychologically invested in their community.

Outdoor advertising is the primary obstacle to open public communications. By monetizing public space, outdoor advertising has monopolized the surfaces that shape our shared environment. Private property laws protect the communications made by outdoor advertising while systematically preventing public usage of that space.”

Pilar Damato is a  MFA student at the School of Visual Arts in documentary film that followed Jordan Seiler on running Public add Campaign project… enjoy!

Katie Sokoler AKA Color Me Katie is a specialist at working with strangers. Inspired by a college project in which the then shy Katie was forced to photograph 100 strangers in 5 hours, she has since eschewed using models to stage shoots, preferring instead to promote human interaction through her work and capture the results of humans in their natural habitat….when mixed with fantasy or fun. In both her recent projects, the Brooklyn Thought Bubble Project and the Shadow Project, Katie stages creative traps and lies in wait to capture special moments on camera.

‘Waves’ , by Daniel Palacios, utilizes a basic construction of a long piece of elastic string and two motors to visualize the presence of people close to the installation. The string between the two motorized chambers reacts to the people presence and movements, it twirls to produce a sine-wave simulation that eloquently resembles both the digitization of real-time sound waves and patterns of flow and connectivity found in natural systems.

Saner says “This time, the opening of the show involves it´s destruction. After 180 minuts of exhibition the artwork will be destroyed. A collection of ephemeral art is shown. The paintings, illustrations and graffities will only be able to last in the spectator´s memory. The art pieces were created with the idea of destruction in Saner´s mind wich makes them imposible to acquire. Each artwork has some minutes of live, after that time it will be part of a final composition destroyed or performed – it depends on the spectator – in a live act. The fact that this pieces are not “available” makes them free, priceless and of course, without owner.”
