• cycles (2002)

  Interactive works by Ken Gregory and Brad Todd
  Curated and catalogue essay by Ælab

  Cycles is an exhibition that considers the shifting relationship between assembled structures, the cross-purposing of objects and the experience of the viewer/participant where interactivity is never an autonomous terrain.

  

  Gregory’s 12 Motor Bells is a computer-controlled electromechanical audio installation where microprocessor technology, machines, intimacy and the human body collide.

  

  Screen, a telerobotic Net artwork by Todd, consists of robotic armatures that control a series of events inside a boxed grid-like construction. The work sporadically comes alive for interaction via a web page interface and is also enhanced
  through a performative presence for limited time screenings.

  Presentation venue

• hex + èdre (2002)

  Collaboration image / texte
  Ælab et Chantal Neveu

  Une série de 6 images nanométriques du carbone d’AElab.

  ÈDRE, texte de Chantal Neveu.
  Des voix, un infra-dit de pensées, d’humeurs, d’agirs, visions, passions et sensations, apparition d’un polyèdre relationnel.

  ÈDRE est le premier d’une série de six ÈDRES, six feuillets de six strophes composées de six hexamètres, segments de phrases en six fois deux syllabes. Cette métrique d’ÈDRES résonne à HEX, oeuvre visuelle et sonore d’Æ, librement inspirée par la structure formelle nanométrique du carbone à six branches.

  Chantal Neveu choisit la poesia comme forme privilégiée d’exploration et de connaissance, seule ou en dialogue avec d’autres objets et d’autres créateurs.
  Écriture et fiction comme affirmation d’une subjectivité interrogative de ce qui est entendu, vu, lu et perçu.
  Questionnement du verbe dans l’espace et teneur polysémique des mots, du vivant, du technologique.

  hex _ 2 images de la série de 6.
