Quantum Sensitivity

17. Oktober 2013, 16.00 Uhr Kollegiumgasse 2, Interface Culture Lecture Room

Interface Cultures lädt zum Gastvortrag von Evelina Domnitch and Dmitry Gelfand.

Domnitch and Gelfand began their artistic collaboration with a dismissal of fixative and recording media in favor of dynamically transforming liquids, gases and force fields propagating through these fluid environs.  Leading to imploding sonoluminescent bubbles, acoustically levitated droplet lattices, and prismatic condensation trails of subatomic charges, their pursuit lies at the thresholds of scientific insight, the slippery frontier where quantum behavior arises on macroscopic scales.

Bio
Evelina Domnitch (b. 1972, Minsk, Belarus) and Dmitry Gelfand (b.1974, St. Petersburg, Russia) create sensory immersion environments that merge physics, chemistry and computer science with uncanny philosophical practices. Current findings, particularly in the domain of mesoscopics, are employed by the artists to investigate questions of perception and perpetuity. The duo has collaborated with numerous scientific research facilities, including the Drittes Physikalisches Institut (Goettingen University, Germany), the Institute of Advanced Sciences and Technologies (Japan),and the Vrije Universiteit (The Netherlands). They are recipients of the JapanMedia Arts Excellence Prize (2007), and four Ars Electronica Honorary Mentions(2007, 2009, 2011, 2013).
