Resonare De INTER Solaris / video story

MFDF Ji.hlava / Jihlava / Czech Republic

Technique / video, 4K, 14:00 min

The short film Resonare de INTER Solaris is a continuation of the previous work Inter Solaris. This was a kinetic sculpture capable of melting and thus reshaping fragments of local rocks in various open-air environments using the sun's rays. The actions of Inter Solaris were intended to record a unique moment, which was recorded thanks to the melting into the rock. Here, the rock, in addition to being a medium, served as evidence of the place where the action took place and the resulting artifact of the process.

A thought experiment in the form of a computer-generated video guides the viewer through an artificially created landscape composed from scans of actual rocks and plants. A voice-over companion on this journey reveals to the pilgrims the wider context of the work, the background of the story. The whole pilgrimage is directed towards a virtual version of the Inter Solaris sculpture. The elaborate construction of the object, detailed functionally and visually in 3D modelling software before its material creation, moves from the real world back to its original virtual environment. The narrative manipulates the sculpture even further back, and the system breaks the intricately created back down into its individual small parts in a light and gracefully natural way, following the geometry according to which it was created, as if in contrast to its complicated birth. It is a certain culmination of the dynamics of the video story, and thus of the whole project.

Intra Fluidum

Chov Gallery / Barchov / Czech Republic

Curator / Kristýna Pozlerová

Technology / combined aluminium profiles / laser / glass bulb / water from fire tank - 2000x2000mm 

The Intra Fluidum installation was specifically designed for the Breeding Gallery, where for two months it connected the water microworld with our reality. The essence of this visual laboratory is the continuous scanning of water droplets using a laser beam. This principle creates a unique projection in which the viewer can see previously hidden systems of microorganisms. Another level of Intra Fluidum's installation is to combine the viewer's imagination with a projection based on the unique conditions of the site. To this end, the Intra Fluidum installation uses a local water source - in this case, a fire tank behind the gallery. Because it is a water source directly from the installation site, the viewer can more easily synchronize with the Intra Fluidum action and thus find connections between the site and the projection.

Resonare De Audire Fluctus

Studio Prám / Prague / Czech Republic

Curator / Pavlína Janíková

Technology / laser cut aluminium - 500x100mm / metal balls / neodymium magnets / glass - 100x70mm / printing with robotic arm / plated fabric

The Resonare de Audire Fluctus installation follows the concept of the Audire Fluctus garment. It was first presented at the spring 2019 Mercedes-Benz Prague Fashion Week and was based on the uncovering of invisible electromagnetic waves. The wearers of the garment find themselves in the role of technological "flaneurs", to whom this imperceptible layer of reality has been revealed to the naked eye. For the pilgrims of Audire Fluctus, the big city becomes a distinct energy hub and the storm brings a symphony in the form of electromagnetic thunderbolts.

In Prague's Studio Prám, the installation Resonare de Audire Fluctus further explored and elaborated the phenomenon. Antennas placed around the gallery space sensed the ubiquitous electromagnetic waves. Based on this data, the kinetic sculpture continuously printed an amorphous object from tiny metal particles onto a magnetic substrate in a specific way, as a tangible record of EM activity. The set of drawings created by the robotic arm was magnetically attached to the gallery walls using the same metallic particles. The installation was completed by garments from the Audire Fluctus collection, this time as a kind of relic of past events, the pilgrims previously dressed in them could be seen only in the exhibited drawings.

Electromagnetic waves were therefore not only reflected in the individual parts, but as a connecting element permeated the entire installation.

Resonare de Inter Solaris

Atrium na Žižkově / Prague / Czech Republic

Curator / Petr Vaňous

Technique / printing with robotic arm on paper - 707×1000mm / neodymium magnets / laser cut aluminium / Fresnel lens - 2000x1800x700mm

The installation of Resonare de Inter Solaris builds on the previous work of Inter Solaris. This was a kinetic sculpture capable of melting and thus reshaping fragments of local rocks in various open-air environments using the sun's rays. The actions of Inter Solaris were intended to record a unique moment, which was recorded thanks to the melting into the rock. Here, the rock, in addition to being a medium, served as evidence of the place where the action took place and the resulting artifact of the process.
