SUMMARY:Endgame/ Wasteland | Martinus Suijkerbuijk
DESCRIPTION:Martinus Suijkerbuijk | Endgame/Wasteland \nJune 2 – July 30\, 2023 / Opening Friday June 2nd @ 18.00 – 20.00.\nA generative audio visual and mixed media installation. \nEndgame/WasteLand is an art experience at the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI)\, literature\, and theatre. \nThe work is produced for TEKS.studio and involves two autonomous AI agents that communicate with each other using GPT technology. Each agent performs a role reminiscent of Samuel Beckett’s theatre play “Endgame” set on a virtual stage with T.S. Eliot’s poem “The Waste Land” as the visual backdrop.  \nThe “stage” has played a pivotal role in the history of culture to negotiate and configure the posture of the human condition. Endgame/WasteLand redefines the meaning of the stage under the spell of narrative technologies like ChatGPT. \nIn Suijkerbuijk’s installation the configuration of the human condition is delegated to two autonomous AI agents. Two custom modelled AI actors each have their idiosyncratic behaviours\, and can communicate in an automated dialogue with a distinct character that is a combination and a derivative of Samuel Beckett’s seminal theatre play and T.S. Eliot’s landmark poem. The scenography is inspired by Eliot’s complex and multi-layered modernist poem. It evokes an absurd dystopian scene\, a barren landscape\, a tapestry of isolation and exposure\, and an aftermath of “some” event. \nShreds of Beckett’s Endgame\, known for its repetitive\, cyclical\, and bleak dialogues\, return in the automated dialogue. The characters reflect on the relations between technology\, identity\, and mortality\, but often struggle to transmit meaning in a dialogue that is determined by probabilities; the logical trait of the oxymoronic nature of a quantified existentialist. \n \n  \n\n  \nMartinus Suijkerbuijk’s diverse background forms the blueprint of his artistic practice. He holds a degree in Automation Engineering and Industrial Design. In 2017 he graduated from the International MFA program at the Trondheim Academy of Fine Arts where he’s also expected to complete his PhD in April 2024. \nHis work is best understood as an experimental practice that connects\, translates and operates across the borders of different media\, artistic genres and disciplines. Within his practice he continues to explore the fringes of art\, technology and philosophy and probes new terrains for intersection within the potential of alliances and collaborations. His technical background has enabled him to work across industries. \nHe has been invited to present his research and work at art institutions (ZKM\, MetaMorf 2020) as well as technology conferences (CHI 2018\, Philips Trend Event). Presently his artistic research explores Computational Creativity and Computational Aesthetics through AI technologies and gaming engines. \nMartinus Suijkerbuijk / Photo: Hiske Athena

SUMMARY:A TASTE OF ARCHITECTURE | Gilles Schneider
DESCRIPTION:A TASTE OF ARCHITECTURE – Degustation evening! \nGilles Schneider: Presentation of Master Thesis in the field of Architecture \n15.04.23 @ 18.00 \nWe experience most of our environment with our sense of vision. About 90%. This pushes other senses like hearing\, touch and smell in the background. Outstanding is\, that our sense of taste does not even make it on the list. \nIn my thesis called ‚A Taste of Architecture‘ I am trying to figure out ways to find a deeper connection with the place we call home. After all\, our homes should welcome and comfort us and be our safe space. I want to achieve a stronger connection by putting my sense of smell and taste in the spotlight. I am dismantling my home\, layer by layer\, in order to get a better understanding of what materials it consists of.  \nI am making myself a sandwich out of the materials that I can find. I am cooking wood\, I am baking plaster\, I am tasting brick. I am making architecture edible. \nPlease join me at the degustation of my home. \n  \nGilles Schneider – Cement bread \n  \n\n  \nGilles Schneider was born and raised in Luxembourg. After finishing secondary school in the subject area plastic and graphic arts\, he pursued a bachelor’s degree in the field of architecture at the Technische Universität Wien in Austria. Going forward with the master’s degree\, he took an exchange in 2021 at NTNU in Trondheim and never left. Still finishing his master’s degree for the TU Wien\, he is living now since two years in Trondheim.  \nGilles has been part in the builders’ team of the architecture students exhibition PRÄSENZ in the summer of 2020 in Vienna. As well as designer and builder for the pleasure infrastructure kanalWAL\, claiming the huge liquid space of the Danube canal for the public in Vienna. \nIn his master thesis\, Gilles looked at ways to experience architecture with the sense of smell and taste. Making architecture edible in order to find a deeper connection with the place he calls home\, was the premise. The outcome were plaster flavoured bread buns\, glass lollipops and plastic summer rolls. \nHe is happy to continue his design studies in the field of interior architecture and furniture design at KHIO in fall 2023.

SUMMARY:Humanoil / Hege Tapio
DESCRIPTION:April 20 – May 14\, 2023 / Opening Thursday April 20th @ 18.00 – 20.00.\nAudio visual and mixed media installation. \n\nHUMANOIL – The last oil\nIn order to transform the world – we must transform ourselves.\nIn order to relate with nature – we must find a new relation within. \n\nIt is about time vanity causes some discomfort – how much pain must she endure before you decide to change your lifestyle?\n\nHumanoil is presented as a ritualistic performance where the audience is invited to install a new belief system in order to achieve the necessary changes. Dressed like a sci-fi inspired priestess wearing a white dress with the symbol of the oil-nation\, the artist approaches the audience offering them to receive the last oil and affirmations. The sound of spoken words is accompanied by a sound track inspired by the Solfeggio frequencies that promotes healing and love. (Commonly associated with the Gregorian Chants\, the Solfeggio frequencies are electromagnetic tones that are reputed to have the power to heal and raise consciousness.) \nHumanoil manifests itself as an extreme luxury product that plays on long historical and mythical references. The extraction and use of human oil has not only been present in myths and magical rituals\, but was also practically used for medicinal healing of scars and pain relief. The oil has been sought after as a lucrative product for centuries until the early 1900’s. For the Humanoil project the oil has been made from the artist’s own body fat and rendered into an applicable oil generated to offer anointing\, white magic\, or pure skincare – your choice. \nHumanoil wants to shine a spotlight on humans as a natural resource to challenge us to flip our perspective and reflect on how we utilize natural resources according to our own wishes and pleasure. Addressing environmental issues\, Humanoil serves as a continuation of Tapio’s previous project – Humanfuel – where the artist offered an alternative biofuel solution.  \n\n\nThe research behind the project was presented during the TTT – Taboo Transgression Transcendence in Art and Science conference in Mexico 2018\, entitled Human Oil: From magic and medicine to art. The text is published in Technoetic Arts\, Volume 16\, Number 3\, December 2018\, pp. 259-265. \nHumanoil was launched as an exclusive live performance with NOBA – Norwegian Bioart Arena in August 12th 2020 and later presented at Ars Electronica in the program Keplers Garden\, September 9th-13th 2020 \n  \n\n\n\n  \nPart of SAR 2023 / Conference on Artistic Research\, NTNU \n \n  \n\n  \n\nHege Tapio was born 1973 in Norway. She lives and works in Stavanger. Since 2001 her artistic practice has pursued the interest in emerging media interconnecting art\, new technology and science. Her work has been exhibited and presented at conferences widely in Norway and internationally.\n\nWith a kitchen bench DIY attitude and through artistic practice she has been inspired to how apparatuses and new technology opens to renewed interpretation\, creative misuse and critical thinking. Tapio produced the first public interactive electronic art installation in Stavanger consisting of a double sided handmade LED matrix\, and has over the years also been engaged as both artist and consultant for public commissioned artworks and done several curatorial projects.\nTapio is the founder and artistic manager of i/o/lab – Center for Future Art where she established and curated Article biennial– a festival for the electronic and unstable art. \nArt driven by curiosity\, knowledge\, ability to convey and contextualize aspects of technology and research\, both through speculation and critical attitude\, have been the basis for many of the projects.\nArt encompassing and intersecting with technology and science has been the main objective for the development of projects for i/o/lab. The core activities has been to mediate and to create discourse through facilitating workshops\, exhibitions\, presentations\, talks and conferences. \ntapio.no \n
