Video — 320° Licht: Spatial Experience @ Gasometer Oberhausen by Urbanscreen

stunning — brilliant — epic! m.

The ‘320° Licht’ installation of URBANSCREEN uses the cathedral-like beauty of the Gasometer Oberhausen as the starting point for a fascinating game with shapes and light.

Within a radius of 320 degrees graphic patterns grow and change on the 100-metre high inside wall of the Gasometer.

The observer experiences the interplay between real and virtual space, in which the Gasometer seems to dissolve into its own, filigree structures and yet finally always reverts to its clear shape. ’320° Licht’ is achieved with kind project support from Epson Germany.

With approx. 20,000 square meters of area played upon, the installation is among the world’s largest and technically most sophisticated interior projections — interconnecting 21 powerful projectors to one projection screen.
Duration (loop): approx. 22 min.

‘320° Licht’ is part of the exhibition ‘The Appearance of Beauty’ — the variety of beauty in art that is shown inside the Gasometer. The Gasometer Oberhausen opens this exhibition from 11th April until 30th December.

Video — Rain Lamp by Richard Clarkson Studio

stellar minimalist lamp design by the new york + new zealand based studio. m.









Richard Clarkson Studio creates what they like to call “harmonious contradictions”, the idea that contrasting elements can come together under the right conditions to result in some spectacular outcomes. The first of these projects is the Rain Lamp, which brings water and electricity together to form a unique piece of lighting.

A large, clear globe is outfitted with a Micro-Peristaltic pump and an LED light bulb, with a pool of lighting chlorinated water at the bottom. The hidden pump circulates the water from the bottom to release drops around the bulb.

Video — 4 Spots, The Landing Extras by SWEATSHOPPE

innovative, interactive urban video work! m.

“In an effort to establish new platforms for public art and performance, the multimedia duo SWEATSHOPPE has developed a new interactive technology that enables them to explore the relationship between video, mark making and architecture. Dubbed “video painting”, this technology allows them to essentially “paint” video onto any surface. Shooting in Queens, Brooklyn, and Manhattan, the duo spent weeks documenting their work in urban settings to create “The Landing” the first in a series of episodes that showcases their work as artist, technologist and performers. This video shows 4 full uncut extra clips form the landing.”
