Lumarca @ Eyebeam – NYC
Here's a quick but highly recommended free visit proposal for next week in NYC: Lumarca. The installation is a volumetric display which allows viewers to see 3D images and motion. The system requires only a computer, a projector, and common materials found at most hardware stores. Its scale is limited only by the size of the projected image and.... your own ambition. Conceived as an affordable platform for artists to design compelling content, Lumarca is a collaboration between Albert Hwang,…

Mechanisms @ Flowers Gallery – London
London's Kinetica Art Fair finished a month ago, and kinetic sculpture expert Tim Lewis was there once again to fascinate (or scare) most of the mortals visiting the event... Starting yesterday the Englishman will bring his fascination for the robotic world and his endless list of nature and fabrication questions to East London's "Flowers Gallery". New man-animal-machine hybrids, new doubts and also new working processes.... Like for his greenish Jetsam sculpture, a Kiwi-like object whose mechanism is partially visible through…

Aalterations @ Le Cube – Paris
A first for Christobal de Oliveira who just presented his debut personal exhibition @ Le Cube a week ago built around his film Aalterate which draws us into exploring the psyche of a woman plunged into a coma, seeking the reason for her unconscious state. Christobal de Oliveira - Aalterate (image via Le Cube) "Aalterations" immerses the visitor in a landscape of the mind, created using constant changes and disintegrating beauty, somewhere between pure lines and crumpled sheet metal, between…

Rain Room @ Barbican – London
Designers or artists? Florian Ortkrass, founder of rAndom International still has some doubts about how to define its own collective even if his fellow partner Stuart Wood is convinced about the artistic dimension of their works.

Rain Room - view with people (all images via rAndom Int.) Their always flexible "Curve" gallery opens today the installation to the public for…

Knowing when you're going to die it's somehow scary, so when you enter the dark room with Timo Toot's "Memopol II" machine installed @La Gaîté Lyrique and ask it to scan your ID for "public" information about yourself you may get the nasty surprise of learning when your government (or some other dark international institution) expects you to die. For me... in 2057, something I'm not looking forward too. Memopol II is one of the 5 installations proposed at the…

Orange between orange and Orange @ Carroll/Fletcher – London
