Cymatics at Waterman’s International Festival of Digital Art – London
dal 7 gennaio al 19 febbraio 2012
In collaborazione con Goldsmiths, Università di Londra, Watermans presenterà nel 2012 una delle collezioni di new media art e arte digitale più ambiziose mai presentate a Londra.
Cymatics di Suguru Goto, prodotto da Action Sharing, rappresenta l’Europa all’interno del Watermans Festival Internazionale di Arte Digitale.
Una giuria di esperti ha selezionato un’installazione da ciascuno dei cinque continenti, più una addizionale per il Regno Unito, per avere uno sguardo globale su questa forma d’arte.
Tutti e sei gli artisti sono stati incaricati di produrre un lavoro progettato per esplorare la natura dell’ interattività nell’arte digitale. Ogni installazione si animano solo quando le persone interagiscono con essa. E così a tutti di "Be Part of the Art".
Cymatics è una scultura cinetica sonora che racconta la visione dell’artista della natura, armonizzando alcuni elementi simbolo in un contesto tecnologico. Onde sonore agiscono su materiali come acqua e fluido non-newtoniano mettendoli in moto per creare ambienti in armonia.
Cymatics crea ambienti metafisici e spirituali allo stesso tempo. Un luogo dove l’arte è un ponte tra realtà materiali e spirituali, tra tecnologia e natura, tra umanesimo e scienza: due cubi, due stanze, due materiali – l’acqua e un fluido non-newtoniano – sono messi in moto per creare ambienti dove onde sonore trasformano i materiali stessi in forme geometriche. Una musica da vedere e delle immagini da sentire sono il risultato di un percorso creativo intrapreso dall’artista per trovare una rappresentazione sensoriale della complessità della percezione dell’uomo.
Le opere di Suguru Goto sono state presentate in importanti festival, quali Resonaces / IRCAM, Sonar, ICC, Haus der Kultures der Welt, ISEA, NIME, AV Festival, STRP Festival 2009, Biennale di Venezia, Share Festival.
Cymatics è presentata alla Watermans all’interno del International Festival of Digital Art 2012, grazie al supporto della The Great Britain Sasakawa Foundation e della Japan Foundation.
Cymatics è il secondo progetto prodotto da Action Sharing, un’iniziativa supportata dalla Camera di commercio di Torino.

In collaboration with Goldsmiths, University of London, in 2012, Watermans will present one of the most ambitious collections of digital and new media art ever displayed in London.
Cymatics by Suguru Goto, produced by Action Sharing, represents Europe as part of Watermans International Festival of Digital Art.
A panel of expert judges has selected one installation from each of the five continents together with an additonal installation from the UK, to capture the depth and breadth of creativity working with this exciting art-form.
All six artists have been commissioned to produce work designed to explore the nature of interactivity in digital art. Each installation will only come alive when people interact with it. And so the invitation to everyone is to come and "Be part of the Art".
Cymatics is a kinetic sound sculpture that expresses the artist’s vision of nature through a series of symbolic elements that are used harmoniously in a technological context.
Cymatics creates real spaces that are metaphysical and spiritual at the same time. A place where art is a bridge between the material and the spiritual, between technology and nature, and between the humanities and science. The result is a harmonic vision of the elements of nature, demonstrating the morphogenic effect of sound waves (cymatics).
The creative process involved building a synergy between music to be seen and images to be heard, so as to create a sensorial performance for the complexity of human perception.
Goto’s works have been performed at major festivals. In 1998, he was invited to perform at Sonar, Barcelona; in 2003, he gave a concert at the Pompidou Centre, in Paris; in 2011 performed at Share Festival and in 2009 his ‘Robotic Music’ was shown at the 53rd Venice Biennale in Italy.
Cymatics is exhibited at Watermans as part of the International Festival of Digital Art 2012 with support from The Great Britain Sasakawa Foundation and The Japan Foundation.
Cymatics is the second project to be produced by Action Sharing, an initiative proudly sponsored by the Torino Chamber of Commerce.
Action Sharing is designed to create a platform for syncretic research, encouraging the convergence of art, innovation and science. Based in Turin (IT) and directed by Simona Lodi and Chiara Garibaldi, Action Sharing is the only project of its kind in Europe to give artists a team of robotics engineers, with specific high-level expertise, to produce works of visual art.
