body>data>space are happy to be collaborating with the Centre Des Arts for the Bains Numerique #4 International Digital Arts festival of Enghien-Les-Bains to create an exciting performance project, and to present three other top level UK digital art pieces

Bains Numerique #4 Festival - Friday 5th - Saturday 13th June

Friday 5th June, 6-8pm

body>data>space and Coney collectives

FREEZE-B
Enghien-les-Bains train station, Place De Europe &
Place Verdun, Paris
                                                                                                                                                

On 5th June, the town of Enghien-les-Bains will be transformed. Using all five senses you are invited
to follow from the railway station, through the streets, to the church and the market, discovering the
town’s joie de vivre. At a given moment (you’ll know when), be ready to FREEZE wherever you are
and become a living statue, silent and still as your senses soak in the spirit of the town.
Keep your eyes, ears, noses and taste buds alert for the clues that will tell you what is happening next.    

If you like, make sure you email me on commencer@freeze-b.net – we'll tell you a little more and may
ask you a question or two.

Follow the red! Follow the voices! And everywhere the umbrellas!

Open to all – families, kids, groups of friends – so come and join in!


This event is co-concieved and co-created by body>data>space (London) and Coney (London/anywhere) and is produced by body>data>space in association with centre des arts (Enghien-les-Bains); In collaboration with Solar Associates (London). body>data>space and Coney first collaborated on a Freeze event in a commission by the Hide and Seek Festival 2008 (London).

Throughout the Festival

 

Squidsoup

Ghosts

Ghosts explores text-based communication in the digital age. It plays with the notion of “instant messaging” (mobile text messages, emails and so on) and questions what happens when these messages are given a new context and longer-term existence – a new, virtual, lease of life.

Discontinuum

A Squidsoup project built on the NOVA 3D LED grid.
A camera feed is passed through physical space over time, creating imagery that contains fragments from a range of times simultaneously.
The time is ordered in the third dimension, as if time was flowing in a particular direction. Shown suspended on the 3D LED grid this work which visualises data dynamicallyin three dimensions.

Stanza

Robotica IV Control inside the Panopiticon

Twelve robots – each named after prison inmate numbers – roam freely on a canvas on the floor of the casino in Enghien-Les-Bains. These robotic prisoners are sent out across the canvas, each with small tasks to complete. This robotic “wandering” is captured across the performance onto the canvas. They create their own painting in their own little prison.

These UK will show in this extensive festival of digital art alongside international artists Stellarc, Peter Greenaway, Karine Saporta and others. Ghislaine Boddington of body>data>space will be presenting in the Round Table discussions and is part of the Jury for the International Competition.

The SCREAM ‘Media Screens as a Medium for Communication' report by Bartlett, UCL, body>data>space and Art2Architecture (as part of Urban Buzz) looks at the development of Urban Screens and Media Walls. The report outlines a framework for the implementation of urban big screens in the public space and in particular explores the opportunities for artist and community content within these screens.
