  • Past Present Future
    Tomorrow never knows or the thousand dreams of Stella Brennan, as observed by Andrew Paul Wood. 104 urbis I SUMMER 2004 ince at least the 1936 film version of H.G. Wells’ The Shape of Things to Come, science fiction has depicted future interior design as a series of minimalist white interiors of Sthe Walter Gropius/Mies van der Rohe pattern. After Stanley Kubrick’s 1968 film, 2001: A Space Odyssey, the form became set, complete with 1960s biomorphic furniture. This in turn influenced interior design of the time. The trend has more-or-less continued to this day, a notable example being Andrew Niccol’s 1997 film GATTACA with its stylised retro-modernist 1940s decor. But is this really what the future looks like, or just what the movies tell us it should look like? It all looks a bit retro now, a bit kitsch – but if imaginary futuristic interiors aren’t informing contemporary design, they are informing contemporary art. Take the work of Stella Brennan (left), for instance, and her impressive portfolio of recent works. The Auckland-based artist, writer and curator’s 2003 project, Dirty Pixels, toured Auckland, Wellington, Dunedin and Hamilton. Another installation, Theme for Great Cities, showed at Ramp Gallery at Wintec in Hamilton. Her work also featured in Everyday Minimalism at the Auckland Art Gallery. Her installation, Tomorrow Never Knows, showed at Auckland’s Starkwhite gallery in April 2004, and Christchurch’s Physics Room in May 2004. Tomorrow Never Knows is based on J.G. Ballard’s collection of short stories, Vermilion Sands (1971), a future sprawling resort-cum- artists’ colony sandwiched between a vast desert and a barren coast.

  • COMPUTER ART As a WAY of LIFE
    COMPUTER ART as a WAY OF LIFE By Gene Youngblood hen I think of computer art I think of Chicago, and of four people there- Jane Veeder, Phil Morton, Dan Sandin and Tom De Fanti-who are pioneer- ring a visual art form that ultimately is not visual at all, but rather the cre- ation of language, and of conversational "envi- ronments" out of which will emerge our future images and the images of our future. Together Wwith Steina and Woody Vasulka in Santa Fe, they inspired me, taught me, and changed me profoundly over thelast tenyears. With infinite patience and dedication, with the passion of vi- sionary seekers, they guided me ever deeper into the digital domain and caused me at last to understand that computer graphics is some- thing more than art, that it is a kind of practical philosophy, a way of life, a way of being in the world anda way of creating a world to be in. No story reflects this more vividlythan that of Jane Veeder, an artist-programmer whose life and work epitomize both the unique computer- art community in Chicago and a personal path- way of growth and discovery that will become representative of the life of the artist in our time. In my opinion, Veeder stands with Ed Em- shwiller and Larry Cuba as one of the most gifted computer artists working in America to- day. Relatively unknown until recently, she is beginning to get the recognition she deserves. Her 1982 animation Montana is the only work of computer graphics in the Museum of Modern Art's video collection, and her interactive paint program/arcade game Warpitout-the sensation of the SIGGRAPH '82 Art Show in Boston-will later this year be installed at the Ontario Sci- ence Center in Toronto, one of the most presti- gious science museums in the world.

  • The Yellow House Revisited
    University of Wollongong Research Online Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) - Papers Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) 2016 The elY low House revisited Michael K. Organ University of Wollongong, [email protected] Publication Details Organ, M. 2016, 'The eY llow House revisited', Aquarius Redux: Rethinking Architecture's Counterculture Conference, pp. 1-31. Research Online is the open access institutional repository for the University of Wollongong. For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] The elY low House revisited Abstract Martin Sharp's Yellow House represents a transitional phase in the countercultural movement within Australia, from the peace and love Utopian ideals of the Sixties through to the disenchantment and technological changes of the Seventies. Inspired by Vincent Van Gogh's similarly titled building and aborted artist community in the south of France during the 1880s, and the British Arts Lab movement of the late 1960s, a 3-storey Victorian era terrace building in Sydney was transformed into a work of art, living museum, experimental art gallery and performance space, under the liberating and libertine guidance of Martin Sharp - an artist who had experienced some of the extraordinary cultural changes taking place in London and Europe between 1966-69. The eY llow House was a unique expression of the counterculture's disparate elements through a redundant example of the built environment, namely a former art gallery and guest house facing the threat of demolition. Art and architecture fused with lifestyle and culture within a veritable rabbit warren of rooms and performance spaces. Though innately ephemeral, the venture succeeded, during its relatively short period of existence between May 1970 and March 1973, in providing an expressive outlet for a disparate group of counterculture artists, performers and commentators.

  • From Multimedia to Software Art Installations
    Collaborative and Transdisciplinary practices in Cyberart: from Multimedia to Software Art installations Diana Domingues Eliseo Reategui NTAV Lab – Universidade de Caxias do Sul/CNPQ Mestrado em Comunicação e Linguagens – Universidade Tuiuti do Paraná Brazil How to synthesize Leonardo? The efficiency of collaborative practices related to complex systems in Cyberart dissolves the old rupture and the well-known historical divergences between artists and scientists. The main point of convergence is when all disciplines investigate the same issues, all sciences become one unique science. Interactivity, immersion, autonomy and mobile connections in Cyberart require collaborative practices related to Science of Complexity and its emergent proprieties. Speculative software are written to respond for artistic projects and they place art in the three recent realms of “engineering art”, “engineering culture” and “engineering nature”1. These investigation fields respond to the high level of Cyberart’s philosophical, technical, biological, social, ethical and emotional implications of scientific discoveries. A variety of disciplines related to the use of computers and networks in genetics, engineering, biotechnology, cognitive sciences, communication, anthropology, computer science, and other areas require sometimes a scripted software when applied in art practices. Writing software is not new in art practices, it has been done since the beginning of computer art, mainly in the development of formalistic aesthetics. However, artists embrace nowadays the design of adequate software by taking algorithmic information content for searching “rules” to be included in the code. Art works in cyberspace search for forms of communication close to the expansion of life in the post-human culture. The focus is the human factor of technologies or the humanization of technologies in the cross- boundaries with creativity and changes in daily life2.
