Public event · By Fiber Festival
FIBER, the Amsterdam based audiovisual network festival, has been
invited by the Netherlands Media Art Institute (NIMk) to curate an
exhibition that reflects current artistic developments within their
network of up-and-coming audiovisual artists and designers. The
exhibition ‘(Im)possible Worlds’ will run from August 23rd until
September 28th at Platform 2.
On Thursday evening, August 23rd, ‘(Im)possible Worlds’ will open with a
full programme that consists of a real-time sculpture performance with
surround sound ('Integration.04') by Dieter Vandoren and an ambient
music set played on two Nintendo DS’s by AuxPulse. FIBER DJ’s Dubberdink

EXHIBITION DETAILS
The five installations in ‘(Im)possible Worlds’ blend the physical real
with the virtual nature of the computerized world, resulting in new
realities that might be perceived as material, but remain intangible. In
the case of moving images, the apparatus acts as a mediator between the
(im)possible worlds displayed and the tactile and emotional experiences
they invoke in the audience. Using computer systems, the
interdisciplinary artists construct audiovisual and material
representations of light, sound, movement and space, that allow the
experience of alternative notions of reality.
With the on-going meta-art project 'Databooth' by Sietse van der Meer
(FIBER) and Heinze Havinga (Left Foot Media) FIBER also present these
works in the virtual domain. Real-time data from the artworks is
harvested and shared as open datasets on COSM, making this the first
exhibition with its own API. Developers are free to use this input to
create new works of art.
Another manner for new media artists to unleash their creativity, is by
developing artistic applications. Artists like Rutger Muller and Peter
Kirn have therefore been invited to curate an app-gallery with artistic
tools that are just a touch away.
NIMk and FIBER invite everyone to join the opening of ‘(Im)possible
Worlds’ and to explore the installations, meet the artists and enjoy the
performances at the wonderful building that (for now), still houses the
NIMk.
