Dear Colleagues and Friends,
2019 has been a busy year for Leonardo/Olats and it is our
great pleasure to give you those three gifts to end the
year. Enjoy !
*> /Neotenous Dark Dwellers – Lygophilia/, **Robertina
Šebjanič**, video capsule***
http://www.olats.org/ope/ope.php
(may not work on Chrome)
On December 5th, Leonardo/Olats was launching the video
capsule about Robertina Šebjanič’s /Neotenous Dark
Dwellers/artwork, in the framework of the « Aquatic
Twillight » exhibition that is presenting the whole series
of works belonging to the artist /Lygophilia/ project at the
Galerija Tobačna 001 in Ljubljana (until January 15th 2020).
Based on the MemoRekall app, this video capsule is proposing
a new online publication format in which various texts and
documents are contextualising the artwork as the video rolls.
The « table of content » of the texts is appearing on a
right side column as the video progresses. When one is
selected a window opens that allows to read the text by
clicking on the thumb nail image on the left side of the window.
The video capsule includes texts by Polona Tratnik, María
Antonia González Valerio, Gregor Aljančič and Magdalena
Năpăruş Aljančič and Annick Bureaud who is the editor of
this project.

*> Virtual Africa : « Women Curators », series of podcasts*
http://www.olats.org/africa/podcasts/podcastsCuratrices.php
Leonardo/Olats has relaunched its Virtual Africa project
under the direction of Yvan Tina.
The gift of Yvan Tina for this end of the year is the first
series of seven podcasts with the curators *Oulimata Gueye,
Elise Atangana, Olivia Maëlle Breuleur et Aude-Christel Mbga*.
Yvan Tina writes : Virtual Africa is a project that aims to
facilitate the encounters between the arts, sciences and new
technologies in Africa and within the African diaspora.
In this series of interviews, one is interested in aesthetic
issues related to the use of technology and contemporary
curatorial practices, giving a voice to the women who
contribute to the enlightening of the African scene (and its
diaspora) through their work as artists, critics, art
historians or curators.
Have a nice listening ! (the podcasts are in French)
*> LASER Paris : the video recordings are online*
http://www.olats.org/laser/laser.php
This year, we have crossed Paris in its diagonale with the
LASER meetings, from Ground Control to the Centquatre and
then to the Pompidou Centre. The videos of this last meeting
with Félicie d’Estienne d’Orves and Fabio Acero about their
project /Light DNA/ and with Sandra and Gaspard
Bébié-Valérian around their project /MyCore/ are online on
YouTube and Vimeo (the introductions at the begining of each
video are the same).
Leonardo/Olats has received support from the Daniel and Nina
Carasso Foundation for those projects in 2019. The
/Neotenous Dark Dwellers - Lygophilia /video capsule
received support from the Projekt Atol Institute.
Nice watch, good reading and happy listening and ... enjoy
the rest of 2019, see you again next year !
Annick Bureaud
