The Southern Ocean Studies
The Southern Ocean Studies will be presented as a projection on the
cupola of the Çemberlitas Hamam, built by Mimar Sinan in 1584.
from: 14th September 2011.
The event will be a joyful gathering moment for ISEA2011 Istanbul
artists and presenters. It will be possible to enjoy the bath, discuss
the artwork, sit on the characteristic terrace at the top of the
building where you can eat and have a drink.
Lanfranco Aceti, ISEA2011 Istanbul Artistic Director and Conference
Chair invites you Friday September 16, 2011 from 8pm to 10:30pm to
participate in the official ISEA Gathering at the Çemberlitaş Hamam to
discuss issues of contemporary ecology, melting of the poles and the
importance of water in world culture while bathing in the surroundings
of this historical building adorned with the artwork of Gavin Baily, Tom
Corby and Jonathan Mackenzie.
The artwork you will see here shows the Southern Ocean circulating the
Antarctic land mass (central). The project software runs in real-time
generating the ocean currents on the fly, to which are mapped various
other ecological data sets. These geophysical couplings mesh in real
time, to produce flickering constellations of tidal flow, wind direction
and biotic form.
Whilst respecting the underlying science, the work seeks to develop a
sensibility to the dynamics of ecological complexity as pattern and felt
experience rather than quantity and measure. In doing so we hope to
articulate an aesthetic of system-ness – a metonym for the
interconnected forces operative within the ecosphere to which lived
human behavior contributes and is a part.
