Pixel Lab #4 | HASA-labs, "Satellite Data Stream" -------------------------------------------------------------------------
in: Laboratoire Ouvert @ la Gaîté lyrique, Paris *Sat. 27 Spetember*, 5PM-7PM, talk/discussion *Sun**. 28 September*, 2PM-6PM, workshop, 5 Euros #4 | HASA-labs (De/UK) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hasa-labs researches combines technological and artistic experiments. They play with the imaginary surplus produced by the affective qualities we tend to interpret into perceiving automatons. Machines and technology are at the heart of Hasa-Labs artistic practice, under the form of technological apparatuses that are at the same time sculptures, objects, and installations - machines that are turned on themselves, like vacuum cleaners cleaning themselves. Such machines or devices fulfil their main function for its own sake. As such, they oscillate between utilitarian and aesthetic demands. Besides the aesthetics of the performative, Hasa-Labs focuses on the aesthetics of "curiosities," whose initial significance lies in their ability to stimulate our imagination. Aided by this propensity for imagination, which Stanislav Lem described as a “species reflex,” new types of sense-fiction and other potential functions are generated. http://hasa-labs.org/orbit_en/scientist.php PIXEL_LAB | LABORATOIRE OUVERT ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Within the residency program "Laboratoire Ouvert" of la Gaîté lyrique, Mal au Pixel proposes a series of monthly meetings in Paris, until April 2015, consisting in a public talk and a collective workshop.
