Refik Anadol adds to his IA work, NASA data and Barco immersive projection
The exhibition 'Machine memoirs: Space’ has used eighteen DLP projectors 3 chips the Barco, along with a custom algorithm Refik Anadol and public space data from the agency's satellites and ships NASA JPL.
An immersive tour through the space has focused one of the latest exhibitions of the Turkish-American audiovisual artist Refik Anadol, whose main components were public data collected by satellites and ships of the NASA, including the ISS and the Hubble, with a custom algorithm IA of the artist and data visualization and pigmentation techniques with projection equipment Barco.
The exhibition Machine memoirs: Space, that could recently be enjoyed in the Pilevneli Gallery from Istanbul, with more than 40.000 visitors in four weeks, brought together various works inspired by the artist's recent collaboration with NASA JPL, a US federally funded research agency. UU. for robotic exploration of the solar system.
As Anadol himself explained, “I asked myself, can machines learn?? Can you also dream? Can artificial intelligence become a tool for creativity?? Could you be a partner in our visual storytelling journey?”
Artificial intelligence and immersive projection
In this sense, to view these AI works, the artist has used the projection technology of the Belgian firm Barco, which he already used years ago in another immersive exhibition, which is combined with data and artificial intelligence algorithms.
Machine memoirs: Space has used eighteen Barco digital projectors DLP the 3 chips, selected for the vivid and saturated colors they offer, with high contrast and color stability over time.
The Turkish audiovisual company has also collaborated in this immersive exhibition Reflection Production and the Istanbul Metropolitan Authority. The artist has also made another visual exhibition in Spain this year, how he collected Digital AV.
Anadol's goal with this immersive projection installation, compared to others that are being carried out around the world, has been to provide more depth, creativity and imagination to this format, with the help of AI and how light is projected in architecture.
Architecture and visualization
“I am not interested in the material quality of architecture,” stated the artist.. What I try to imagine in my work needs brilliance, That's why I'm obsessed with exceptional color and shine and, therefore, the quality of the technology must also be exceptional”.
In Machine memoirs: Space, The artist has ensured that the visual elements are consistent with the physical space of the Pilevneli Gallery; Each pixel of Anadol's creations has its specific place in physical space.
As he emphasizes, “I am very ambitious when it comes to lighting conditions and colors. My team and I use the most advanced algorithms and spend thousands of hours calculating the data. If we raise the bar so high, Why would we want to view our work with substandard technology?? As an innovator, I want to work with innovative companies like Barco. Pioneers always have a connection with pioneers; that's not a coincidence”.
