MoMA Line of People Project

If you are in New York City don’t miss the Moma Line of people.
Moma,the famous Museum of modern Art,needs people of all ages and backgrounds
"to represent a real slice of New York" for a giant MoMA banner that will stretch along the museum's West Lot fence on 53rd St. for the rest of the year

As Paul Valéry wrote

( Pièces sur L’Art, 1931,Le Conquete de l’ubiquite)

“In all the arts there is a physical component which can no longer be considered or treated as it used to be, which cannot remain unaffected by our modern knowledge and power. For the last twenty years neither matter nor space nor time has been what it was from time immemorial. We must expect great innovations to transform the entire technique of the arts, thereby affecting artistic invention itself and perhaps even bringing about an amazing change in our very notion of art."

A professional MoMA photographer will be taking full-length photographs of visitors, staff members, friends, and family. A selection of these pictures will then be assembled into a graphic rendering of the MoMA ticketing line (which often extends alongside the 53rd St. fence)

So common people become a living banner for a ticketing line.

Participants are needed for any and all days and they will be part of a photo that is at the same time art, sculpture and advertising.

To participate, stop by the MoMA lobby near the film desk (entrance at 11 W. 53rd St.) June 17, 18, or 19. Come as you are, dressed as you like (the more colorful the better) and enjoy this new art-joke by Moma.

But if you don't like to appear like a living ticket you can go to visit this incredible musem of modern art that realized too a very nice virtual gallery on the web.

For questions, call Melanie Malkin at (212) 333-1272 or visit Moma

IED BARCELONA & VOICE CONSTRUCTOR @ SONAR FESTIVAL

....................

Barcelona, june, 11 2009. The 16º Barcelona’s International Festival of Advance Music and Multimedia Art, Sonar, involved in this editions and in concrete in the “Mecanics” exposition of Sonarmática, universities institutions, like the Istituto Europeo di Design of Barcelona, to incorporate their creative contents.

The “Mecanics” exposition, that occupies all the first floor of the CCCB, undertakes the fascinating World of the musical instrument built from the robotics and the technology under the theme “Do It Yourself” (Hazlo Tú Mismo).

The installation Voice Constructor, Develop under these criteria, is the result of a multidisciplinary project made by the student of Video Design, Media Design and Graphic Design courses of the IED Barcelona.

Voice Constructor is a puzzle and an interactive construction game though so that a minimum of two people can play. Through the voice, one build the geometric pieces which completes the different drawings on a big screen and the second player, with the help of a wii control, can displace them and rotate them on a second screen of 4,80x2,5m completing the puzzle.

Inspired on the tangram games and the children games colour pieces, Voice Constructor propose an experience, directed to the wide audience of Sonar, that follows the premises of the festival: do it yourself y hand made. The result is an innovative exercise of a multimedia experiment that goes around 3 axes: the sound, the image and the interaction, translated in terms of the human voice, geometric shapes and expression games (voice and body).

Is a multidisciplinary work of similar complexity to the production of a videogame, in which they take part a script, investigation, conceptual analysis, production of story-boards, graphic design, processing (programming language) and animation motion graphics….

In addition, Voice Constructor also participates in the new section of this festival, SonarKids, that will permit the kids to approached and interact in a creative and amusing way to a new means to understand the instrumentation and the musical composition, so that they can learn while they observe, they listen or they manipulate some of the interfaces, new software and actual installations in the exposition.

DMY International Design Festival Berlin 2009

DMY BERLIN 2009



DMY BERLIN 2009

Oggi è partita la 7° edizione del DMY International Design Festival Berlin dal tema “Same same, but different” (ovvero “Stesso stesso, ma diverso”) che quest'anno, come suggerisce il titolo, si concentra in particolare sul "design che fa la differenza".
Nato dalla volontà del DMY Berlin - una piattaforma di design contemporaneo e interdisciplinare per i giovani creativi - come evento di nicchia, negli anni si è trasformato in un’ importante vetrina per prodotti innovativi, prototipi e progetti sperimentali di giovani talenti e designers emergenti.

DMY BERLIN insieme ai CREATE BERLIN, sono i 2 network di design berlinesi che attualemente sostengono e promuovono la creatività berlinese. Sono gli stessi che nella trasferta milanese del Fuorisalone 2009 hanno rappresentato l'eccellenza del design berlinese con 6 rinomati studi - COORDINATION, E27, ett la benn, llot llov, Werner Aisslinger e Zeitgeist Toys - sotto il nome “MADE IN BERLIN 09” per proporre in un progetto espositivo comune in Zona Tortona e al Mercedes Benz Brand Center.

In questa edizione 2009 il DMY International Design Festival Berlin è cresciuto, apportando grandi novità:
accanto al DMY Youngsters (giovani designer emergenti + studi di design internazionali + accademie europee) presenta, per la prima volta, il DMY Allstars (affermati designers e studi di fama mondiale) in un secondo spazio espositivo centrale (IMA Design Village). Parallelamente inaugura il nuovo modulo DMY Extended, una sorta di "città-satellite" con un vasto programma di mostre, conferenze, workshop, performances e feste, che contagia e inonda di creatività tutta la città, aprendo a tutti le gallerie, gli atelier e gli studi.
L’offerta del festival non finisce qui: gli altri imperdibili appuntamenti sono con il DMY Symposium (ciclo di lezioni e seminari), il leggendario DMY Klublabor (programma di parties/night-clubbing) e il DMY Shop, che offre la possibilità di acquistare i prodotti in mostra.

L’obiettivo comune è "tentare di cambiare la città, almeno per un periodo di 5 giorni"!

E siccome "un buon design merita una ricompensa", per la prima volta, DMY Berlino si associa con la Bauhaus-Archiv/Museum für Gestaltung per assegnare il "DMY Awards", il premio al migliore prodotto tra tutti quelli esposti al festival.
I progetti partecipanti sono stati selezionati da una giuria d’eccezione, composta da personalità di fama internazionale nel campo del design, dell'arte e della scienza (Jurgen Bey, Ines Kaag & Desiree Heiss, Jürgen Mayer H., Jerszy Seymour, Kyoka), che hanno scelto Berlino come loro nuova casa e ambiente di lavoro.
La cerimonia di premiazione avverrà all'interno della tradizionale Designer Dinner, in cui la giuria del festival annuncerà il vincitore del 2009 insieme con il Dr. Anne Marie Jaeggi (direttore del Bauhaus-Archiv/Museum für Gestaltung).

Berlino, con questo evento, si conferma come sede della scena del design internazionale e non solo, è una calamita per i creativi di tutto il mondo.
Ciò è dovuto soprattutto alla rapida evoluzione d’influenze e tendenze che si verificano all'interno della città, che generano un entusiasmante mosaico di stili e la trasformano in humus per il dialogo, il progresso e la crescita intellettuale.
Per questo Berlino esercita una forte attrazione non solo sui giovani, ma su un numero crescente di persone - soprattutto artisti e creativi – che arriva per lavorare e finisce con il viverci.
E’ lo spirito, l'atmosfera della città, l’atteggiamento aperto e flessibile, che porta un flusso spontaneo e naturale di sperimentazione e innovazione.

Il design è nell'aria a Berlino: non perdete l'opportunità di respirarlo!

They have given themselves this common aim: " Let's try to change the city in 5 days "!

The traditional Designers Dinner, where an international jury presented a selection of 10 junior designers in 2008 will evolve into the DMY Awards.
The festival jury is made by famous international personalities in the fields of science, arts and design (Jurgen Bey, Ines Kaag & Desiree Heiss, Jürgen Mayer H., Jerszy Seymour, Kyoka) that have choosen Berlin as a new home and work environment, as to underline the strong creative energy coming out from this city.
Because a “good design is worth receiving a good reward” for the first time DMY Berlin 2009 joined to the Bauhaus-Archiv/Museum für Gestaltung to assign a special aword , called the “DMY Awards”, to the best project between all the projects and all the products exhibited during the festival days.

Berlin, with this special event, confirmed itself as a special stage for the international design.
And that’s not all: Berlin is like a magnet that attracts the creative people from all the world.
There are a lot of reasons for this: the quick diffusion and progress of trends and styles, that in Berlin were born, is becoming now an interesting and exciting mosaic of ideas and products and an ideal fruitful ground for dialogue, further progress, and intellectual growth.
Berlin is really a magnet that exerts a strong attractive power not just over the young but over an increasing and larger number of people -especially artists and creatives- who choose it to live and work.
This mixture of different people and of different living and thinking styles is the reflex of the spirit and atmosphere that you can find now in Berlin, whose opened and flexible attitude towards strangers and differences generates research, new experiments and development.
Today Berlin is an ideal place for “ trend events” .

There is Design in Berlin air, so don’t miss the opportunity to get a breath of it!

Zona Tortona: le monde fantastique de "Moustache"!

(Photos by Moustache Catalogue 2009 )


Moustache" /////\\\\\

Is the name of a new French company of contemporary home furnishing founded and run by Stéphane Arriubergé and Massimiliano Iorio, moreover partners in Domestic.

Moustache's aim is to bring together a group of like-minded designers to nurture the development of innovative and honest furnishings that will stand the test of time. The company chooses to work with designers and producers who are close contacts ( in every sense of the term-geography,affinity and tastes).

This may be strange in the globalized world or may be a new vision of the creative process based on complicity and distinctive common know-how. Their objects are at the same time in line with the French tradition and modernity.

(Photos by Moustache Catalogue 2009)

Rather than artificially developing the principle of novelty at any price, the products produced by Moustache will attempt to take advantage of passing time and to give them a little of heritage value that furniture and objects held in the past.

However, the Moustache collection will try to anticipate and project the solution for our scenarios of future life.

This home furnishings brand includes designs by Matali Crasset, Inga Sempé, Big Game, Ana Mir + Emili Padros and François Azambourg that were presented this year in Zona Tortona during the Milan design week.
