James Clar, Wisconsin, 1979 James Clar is a media artist whose work is a fusion of technology, popular culture, and visual information. His work explores the limitations of various communication mediums and its effect on the individual and society. Focusing on the visual arts, his work often controls and manipulates light - the common intersection of all visual mediums. Clar studied film as an undergraduate at New York University focusing on 3D Animation, then continued on to his Masters at NYU's Interactive Telecommunications Program. It was here that he moved away from screen-based work and started working directly with light, creating sculptural lighting pieces. By developing his own systems with which to manipulate light, he discovered he could create unique visual displays, as well as circumvent the limitations of screen-based work, namely resolution and two-dimensionality. ​While his early work dealt with analyzing how technology and media work, a move to the Middle East in 2007 has seen his focus shift to how technology and media affect. As an American living in Dubai, his art work has progressed towards deeper conceptual themes. These include nationalism, globalism, and popular culture in the age of mass information, and often analyses the discrepancy in information between Western media and Middle Eastern media along with its effects on people. The beginning of 2011 sees Clar open “Satellite”, a new studio in a warehouse space that will allow for larger scale experimentation and production. Satellite will also serve as an exhibition space for select works; sculptures, wall pieces, and art installations that take advantage of the space. It will have an open house feel, allowing the public to come inside and have a look at both finished works and the artistic process; a unique opportunity to engage with the artist often before the works are known to the contemporary art world. Clar, who will curate and manage the programming of Satellite, plans to invite other artists passing through Dubai to use the space as a kind of satellite studio while away from home, encouraging experimentation in a new environment and collaboration between artists.

The object disappears slightly as it enters the water, amplifying light's physical properties while calling attention to the illusion of the object itself. https://www.instagram.com/p/ChAesnXJnFx/?hl=es

Marie-France Veyrat, Lyon, 1951. After living in Grenoble, she moves to the province of Tarragona where she still lives and works.

Work at the collection: Urbetrònica http://www.veyrat.org https://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie-France_Veyrat <<-- Back Urbetrònica, 1999 Urbetrònica is an audiovisual installation in the post-technological era where machines and their processes symbolize perfection in series process chains, however, this work draws on the aesthetics of glitch art that emerged at the end of the 20th century. Thus, an amalgamation of numerous computer boards and parts of machines and electronic devices currently obsolete intentionally cast imperfect images to put in crisis the apparent excellence of machines and computer systems that we enjoy today. There where the error does have a place per se, it generates a new aesthetic of the deficient or incorrect, altering from the mere image, audio, or video to the most experienced software. In short, works where digital defects become unique and singular works of art. On the other hand, once again present in Veyrat's work, we find in this piece the idea of architectural construction and recycling. The chaotic contemporary city is first glimpsed in the shapes drawn by buildings whose colophon is glimpsed in its entirety from above. We find ourselves before the urban world in action, that space-time where technique and human advances govern, and that only in its fallacious failure do we approach to capture the whole and its crude dimension.

Eugenio Ampudia, Melgar, 1958. As a multidisciplinary artist, his work approaches the artistic processes from a critical point of view; the artist as a promoter of ideas, the political role of creators, the meaning of art pieces, the strategies that allow to bring them to life, their mechanisms of production, promotion and consumption, the efficiency of spaces assigned to art, as well as the analysis and experience of those who watch and interprets them. His work has been internationally exhibited in places as ZKM, Karlsruhe, Jordan National Gallery of Fine Arts, Amman, Museo de Arte Carrillo Gil, Mexico DF, Centro de las Artes de Monterrey and Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Oaxaca, Boston Center for the Arts, Boston Ayala Museum, Manila, The Whitechapel Gallery in London, Abierto X Obras, Matadero, Madrid, MAC Gas Natural Fenosa, La Coruña, Ars Electronica, Linz, and in Biennials such as Singapore and Havana’s The End of the World Biennial. And it is also held in collections of museums as MNCARS, MUSAC, ARTIUM, IVAM, and La Caixa, among others. His work “Try Not To Think So Much” won the 13th edition of the ARCO-BEEP Electronic Art Award ​ His works at the collection: Try Not To Think So Much, Mala Hierba, and Perec Eugenio Ampudia, Melgar, 1958.

In this case, the artist plays with the paradox of breaking that flow through communicational noise. By applying the term “noise” to communication, he not only addresses an unpleasant sound but also any interference in this process. With this work, he alludes to the communicational noise with which we cohabit and which surrounds us, and transforms into a silent method of influence in our everyday environment. The artist aims at communication in the art world, that tends to be endogamic and self-referencing while proclaiming discourses which are supposedly intended to bring culture to the spectator. The fact that the piece´s noise is made from the appropriation and superposition of conferences related to the art world which are hardly understandable, is an ironic nod to the theoretical apparatus and the codes on which the art system relies. The phrase is a composed amplifier, and every letter comprising it has a pertubing mission, allowing Ampudia to configure a faltering narrative, which also speaks about subjetivity of the discourse and opens doors towards ideas sunch as the discourse of powers or the power of Foucalt´s discourse. https://vimeo.com/279637148 Mala Hierba, 2015 “Mala Hierba” (Bad Weeds) is a sculpture that plays at giving life to a referential element such as weeds, breaking this space in which we recognise ourselves by making it breathe, exploring our fears. “It’s too late to be afraid. Nothing is more disturbing than impotently watching the movement of the grass below our feet. Those that prefer injustice to disorder cannot stand the drive to advance of those who express no other destiny than measuring their own disordered, convulsive and messy, strength. The risk is the message.” https://vimeo.com/139689380 Perec bajando una escalera, 2013 A library whose books lack the strength to express themselves and need the help of the moving word at their back. And sometimes the words are too specific. Or maybe they have always been too specific for the world, for art, but especially for the present moment, and we find ourselves in urgent need of different codes and strategies.

Luis Lugán, Madrid, 1929-2021. Luis García Núñez, is a plastic artist of difficult classification, we cannot look for another painter-sculptor with similar connotations in the artistic panorama. In the late fifties and early sixties his painting has a clearly geometric and constructivist character, in the works of this period, many of them made on cardboard, he still signed with the name of García Núñez, later changing his name to Lugan. Thanks to the knowledge of electronics acquired over many years in the performance of his work in Telefonica, he can from 1967 to begin to apply what he had learned, but under a plastic vision and approach, developing his first audiovisual and tactile works. Lugan develops works in which he involves several senses at the same time: hearing and sight, sight and touch, and sometimes even smell. His sound taps or his hands that give off heat on contact are well known. In 1968 he became part of a group of artists who approached the computer for the first time as a means to develop their works, this experience was developed in the Centro de Cálculo de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid in the Seminars of Automatic Generation of Plastic Forms. This group was formed by José Luis Alexanco, Elena Asins, Tomás García Asensio, José Luis Gómez Perales, Eusebio Sempere, Abel Martín, José Mª Yturralde... What made Lugan's work different from the rest of the components was that he was not interested in the software, but his attention was on the different electronic parts of the machine, that is to say the hardware. In 1972 and on the occasion of the Encuentros de Pamplona, Lugan developed his well-known work Random Telephones, which were telephones that communicated randomly between different places in the city in a totally free way without going through a "controlled" switchboard. That same year he participated in the Venice Biennial and a year later in the Sao Paulo Biennial. He has participated in all the exhibitions dedicated to the Centro de Cálculo, such as the itinerant exhibition "El Centro de Cálculo, 30 años después" in 2003, which toured the halls of the Centro de Exposiciones Municipal de Elche, the Museo de la Universidad Alicante and the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Ibiza. Two years later in the Andalusian Center of Contemporary Art in Seville participates in the exhibition "Models, Structures, Forms".

El centro de cálculo de la universidad de Madrid (1968-1982)" Exhibition Hall of the Centro de Arte Complutense.

He wanted those who admired his work to be able to touch and feel it, something forbidden until then in any exhibition. In the midst of Franco's dictatorship, specifically in 1973, the Madrid-born artist delved into robotic techniques to create his Thermal Hand, the starting point for the exhibition Faces. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCJMv8x8rGs Sin título B/N, Sin título Color (serigrafía), 1973 Sin título 1970, LS-AP4 1970

Manu Arregui, Santander, 1970. Pioneer in the application of 3D animation to his work, Manu Arregui's work focuses on reflection on body policies and the commitment to "non-normative" identities.Always from a critical questioning, his pieces, full of lyricism, fuse virtuosity and experimentation. At the same time, without neglecting irony, the artist analyzes the progressive virtualization of our lives and the future of art in this post-contemporary era. He has a degree in Fine Arts from the University of the Basque Country. His works have been included in important exhibitions such as Trans-sexual Express International curated by Xabier Arakistain and Rosa Martínez, Bad Boys project by Agustín Pérez Rubio made on the occasion of the 50th Venice Biennale, Single Channel Video: 1996-2002 curated by Juan Antonio Álvarez -Reyes and Berta Sichel for the National Museum Reina Sofía Art Center, Animated Sessions project by Juan Antonio Álvarez-Reyes for the same museum and the Atlantic Center for Modern Art in Las Palmas, Chacun à son Goût curated by Rosa Martínez for the commemoration of the tenth anniversary of the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao.

Using as a starting point a recording of hands of various professional dancers in movement and an example of 3D modelling software to replicate those movements and obtain the corresponding positioning and rotation data, the piece uses the theme of dance to reflect upon topics such as the phobia of effeminacy and masculinisation.

Its ambition is to help the artistic community to develop new technological, scientific, conceptual and social practices. The Foundation disseminates art at its intersection and transgression with science and technology as a strategy of development and social empowerment. It acts not only as a witness, but as an active agent. One of its main challenges is the development, conservation and preservation of an artistic legacy linked to science and technology, within the framework of its collection, the .NewArt { collection;}. The .NewArt { foundation;} is recognized not only for what it collects, but also for how it does: it has generated a new type of collecting, promoting programs of production, conservation and patronage of technological art, encouraging debates around issues related to the introduction of new technologies into art. A collection that is not limited to buying works of art in the market, but is recognized for its collaboration programs by making open calls for production with other organizations and institutions. Under the patronage of the Rodríguez-Veyrat family, this collection of electronic and digital artworks has grown to become one of the most relevant in the world. The .NewArt { foundation;} & {collection;} are active members of the vibrant Catalan ecosystem. They are cofounders of HacTe, the new art, science and technology hub in Barcelona. This hub is promoted by Catalan institutions of great relevance to make Barcelona a global center for research, training, transfer, dissemination and production in this field. In collaboration with several Catalan institutions and organizations, the .NewArt { foundation;} & { collection;} have expanded its scope internationally. With stable collaboration programs with centers such as V2 in Rotterdam or Ars Electronica in Linz, among others, and through their works loan program, they have collaborated with the main state and European institutions. With HacTe, a member of the New European Bauhaus, they strengthen Catalan culture and ecosystem as a focus of innovation and creation in Europe. The New Art Foundation aims to provide the technological art community with a wide range of services and expertise, in order to develop sustainable production methodologies that ensure the preservation of this legacy for future generations. <-- Return
