Ballard. As this language model describes images of mysterious landscapes and structures, it both hallucinates Ballard\u2019s artistic style and recalls his many critiques of modernism and its effects on architecture, urban life, and the natural environment.<br \/>\nCommissioned for the 2018 Modern Body Laboratory, Nandimul X explores the program\u2019s theme of permanence in a post-digital world, and asks: how do histories reside in physical spaces? Can images accumulate a significance over time, different than that of the object within the image?\u00a0 And how may our imaginations of an afterlife be impacted by A.I. systems that are increasingly capable of archiving and emulating an individual\u2019s creative output.<br \/>\nMade possible by The Modern Body Festival, Yukun Zhu, Google Artists and Machine Intelligence, Maxwell Forbes, and the University of Washington Center for Digital Arts and Experimental Media.<br \/>\nVoice over by Kevin Walton.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-row\"><div class=\"su-column su-column-size-1-4\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-clearfix\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1015\" src=\"https:\/\/modernbodyfestival.org\/2016\/wp-content\/uploads\/MBL2_Tivon_Rice_The_Voices_of_Nandimul_X_portrait_1920px-420x420.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/modernbodyfestival.org\/2016\/wp-content\/uploads\/MBL2_Tivon_Rice_The_Voices_of_Nandimul_X_portrait_1920px-420x420.jpg 420w, https:\/\/modernbodyfestival.org\/2016\/wp-content\/uploads\/MBL2_Tivon_Rice_The_Voices_of_Nandimul_X_portrait_1920px-744x744.jpg 744w, https:\/\/modernbodyfestival.org\/2016\/wp-content\/uploads\/MBL2_Tivon_Rice_The_Voices_of_Nandimul_X_portrait_1920px-1200x1200.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/modernbodyfestival.org\/2016\/wp-content\/uploads\/MBL2_Tivon_Rice_The_Voices_of_Nandimul_X_portrait_1920px.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/tivonrice.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tivon Rice<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"su-column su-column-size-3-4\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-clearfix\">\n<p><strong>Tivon Rice<\/strong> (US\/NL) is an artist and educator working at the intersections of visual studies and technology. Based in Seattle (US) and Den Haag (NL), his work critically explores representation and communication in the context of digital culture. His projects incorporate a variety of materials \u2013 both real and virtual \u2013 and examine the ways physical environments and mass media create images, and in turn build histories around sites and communities. With recent exhibitions in China, Taiwan, Korea, and The Netherlands, Rice has focused on urban development, architecture, preservation, and visual media as key factors in determining how cities and cultures imagine their past, present, and future. Rice holds a PhD in Digital Art + Experimental Media from the University of Washington, where he is currently an Affiliate Artist. He was a 2011-2012 Fulbright Researcher in South Korea, a recipient of the inaugural 4Culture Tech Specific Grant, and one of the first artists to collaborate with Google AMI &#8211; The Artists and Machine Intelligence research group.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div> <\/div>\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:15px 0;border-width:3px;border-color:#d2f4f6\"><a href=\"#\" style=\"color:#d2f4f6\">Go to top<\/a><\/div>\n<h3><a id=\"MURWSauna\"><\/a>MURW (Floris van Bergeijk)\u00a0 |\u00a0 <em>Kicks for Sauna <\/em><\/h3>\n<p><em>Commissioned for the Hot Listening Booth<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Did you ever live in a drum?<br \/>\nNo.<\/p>\n<p>Well then you aren\u2019t me.<br \/>\nI only dreamt I lived in a drum.

The piece re-imagines the form, function, and experience of a bathhouse from a contemporary perspective and within the context of an art exhibition. It creates an algorithmically-driven, hyper-real world of full immersion \u2013 an intense reactive space with its own microclimate and evolving soundscape, where you can slow down, disconnect and recharge while engaging with the work and other visitors in unexpected ways. The piece employs a new sensing technique I developed for my Hertzian Field works, inspired by obscure surveillance research and radio astronomy. By capturing ordinary WiFi waves and analyzing their interference patterns, the system maps sound to the flows of water molecules inside the space \u2013 those of the steam and those within the bodies of visitors.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-row\"><div class=\"su-column su-column-size-1-4\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-clearfix\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1106\" src=\"https:\/\/modernbodyfestival.org\/2016\/wp-content\/uploads\/Stelios-Manousakis-1024x768_web-1-420x560.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/modernbodyfestival.org\/2016\/wp-content\/uploads\/Stelios-Manousakis-1024x768_web-1-420x560.jpg 420w, https:\/\/modernbodyfestival.org\/2016\/wp-content\/uploads\/Stelios-Manousakis-1024x768_web-1-744x992.jpg 744w, https:\/\/modernbodyfestival.org\/2016\/wp-content\/uploads\/Stelios-Manousakis-1024x768_web-1.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/modularbrains.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Stelios Manousakis<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"su-column su-column-size-3-4\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-clearfix\">\n<p><strong>Stelios Manousakis <\/strong>(GR\/NL) is an artist exploring relationships between time, space, body, system, and sound.

Simply with the body\u2019s movement on an almost empty stage, he is able to reveal that which is the invisible. In the days he was studying economics and business management and working part-time at the fish market in Tokyo, Kusuda discovered dance as his form of expression and gained almost immediate recognition with his very personal and intense movement language.

His solo-performance is based around semi-structured improvisations, using drums, percussion, electronics, vintage keyboards and synthesizers. Gerri uses his drum-set to trigger analogue synthesizers and manipulates it by wiring it onto a bunch of effect pedals originally made for guitar players.
