Striking image of @delicatethoughts silhouetted against “Other Bodies” at @arselectronica last week. For this installation, ArtEO Pioneer Artist @sockredding uses satellite imagery of locations on Earth to create entire planets; alien but familar. More to be shared from this piece 🛸

“Holes in Light” by ArtEO Pioneer Artist Eva Petric. This immersive piece is presented as a video installation, enveloping an entire space, as is also akin to shadows spreading over all surfaces they encounter. Here, you can see it in Deep Space 8k (@arselectronica) from the festival last Thursday 🔭 Eva Petric uses the motif of the shadow from her analog material of Gr@y Matter - language of shadows, in as a common denominator for expressing human presence - human traces - human potentials. Overlaid with satellite images depicting so called “Earth’s tender zones” she exposes our collective human imprint on planet Earth, as a poetic apology to our one and only common planet Earth, with the hope that her video inspires further reflection - conversation - action for maintaining a homeostatic state and relation between humans and Earth.

“Fading Species” by ArtEO Pioneer Artist Daniel Rosero. A stereoscopic 3D video installation featuring real-time audio reactivity, driven by an original audio composition. This program maps various forces onto a particle cloud, which is used to render Earth Observation (EO) imagery. The imagery is enhanced with generative Al models to visualize endangered species relevant to the specific location being displayed. Images/ videos taken during the rehearsal at the #deepspace8k space at @arselectronica last Thursday. A wonderfully intrigued crowd later gathered to experience this breathtaking audiovisual piece in 3D, as seen in the final slide (photograph taken by @kristofanetta ) 🕶️

“It has been my long time dream to live score music to climate data, be it in real time or over a time-series compressing years, decades or any timespan of recorded data, really. Sound and particularly music have a very direct emotional pathway into our hearts when communicating ideas.” Words from @moullinex 💿🌏

@Moullinex thrives in intersections: science and art, spontaneity, and formalism, organic and artificial, isolation and community. This idea crystallized in music that can perfectly live within the boundaries of the dancefloor and still allow for deep introspection on headphones. From melancholic electronic textures to exuberant house and disco, his productions have seen him being praised by his peers and audiences globally. Luis Clara Gomes (Moullinex) spent his formative years looking at the stars. From drawing galactic maps and sketches of imaginary spacecraft as a child to doing research in astronomy as an adult, his obsession with science was the stepping stone into electronic music, where he first stumbled into electronic soundtrack maestros such as Vangelis and Giorgio Moroder and later Air, Stevie Wonder and Brazilian MPB. 1. “Anytime”, single with GPU Panic, 2024 2. “Requiem for Empathy”, LP, 2020 3. “Fogo”, Single, 2022 4.

“My education in the geosciences and professional experience in the aerospace sector has clearly impacted my understanding of our planet and its digital representations. Through the interaction of the observer with his environment using sensorial technologies, I invite my audience to think differently about the movements and changes we witness in our surroundings.” Words from Rome based artist, Anica Huck (@anicahuck) when asked about her inspiration behind wanting to work with #earthobservation data 🛰️

Sock Redding described their most recent work as follows: “This series sees satellite images of our planet transformed into isolated worlds of their own. A feedback loop viewed from orbit, digital winds dance across undulating geography. It is ultimately up to the observer whether these transformations are creative or destructive, tangible or abstract, profound or forgettable. Observation is not, and has never been, a neutral act.” Sock Redding is a generative artist, interactive systems programmer, musician and multimedia creator who explores the line between artist, performer and curator. Their work often combines photography, video and data as input, and produces non-representational, psychedelic visuals as output: information synthesis at its least useful. They have collaborated with cutting-edge visual artists across Europe, created works for award-winning musicians, and exhibited their work at the Tate Modern in London. @sockredding

“It’s simple. Most of my life I’ve done art for art’s sake, and I’ve often felt incomplete. This is an opportunity to have impact beyond that, to contribute to something actually important. We’re screwing up the planet, and we need to do something. Everyone plays a part in this. To revert the current course of events, we don’t only need to become aware, but we also need to take action. The problem is not everyone is moved to action by words only. As artists, we need to create a strong message that can inspire people to action.” Words from @jpcarrascal JP is a Colombian-Spanish researcher, musician and artist based in Barcelona. He has a PhD in Human-Computer Interaction, and his current day job is as UX researcher for Microsoft, focus ng on cloud developer tools. During his previous academic life, he published art cles on topics like interfaces for musical expression, organic user interfaces, and privacy and valuation of personal information. His current research-through-design interest is on collaborative systems to support music performance. He composes music for an electronic music project called Spacebarman and creates interactive technology to enhance the its live shows. He has collaborated on art/science /tech projects at the interface of ecology, sound, and physical installation.

“My journey with ArtEO has shaped my understanding of the intersections between science, art, and technology. This exploration has deepened my desire to make abstract concepts more accessible and tangible. As I navigate these diverse disciplines, I am continually reminded of what art represents to me: a unique medium that translates and embodies otherness. Through art, I can feel and sense worlds beyond words, creating a space where emotions and ideas converge to make the unfamiliar familiar.” Words from Fransisca Tan @delicatethoughts , our wonderful Artistic Advisor, Community Manager and talented artist herself.

“Slippery grounds” by Maya Minder, Fransisca Tan, Lei Saïto, Romain Descombes. For the event Amazonies Spatiales by matrice.io (2024) Imaginations on how our food consumption transforms our terrestrial existence. By the act of daily eating we are sculpting our landscapes. A collective of international artists propose food speculations and gestures of eating in unfamiliar terrains. Maya Minder together with Romain Descombes, Lei Saïto, and Fransisca Tan created a somatic experience, combining storytelling and fiction for “Amazonies Spatiales” - a residency project convinced that “rethinking space can help us keep our feet on the ground.” Images: Quentin Chevrier

“I am fascinated by our ability to create tools that allow us to experience the world in new ways. Telescopes, microscopes, ultrasound scanning, infra red-, etc. All of these show us parts of the universe that we couldnt detect by ourselves, and each has the potential to have profound effects on the way we understand the universe we live in. We need to learn what we can from the observation of the planet from all available sources. There is an incredible variety of data available from the sensors observing the planet, but data needs context and framing for people to understand, to care and to find meaning in it. There is an opportunity for artists to help.” Words from Tom deMajo @tomdemajo, an artist and designer who is known for multi-sensory installations, architectural interventions, sonic environments and engaging video games. He is a founding partner of Biome Collective, Scotlands first games and interactive arts collective.

Garden by @tomdemajo 🪐 “Garden is a poetic game experience that combines rich, immersive storytelling with boundless musical creativity and hypnotic organic visuals. A first person adventure set on luminous alien worlds where every plant is an instrument and each world is a song that YOU make. Explore and rescue the planets of a dying solar system- each with their own unique environments, challenges, life forms and original soundtracks. Transform barren landscapes into spectacular musical gardens full of life, sound and joy. Each plant is an instrument Every planet is a song Help make the galaxy sing” CREDITS Co design: Joseph DeLappe, Malath Abbas Fabrication : Old School Fabrications Programmer: Albert Elwin Image Credit: Tom deMajo, © Biome Collective #Immersiveexperience #videogames #virtualreality #soundgame #musicalinstrument #environmentalthemes #installation #interactive #digitalart

“I feel that in order to arrive at a change as regards the environment and the state of it, we need to actually feel Earth’s data on our own skin to not only understand it, but to even care about it, to a great extent. Since art is the language of emotions, I believe that it holds the capacity to build the bridge between that which is considered fact and that which is considered fantasy. The melting of glaciers, as huge as they are and all encompassing, one needs to grasp the state of emergency of their disappearance and endangerment. I feel that the human scream which already painter Edward Munch so well and iconically depicted provides a common context for people to understand, as most people can easily relate to the scream of agony from within.” Eva Petric @eva_petric_angel_hound

(1) In between Space - “Recycled lace and textile installation based on imagery of ESA and NASA, incorporating sound of interstellar space exploring the space which humans no longer existing in body form occupy- the space between the micro and the macro - the in between space, one of which might be that of the so-called interstellar space.” (2) Vitrified Lullaby - “Analog photography in plexiglass glass with sound sensor playing one of the four excepts of „lullaby for drones“ in an overlapping way depending on how many sensors are activated by a moving body within the space. „Vitrified lullaby„ is exploring the idea of melting of glaciers, through imagining what they would sound like if we could hear them. In order to do so each, so to say, ice block is in some way related to the human body, this particular one through the medical technique of vitrification, which aims to succeed at life where it might not otherwise be possible.” Artworks and photographs by Eva Petric @eva_petric_angel_hound ,multimedia artist, born in Slovenia, based in Vienna and New York City, works in photography, video, performance, installation, sound, scents and writing. #multimedia #multimediaart #textiles #analogphotography #lace #installation #esa #nasa #art #artinstallation

Let us introduce you to the Pioneer Artists Group working with ARTEO. Eva Petrič @eva_petric_angel_hound Eva is a transmedia artist who was first known for her creative use of photography, with which she explored the language of shadows and our existence on an ephemeral level. Her motivation to create spaces on different levels determined by atmosphere leads her to use a transmedia approach in her artistic practice. She has created more than 30 large-scale site-specific installations based on assemblages of found and recycled lace interwoven with video, sound, smell, performance and choreographic movements. They were exhibited in various, mostly public spaces around the world. From February 2022 to January 2023, her Earthling Tattoo Seal was exhibited at the International Space Station as part of the MoonGallery art collection, where it was also part of scientific testing conducted by Nanoracks. Eva especially has a keen interest on communicating science topics through art. In 2015 she was invited to be the artist of the 2015 EGU conference in Vienna, Austria. And in the same year she took part at the lunar simulation mission at ESA ESTEC where she focused on the problem of combating feelings of isolation during space missions – out of this experience she developed concrete art projects and products. She lives between New York, Vienna and Ljubljana and works with photography, video, sound, performance, scents and installations, which she interweaves on different levels.
