AN EVENT PRESENTED BY THE MASTER OF ARTS IN GAME DESIGN AT IULM UNIVERSITY

FOCI + LOCI

TOPOS

PLEASE RSVP

Topos is a long-term WIP and a game art performance combining a two-channel video projection of artist-built game spaces. The piece examines the cultural shift from the mechanized, topographic 20th century to the topological experience of the digital era through virtual, kinetic portraits. Subjects will include modernist artists concerned with time and movement such as F.T. Marinetti, Claude Cahun, Scott Joplin and others. Navigating custom game spaces in real time, the performers will explore the grand shift from the physical to the virtual.

foci + loci evolved through a fascination with the malleability of virtual space paired with an interest in electroacoustic improvisation leading the duo (Chris Burke and Tamara Yadao) to design spaces that could be “played” as instruments. foci + loci received a NYSCA grant for 2013 to develop their full scale game art performance installation ‘Bal(l)ade’. Tamara received an American Composers' Forum grant in 2015 commissioning the music for foci + loci's "Another Kind of Spiral" which premiered at Cluster Festival in Winnipeg with a performance at Centre Georges Pompidou following soon after. Other performances and exhibits include GAME VIDEO/ART. A SURVEY an official exhibition of the 21st Triennale of Milan, Vector Festival in Toronto, Babycastles, The Stone, and Joe's Pub in NYC.

REGISTRAZIONE NECESSARIA

Topos è un progetto a lungo termine tutt'ora in fase di sviluppo nonché una performance di Game Art che combina una proiezione a doppio canale con gli spazi videoludici appositamente creati dai due artisti. L'opera tematizza il passaggio dalla cultura meccanica e topografica del ventesimo secolo a quella topologica dell'epoca digitale attraverso ritratti virtuali e cinetici di artisti modernisti che hanno riflettuto su concetti quali tempo e movimento, tra cui F.T. Marinetti, Claude Cahun, Scott Joplin e molti altri. Navigando gli spazi videoludici in tempo reale, i performers mettono in scena la frattura dal fisico al virtuale. 

La passione per gli spazi virtuali e l'improvvisazione elettroacustica hanno spinto il duo formato da Chris Burke e Tamara Yadao a progettare degli spazi "suonabili/giocabili" in quanto strumenti. foci + loci ha ricevuto un finanziamento della NYSCA per sviluppare la performance di Game Art "Bal(l)ade". Nel 2015, Yadao ha ricevuto un finanziamento dall'American Composers' per comporre la colonna sonora dell'installazione "Another Kind of Spiral" di foci + loci, presentata ufficialmente al Cluster Festival di Winnipeg e seguita da un'esecuzione al Centre Georges Pompidou. Altre performance del duo includono GAME VIDEO/ART. A SURVEY un evento ufficiale della XXI Triennale di Milan, Vector Festival a Toronto, Babycastles, The Stone e Joe's Pub a New York.
