The Bubbles of Radio project has been invited to the RIXC new media art show in Riga in October! A few weeks ago I sent off this suggestion for a lay-out for the stand. I still only have vague idea of what the exhibition space looks like, so this is mainly a starting point.
from the website:
“Art+Communication: SPECTROPIA
The 10th edition of the “Art+Communication” festival, organised by RIXC, will take place in Riga from October 16 – 19, 2008. Entitled SPECTROPIA, this year festival continues artistic explorations within the invisible space of electromagnetic spectrum surrounding us.”

Printed samples of 150 and 200 grams paper, all potential candidates for the remake of the Bubbles of Radio.

This is a brilliant and very inspiring blog, and the post about the Bubbles of Radio is very nice too, with issues that I will definitely keep in mind with future work on this project.
“Although the press captured that project as “artist work to visualize bluetooth and wifi“ [ref to Wired], I am pretty sure there is really more to draw out of this work. For example, I would be curious to see how people are aware of these airwaves and how they have a representation of them: how do we represent ourselves the airwaves of cell-phones or microwave-oven. And maybe in a second phase to use this a material to talk with people about the existence and the shape of electromagnetic fields (it would require a less barbarian vocabulary though).
Their usefulness is indeed tough to describe (it’s more an intuition) but my impression is that making such things visual is an important first step before discussing them (as we human being are very visual-oriented).” [quoted from Pasta & Vinegar]

There’s been a comment of the “Haeckelian aspect” of my work under Timo’s entry at the Touch blog. A name previously unfamiliar to me, here is briefly what I found on Ernst Haeckel. He was a German biologist, naturalist, philosopher, physician, professor and artist, who lived between 1834 – 1919. The inventor of “Kunstformen der Natur” (“Artforms of Nature”), his charts are still used in education.
The relevance to my project I believe comes with the fact that he described and named hypothetical ancestral microorganisms that have yet to be found.




Haeckels work is amazing, and I am most flattered at there being drawn any parallel between his work and mine.

“this weblog explores the symbiotic relationship between creative design and the field of information visualization, in an emergent multidisciplinary field what could be coined as ‘creative information visualization’.” Bubbles of Radio link
