IDOLONSTUDIO is pleased to present "IMMATÉRIEL DE PROJET" curated by WANG Chun-Chi(TW). The opening reception scheduled for Tuesday, January 10 at 6pm and will include Sound and Physical Performance by Lukas Truniger(CH)+Vera Chen(TW) and music performance by Antje Vowinckel(DE) beginning at 7:30pm.
"IMMATÉRIEL DE PROJET": Hold conceptual dimensions: The invited artists tended to construction with varied materials and de-materialized media; though their art work was still precise, rich and intelligent. What was ultimately denoted by all the artworks was humanity- an individual's reflections upon themselves and the outside world.
The exhibition “IMMATÉRIEL DE PROJET” are brings together of Photographics / Visual and Sound Installation of "Variations for graphite/Icosahedron " by Atsunobu Kohira(JP), "Portrait I&II" by Anna-Sabina Zürrer(CH), "Everlasting the same" by Kim Westerström (SE) and "The Magic Mountain" by Marie Jager(DK).
Atsunobu Kohira
Atsunobu Kohira is a Japanese artist lives and works in Paris. The work "Variations for graphite/Icosahedron" is perception and the raw materials on the earth, which contain all the works. (silver and salt-light and sound in the photography, phenomena of the soil, micro particles of Triadic compositions, and graphite of the new work.) His works more relationship is about the micro materials and universal dimension.
Anna-Sabina Zürrer
Anna-Sabina Zürrer is a Swiss artist lives and works in Sachseln Obwalden currently residing in Paris. The artist uses photographs, which she found, and which, through a chemical process, disappear. The audience can watch the process of washing out the color on a video or directly during a live performance. In the end, the washed photographs, are mounted on the wall, but they refer to their origin. In parallel, a glass jar is displayed which contains the bleached out colors of the photographs. Through the reflection of the light in the jar or in the white and empty photographs at the wall, diffuse new pictures develops – a very poetic method dealing with remembering and forgetting.
Kim Westerström
Kim Westerström is a Swedish artist based in Malmö currently residing in Berlin. In Kim Westerström ́s work the personal experience meets a conceptual approach. Melancholy meditations on man's predicament are presented with a special kind of humor. In his work memory and time are connected to various objects that we are surrounded by.
The work "Everlasting, the same" (2011) consist of two black and white photos.
In the work we see the photographic documentation of different sculptures made of frozen ink. The first picture shows a cast of the inside of a toy castle standing on a square of styrofoam. In the second picture the ice castle have been put in water and then frozen again. This iceblock have been left on a towel on the ground to melt.
The black inside of the toy is turned insideout and the hard plastic material is converged into ice. The ice is melting, water is taking over and the object slowly dissapears.
Marie Jager
Marie Jager is a Danish artist. She received a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Southern California in 2004.
She was selected to present work in the 2006 California Biennale.
Her work has been exhibited at the Hayward Gallery, London; Sculpture Center and Artists Space, New York; the Henry Art Gallery, Seattle; Nordic Institute of Contemporary Art, Helsinki; MAK Center, Los Angeles among others.
Jager's practice is a combination of conceptual and contextual gestures exercised through film, photography, painting, collage and installation.
The work title "The Magic Mountain" is from Thomas Mann's 1924 novel Der Zauberberg which takes place a
century ago at Waldsanatorium in Davos, Switzerland. Jager's point of departure is the Barlow
Respiratory Hospital, one of the oldest sanatorium in the United States built in 1902 in Elysian Park,
Los Angeles. Focusing on the architecture and landscape of the institution, Jager's work examines the notions of interludes and interruptions in time and space, as well as the early concepts of modern architecture. The weathered works, exposed to the sun, rain and air, reflect this period where indoor and outdoor spaces were inverted, the private looked institutional and vice versa.
Antje Vowinckel
Antje Vowinckel is a Berlin based composer, director and performer. In her compositions she is focused on "Prosodic Composition", based on the musicality of spoken word. She has been comissioned to do radio plays and sound compositions for a variety of public radio stations such as WDR, DeutschlandRadio, SWR, BR, NDR as well as for foreign stations and festivals (ZKM Karlsruhe, TESLA Berlin, Biennale Bonn, Prix Italia, Festival for Contemporary Music Alicante, Tina B, Prag, Shut up, Vienna, Goethe-Institut Lissabon). She was awarded with numerous awards and grants, e. g. Prix Europa and Karl-Sczuka-Föderpreis. Her works have been broadcastand and presented in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Croatia, Czechia, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, USA.
In recent years, she has also created live performances, installations and a video composition. A number of her works employ fragments of documentary speech which are then transposed into a musical structure. She uses instrumental and electronic instruments as well as every-day-life sounds which are interspersed between music and narration.
In her performance "organ and objects" she plays an old Korg-Organ, percussion objects and objects in a vibrating speaker. Another organ performance is based on textes by Gertrude Stein.
Lukas Truniger
Lukas Truniger was born in Zurich, studies in Germany and has a recidency in Paris at the moment. He is a musician, sounddesigner and an artistic programmer. In his work he is searching for new sounds in the environment as well as in the digital domain and he is engaging in the impact of sound in space. His tasks includes live music, installations and filmsound, so he is often working at the conjunction between sonic and visuall reception. He is also working on his own instruments.
Vera Chen Hsueh-Chen
Vera Chen is an artist from Taiwan and currently residing in Paris. She is a theatre director, performer, and also film actress. She received MA degree of Contemporary Performance Making in Brunel University, UK. Her directing work is based on the physical theatre, involving film, multi-media interaction, and site-specific performance. In three consecutive years, she was selected into Young Star's New Version Showcase by National Theater, Taiwan, and won the Excellent Performance Award in 2009 and 2010. Her solo performance has been invited to to

L'exposition IMMATERIAL PROJECT / IMMATERIEL DE PROJET possède une dimension conceptuelle : les artistes invités travaillent avec des matériaux et supports variés, allant du papier à des medias dématérialisés. Les œuvres sélectionnées ont toutes en commun de montrer une dimension cachée de la réalité d'une manière poétique et romantique. Il se dégage de leurs travaux une forte humanité et humilité — une réflexion individuelle sur soi-même et sur le monde extérieur.

「IMMATERIAL PROJECT」這項展覽邀請了目前旅居巴黎的國際藝術家，作品包括四件攝影作品,ㄧ部影片和ㄧ件聲音裝置。開幕當天還有二件現場演出作品。這個展覽藝術家均以不同的形式語言來表達加深自我意識的探討。
瑞士籍藝術家 Anna-Sabina Zürrer 的作品「Portrait I&II 肖像 I&II 」將以影片紀錄方式來展出，藝術家使用她在古董市集找到的被遺棄的老照片，再通過藥水將老照片的影像內容消失，最終有如白色空照片再將呈現於展覽牆上。而觀看在牆上的白色空照片光線的反射似乎漫新影像的開發，這是一個很詩意的方法處理來表達記憶與遺忘。
瑞典籍藝術家 Kim Westerström 的作品「Everlasting, the same 永固，ㄧ樣」包括二件黑白攝影作品，第一件作品顯示一個雕塑形體的城堡立直於方型體上，而第二件作品中顯示一個已冷凍的雕塑形體的城堡再次被放入水中冰凍，這個冰塊被放置於地面上毛巾，看似慢慢融化去而顯露出形體。作品的畫面構圖充分呈現出時間逝去所帶來的痕跡，紀錄了時間的流動。
丹麥籍藝術家 Marie Jager 的作品「The Magic Mountain 魔術山」，作品的標題"魔山"是托馬斯曼發表於1924年的小說。Marie Jager 為此作品拍攝建設於1902年美國最古老的極樂公園-洛杉磯療養院。Marie Jager在此件作品試圖探討現代建築的早期的概念來以時間和空間的不斷穿插，以及現代建築早期的概念。這系列攝影作品的製作是經過暴露在陽光，雨水和空氣來反映藝術家置身於室內和室外空間的時代，引導到藝術家所嘗試表達的世界之中。
日籍藝術家 Atsunobu Kohira 的作品「Variations for graphite/ Icosahedron 石墨之變奏曲/ 正二十面體」將邀請觀眾參與這件作品展出，讓觀眾的聲音被展場麥克風吸收進去後，經過電子的轉化，將變成展場的表演素材。Atsunobu Kohira 的作品皆與聲音實驗有關，藉裝置將聲音視覺化，以企圖啓動哲學、美學、技術等多維的關照。
德籍藝術家 Antje Vowinckel 將於開幕現場表演。當天她將在畫廊架設自製樂器，包括鼓、節拍器、效果器等來作為聲音元素於現場表演。通常她的作品呈現方式，採用書面講話的片段，然後調換成曲式結構。
瑞士籍藝術家 Lukas Truniger 與台籍藝術家陳雪甄首次合作ㄧ場跨領域表演，將於開幕現場發表。這是一個跨界合作的藝術呈現，融合肢體表演、聲音裝置的藝術形式，藉由實體呈現的作品，更深一層次地探索肢體表演者裡身體的律動與音樂隱形於空間中的流動軌跡。

The exhibition "Urban Flashes III" are bring together of W.A.V.E. (城市微幅) by YiLab (一當代舞團) and Refractive Index(work in progress) by Jamie Allen.
W.A.V.E.by YiLab; Massive invisible artificial waves, including sound wave, light wave, magnetic wave, radiation or cloud (cloud computing), have occupied our living space. They affect the focus of life and the condition of right allotment for urbanites. Henceforth, have their bodies (been) freely penetrated in all aspects of space?
The installation of W.A.V.E. intends to capture the transparent actions and figures in the city. Meanwhile, it marks one floating boundary among those invisible signals, visible human and the crossing urban visions of days and nights.
YiLab (一當代舞團). Founded in 2005 by SU Wen-Chi in Taiwan. YiLab. is currently working on integrating new technology with performing arts, and seeking to present new performing formats.
YiLab.'s philosophy is: in a work, there is not just one single director, only concepts that appear similar but actually in conflict with one another; every artist involved is an independent entity who can create their own work, freely put forward different viewpoints and undertake in-depth exploration of the core significance of theme.
SU Wen-Chi (蘇文琪)
Trained in Taiwan as dancer and afterward in new media art, Wen-Chi has been working between Taiwan and Belgium. Since 2002, she is the core members of the Belgium's Arco Renz / Kobalt Works contemporary dance company, in 2005 she found YiLab. in Taiwan, an experimental group of new media performance. Since 2002 Wen-Chi engages in an ongoing discourse that confront her own artistic and cultural background with her experiences in Europe. Since 2007 her artistic research has shift to combining dance with plastic art and new media art, she created a dance installation "Attention Travaux" (2007), multi-media performances "LOOP ME" (2009) "ReMove Me"(2010) and W.A.V.E. (2011).
CHANG Yung-Ta (張永達), is autodidact and residing in Taipei currently. Yung-Ta's works take on a variety of forms such as Audio-Visual, experimental sound, installations and live performances. He composes time-based sculpture with field recording sources and digital generated noise where the exquisite and violent coexist. He tries to combine minimal, ambient and complexities and find the possibility. He is good at making real-time generate Audio-Visual which synchronized and present the detail, high quality video work. In recent years, also collaborated with independent dancers and visual artists. His works has been featured in numerous group shows and festivals throughout Asia, Europe, North and South America.
YEH Ting-Hao(葉廷皓),
His work focuses on the relationship between media art and sub-cultures, especially in the field of audio-visual performances. Because of his background in digital animation, he is particularly dedicated to live performances based on Real Time-Processing.
Refractive Index (work in progress)by Jamie Allen launches a multi-city nighttime installation programme for large-scale public digital media displays. In collaboration with London 2012 Creative Programming and the BBC Big Screens programme, and graphics programmers Tom Schofield and David Gauthier, this series of after-dark installation projects for public media facades continues work looking at the way digital media infrastructure changes our view of ourselves. Media systems - particularly as they become increasingly always on and everywhere - are not simply sites of content-delivery. Every pixel we light up, in turn illuminates an environment surrounding it. Screens are dynamic stage-lighting for the pageantry of our cities. Refractive Index treats digital displays as modern-day camera obscura for the digital metropolis. 'What does the screen see?
Jamie Allen's circuitMusic project started as an exercise in radical improvisation - analog oscillators were built from bare circuitry and a breadboard while performing. Since then the live show has turned into a noise-synthesis project where signals from the home-made performance rig are offered to the audience as both audible sound and stroboscopic light. Light and noise are shaped and into drones and pulses of raw static and electricity.
Jamie Allen is a Canadian anow Copenhagen. With circuitMusic, he uses raw circuitry components and a megaphone to experiment with the sonic synthesis of electronic and human noise. "Allen's compositions are streamlined, yet remarkably varied with harsh walls of static, dense drones, and playful rhythms all vying for the listener's headspace."
Urban Flashes is four session exhibitions curated by WANG Chun-Chi (王俊琪). The exhibition series explores the work of four groups of artists who make new
media such as light, sound, new technology and installation. Contemporary
artists play freely with materials and forms. They construct laboratories of
perception, focusing on human perception and the ability to manipulate and
condition it. The artists work with a direct reference to the modern
environment and use its artifacts such as strobe lights and spot lights to create
light spaces situated between sensual experience and scientific experiment.
The spatial and temporal structures are deconstructed by means of projection.
These four works offer an indication of the future of light techniques at the interface of art and cutting-edge technologies: Urban FlashesI: I will be Broken我會壞了 by YAO Chung-Han(姚仲涵), Urban FlashesII: Volusonogram by Tim Vets, Urban FlashesIII: W.A.V.E 城市微幅 by YiLab(ㄧ當代) and Refractive Index(work in progress) by Jamie Allen, Urban Flashes IV: One Moment in Time by Jiayi Young & Shih-Wen Young.
Urban Flashes ist eine Serie von vier Ausstellungen, in deren Fokus die Arbeiten vier Künstlergruppen stehen, die neue Medien wie Licht, Klang, neue Technologien und Installation nutzen. Zeitgenössische Künstler spielen völlig frei mit Materialien und Formen. Sie konstruieren Laboratorien der Perzeption, in deren Mittelpunkt die menschliche Wahrnehmung und ihre Manipulierbarkeit und Konditionierbarkeit stehen. Die Künstler beziehen sich auf die moderne Lebenswelt und verwenden entsprechende Versatzstücke wie Stroboskopleuchten und Scheinwerfer, um Lichträume zwischen sinnlicher Erfahrung und wissenschaftlichem Experiment zu schaffen. Mit den Mitteln der Projektion werden das räumliche, aber auch das zeitliche Gefüge dekonstruiert.
Die Ausstellung "Urban Flashes III" mit den Arbeiten "W.A.V.E." der Künstlergruppe YiLab und "Refractive Index" von Jamie Allen. Zur Eröffnung am 10. Februar werden die Klangkünstler Chang Yung-Ta und Jamie Allen ab 21.00 Uhr performen. Die Konzerte sind über livestream verfügbar: http://bit.ly/uXRgyq
"W.A.V.E." ist eine Installations-Performance von Su Wen-Chi und Chang Yung-Tas Contemporary Dance Company YiLab. Die Arbeit untersucht Existenz und Wandlung in einem zunehmend komplexen städtischen Umfeld – die Veränderung von natürlichen zu künstlichen oder gar entfremdeten Räumen, sowie die sinnliche Erfahrung
sozialer Räume hingehend zu virtuellen Netzwerken. W.A.V.E. interpretiert diese Veränderungen visuell und lädt Zuschauer ein, diese physisch zu erleben. Die Arbeit erhebt sich um die einsame Existenz einer menschlichen Figur innerhalb einer großen Stadt-Matrix, in Form eines virtuellen und interaktiven Netzwerks, das LED-Licht, Ton-Installation und Projektionen vereint.
Die Arbeit "Refractive Index" von Jamie Allen ist ursprünglich eine Multi-City-Nacht-Installationsserie für öffentliche large scale Medien-Displays. Die Installation, die in Zusammenarbeit mit dem London 2012 Creative Programming, dem BBC Big Screens Programme sowie den Grafikprogrammierern Tom Schofield und David Gauthier für öffentliche Medienfassaden entwickelt wurde, wirft einen Blick auf die Art und Weise, wie die Infrastruktur für digitale Medien die Sicht auf uns selbst verändert. Medien-Systeme sind, insbesondere, da sie zunehmend immer und überall präsenter werden, nicht bloß Systeme zur Darstellung von Inhalten. Jeder erleuchtete Pixel erleuchtet wiederum die ihn umgebende Umwelt. Screens sind mittlerweile eine dynamische Bühnen-Beleuchtung für den Prunk unserer Städte. Die Arbeit "Refractive Index" behandelt diese digitalen Displays als moderne Camera obscura für die digitale Metropole.
城市閃爍 Urban Flashes」系列展覽分別由四個系列以創意思想和新媒體藝術作品來呈現出當代城市。藝術家採用數位聲音、光(燈管)、投影、和其他方式， 以在具體的藝廊空間裡重現，藉由可觸、迷人和感覺來詮釋。這四組藝術家分別有「城市閃爍I：我會壞了-姚仲涵」、「城市閃爍II：Volusonogram -Tim Vents」、「城市閃爍III：城市微幅-一當代舞團、折射率-傑米．艾倫」以及「城市閃爍IV：ㄧ瞬間-Jiayi Young & Shih-Wen Young」。
「城市閃爍III」這項展覽邀請了台灣ㄧ當代舞團以及旅歐加拿大藝術家傑米．艾倫，作品包括ㄧ件聲音雕塑裝置以及ㄧ件紀錄影片作品分置於三件投影裝置。開幕當天還有二件現場演出作品分別由張永達和葉廷皓以及傑米．艾倫演出。
ㄧ當代舞團的作品「 W.A.V.E. 城市微幅 」聲音雕塑裝置，在展覽中呈現ㄧ座多極距的發光機械矩陣為視覺主要概念，其中每個單位又會隨著電腦程式隨機改變亮度與音頻。此項作品結合舞者蘇文琪以及科技藝術家張永達連同的創意構想。主要概念試圖傳達新媒體工具的發明而大量充斥於生存空間中不可見的人工聲波／光波／磁波／ 輻射或資訊雲，以透明不可觸摸的形態牽引著城市人生活重心與權利分配狀態。它探討我們如何在一個日益複雜的城市環境存在和改造 - 從自然到人工和空間，甚至疏遠，並從社會空間的感官體驗到虛擬網絡。「城市微幅」裝置在此讓觀眾成為參與者，以其身體介入場域融入展覽空間，讓觀者在體驗中形成一種特殊感知。
傑米．艾倫的展覽作品「 Refractive Index (折射率/作品持續進行中) 」在展覽中呈現ㄧ件紀錄影片作品分置於三件投影裝置。此計劃，他推出一個顯示多樣城市的夜間安裝程序的大型多媒體公共藝術裝置。此項計畫與2012年倫敦Creative Programming單位以及BBC電視台Big Screens programme，圖像程式師湯姆．斯科菲爾德和大衛．高蒂爾聯同合作。這項黑夜之後的安裝工程計畫試圖改變ㄧ般我們對於電子媒體看板的認知，藉由這個計畫將藝術展現自實體空間的限制中解放出來。特別是數位媒體系統，因為他們總是無處不在 - 在此計畫呈現的不是簡單交付的訊息內容，而是反過來以每一個像素的光來照亮它周圍的環境。最終呈現如動態舞台般照明了我們城市的壯觀畫面。「 折射率」計畫試圖將大都市中的電子媒體看板轉換如現代日(modern-day) 照相機暗箱，再次讓觀眾在屏幕上看到什麼呢？
