Piotr Kowalski : "Identity" (n°2), 1978

Piotr Kowalski, born March 2, 1927 in Lviv in Poland (now the city is located in Ukraine) and died January 7, 2004 in Paris at the age of 76, was much more than a sculptor, mathematician and architect.

Piotr Kowalski is one of the pioneers of the art technology, its different caps (arts, sciences, engineering) will allow it to link practices that some believe culturally incompatible.

Shawn Lani: "Icy Bodies"

swirls art and science in this mesmerising installation. Shards of frozen dry ice sublimate as they are released into a satisfyingly large and dark basin. The gas then propels them, leaving little wakes at they snake about. It's like watching from a plane lots of crewless boats with their engines left on randomly exploring the moonlit night ocean.

“Suspended Passage ” continues Wela’s research on the “Unreal realities” The artist aim is to co-create with the spectator the totality of the virtual reality of drawing, time and space.
The work consist of an open space formed by two cylindrical forex walls, six metres high and four metres in diameter, inside which the artist has drawn in pencil. In the centre of the cylinder there is a rerolling column in highly polished stainless steel which reflects both the artist drawing and the external environment destabilised by the presence of the spectator.
The perpetual movement of a multitude of variations which depends on the position, the movement, and the time of observation.

Wela (Elisabeth Wierzbicka) - Permanent interactive installation "The Whisperers" for the Copernicus Science Centre* in Warsaw

Installation "The Whisperers" consists of 16 stainless steel columns put in the middle of the park of discovery. The columns are equipped with sensors and speakers in order to detect visitors and distribute natural sounds such as the whisper of a stream, rain, wind, volcano, etc. People can do real-time sound spatialization on the type of sound and played on the sound effects.
The visual and sound installation, compared to contemporary organs, symbolizes a virtual-real time in which we live and transports the viewer to the fourth more spiritual dimension.
The installation also shows the paradox of contemporary man desire to approach to nature by artificial means.

*The Copernicus Science Centre (in Polish: Centrum Nauki Kopernik) is a science museum standing on the bank of the Vistula River in Warsaw. It contains over 350 interactive exhibits that enable visitors to single-handedly carry out experiments and discover the laws of science for themselves. Many artworks have been installed in and around the Centre.
The Centre is the largest institution of its type in Poland and one of the most advanced in Europe.

Paul Friedlander: "Art Futura XXI", Bilbao, Spain, 2011- Alhondiga Bilbao

Interactive light sculpture: visitors select images of earlier Friedlander's artworks using a touch screen. The images are digitally processed in real time using custom software to create a pallete of colours in the new light sculpture. Below the light sculpture is the touch screen used for interactive control.

 The sculpture is an example of the use of artist's invention chromastrobic light, light that changes colour faster than the eye can see. The sculpture is in fact lit by only one colour at each instant but appears to be multi-coloured. These photos faithfully show how it looks to the human eye.
