Two computers at leisure playing chess in a park will perform live at Technarte
Posted by: admin in Presentations, Speakers on March 5th, 2010
This project will be part of Tim Devine´s presentation at Technarte this year. Tim has completed two undergraduate degrees, one in Music and one in Digital Arts. He has also spent one year as Artist in Residence at Experimedia in Melbourne. His works include the one presented here, A Game of Marbles and The Society of The Spectacle among others.
Two computers face each other and play a game of chess together using spoken moves and speech recognition at a table in a public park. The project embraces several themes from Artificial Intelligence and gaming, to a technological spectacle and autonomous verbal communication between otherwise computational devices.
By staging two computers in a park playing chess the artist´s establishes the computers in a role of leisure. The computers are then perceived as not performing a task for the user but more as performing a task for themselves and each other. The computers can sense what is going on around them via their built in iSight and ambient light sensors and will react vocally if people try to intervene.
Tim Devine´s “Two computers at leisure playing chess in a park” will be performing at Palacio Euskalduna during Technarte conference. Don´t miss the oportunity. If you register before the 15th of March you will get a 20% discount.

This video shows Jürgen Scheible, artistically known as MobiLenin, using his MobiSpray art tool to paint buildings, airplanes, ships and other objects around the world. MobiLenin’s digital ephemeral art is about transforming a building or object so it acquires a new power to communicate with artist or viewer and become alive and of value on its own account.
The MobiSpray art is about engaging in space, bringing extra tension or play to challenge peoples assumptions about an object or place. MobiLenin uses buildings and objects to create highly ephemeral art by painting on them with light and his Mobile phone.
Jürgen Scheible will be in Technarte 2010 to participate in Bilbao Interaktive, a seminar dedicated to the design of interactive installations in public spaces, integrated into the Programme of the Conference. Stay tuned because he will also paint a building in Bilbao using his technique.

Rui Filipe Antunes will present “Señora da Graça” at Technarte 2010, a proyect in which he explores the Virtual World as representational artefacts while simultaneously instrumentalizing Ecology and Biology for aesthetic purposes.
In this project, Rui Filipe Antunes, who had the collaboration of Prof. Frederic Fol Leymarie at Goldsmiths, University of London , applied 3D textures in the skins of the virtual creatures and landscapes, to 20 year old pictures of the Portuguese valley of Señora da Graça, which was flooded on the year 2000 by the rising waters of a newly constructed dam. Thus, a virtual ecosystem where strange creatures live and grow, was created. Next, you can see a video about this interesting project.
Come to Technarte and go into virtual ecosystems and artificial life with Rui Filipe Antunes.
