Art Sleeps With Tech and Makes Some Bizarre Babies

This weekend marks the solemnization of the Vimeo Festival + Awards , which brings together experts and success in online video . And , some pretty striking visual artists , merging DIY tech ingenuity with brilliant sculpture . And we ’ve got the highlights below .

The exhibit lie in mostly of student from NYU ’s famed ITP program — whose awesomeness we ’ve covered before — and made vivid the mentality they breed over there . Art does n’t have to be on a rampart . you’re able to bear upon it . It can touch you . It can shake , and gurgle , and interact with its milieu .

Take this project , for example . A serial of motorize boxes , each representing a folk extremity — as depict through a strong-arm interface , of sort .

Also endearing for its touchability was this paper yellow-bellied terrapin projection — a play on the very belief of the mite “ screen , ” that put up functionality with an adorable and very ingenious low - tech approach .

But art , as any professor of the field will tell you , can often be about confrontation . It shakes you ! And this work does literally that , warding off viewers with fast-growing grumbling it detects around itself . Not as cute as it looks , but a eruption to sit down around with . Just do n’t attempt to pet it .

Light Within play a bombastic part in the art gallery ’s aggregation — specially the use of sound projection mapping . This initiation used excellently executed projection to stick disturbingly lifelike mini - sept in specimen jars .

elucidation was also primal with this unbelievably complex looking gismo — nine days in the devising — basically a machine that did nothing ( beyond look rather somewhat ) . But its complexity was a feat of its own , pump dye liquid through beautifully weave tubes .

The festival has far more to offer , and will go forward through Saturday — for those of you in the New York City area . [ Vimeo ]
