Laura Adel: Silazak

Scroll for english
Pozivamo vas na otvorenje izložbe Silazak Laure Adel koja će se realizirati u suradnji s umjetnikom Hugom Barangerom u petak 30. listopada u 18:00 sati u Garaži Kamba.
Izložba se odvija u sklopu rezidencijalnog programa, koji se odvija u partnerstvu s Parkom prirode Medvednica, koja je uključila skeniranje špilje Veterince. Posjet špilji bio je ključni dio produkcije novog umjetničkog rada tijekom kojega su učinjena nužna istraživanja geoloških oblika i procesa, zabilježena te kasnije prenesena u digitalne, zvučne i vizualne reprezentacije.
O umjetnici:
Laura Adel je interdisciplinarna poljska umjetnica s doktoratom iz područja imerzivne i interaktivne umjetnosti. Njezini su radovi predstavljeni na međunarodnoj razini, između ostalog na festivalu Ars Electronica, bijenalu novomedijske umjetnosti WRO te u Nacionalnom muzeju suvremene umjetnosti u Wrocławu. Realizirala je projekte u sklopu platforme „Magic Carpets” (program Kreativna Europa), tijekom rezidencije u organizaciji LAB-a 852 u Hrvatskoj, kao i tijekom istraživačke rezidencije posvećene interaktivnosti u laboratoriju Tangible Music Lab u Linzu (Austrija). Trenutačno radi u tvrtki Ars Electronica Solutions u Linzu, gdje sudjeluje u razvoju i realizaciji projekata namijenjenih imerzivnim okruženjima tipa „Deep Space”.
O umjetniku:
Hugo Baranger rođen je 1992. u Niortu (Francuska), odrastao je u srcu Zelene Venecije, u području Marais-Poitevin. Boje, zimska magla i pejzaži tog mjesta čine osnovu Hugove ikonografije. U dobi od pet godina dijagnosticiran mu je teški astigmatizam i hipermetropija, što je kasno otkriveno, pa su njegov vid u najvećoj mjeri oblikovali zamućenost, teškoće percepcije i fokusiranja. Hugo je diplomirao na Likovnoj akademiji u Angoulêmeu 2016. godine, gdje je suosnovao kolektiv Nani$ôka Groupe. Izlagao je i izvodio performanse u Kanadi, Kini, Francuskoj, Hrvatskoj, Bosni i Hercegovini, Portugalu i Japanu.
Iz predgovora kustosice programa Marije Kamber izdvajamo:
„Polazeći od geomorfologije i sedimenata špilje Veternice, Laura Adel u sklopu rezidencijalnog boravka u Garaži Kamba razvija interaktivnu i imerzivnu instalaciju Silazak. U njezinoj praksi geološki oblik, kamen ili stalaktit, nije tek prikazani objekt, već polazište za istraživanje odnosa između materije, digitalne slike i percepcije. Skeniranjem, digitalnim oblikovanjem i interaktivnim sustavima fragmenti prirodnog okoliša prelaze u nove konstelacije, opažajno dostupne u slojevima. Kao što spori geološki procesi izlažu, prekrivaju i preoblikuju materiju, tako se i u njezinim digitalnim prostorima oblici rastavljaju i sastavljaju, povezani sponama fizičkog i virtualnog. Laurin rad je radoznao, analitičan ali istovremeno razmatra i tihu poeziju skromnih artefakata koji nose milenije povijesti sažete u svojim površinama i otvorima.“

ENGLISH
We invite you to the opening of the exhibition Descent by the artist Laura Adel, which was realized in collaboration with artist Hugo Baranger, on Friday, October 30, at 6:00 PM at Garaža Kamba.
The exhibition is part of our residency program conducted in partnership with the Medvednica Nature Park, which included the scanning of the Veterinca Cave. A visit to the cave played a key part in the creation of a new artwork, which included essential research into geological forms and processes, all observed and recorded in order for them to later be transformed into digital, auditory and visual representations.
About Laura Adel:
Laura Adel is an interdisciplinary artist with a PhD in immersive and interactive art. Through her artistic practice and research, she explores the tender dynamics within digital systems. She seeks the delicacy of the digital world, creating abstract videos, installations and objects inspired by natural phenomena. Her practice is grounded in the concept of dialogical disposition, a framework she developed to approach technology, spatial properties, and material behaviours as active partners in the creation. Her works have been shown internationally, including at Ars Electronica Festival, the WRO Biennale of New Media Art, and the National Museum of Contemporary Art in Wrocław. She has developed projects within the Creative Europe platform Magic Carpets, as well as during a residency at LAB 852 in Croatia and a research residency investigating interactivity at the Tangible Music Lab in Linz, Austria. She currently works at Ars Electronica Solutions in Linz, Austria, where she is involved in the development and realisation of projects for immersive Deep Space environments.
About the artist Hugo Baranger:
Born in 1992 in Niort (France), Hugo Baranger grew up in the heart of the Green Venice, in the Marais Poitevin. Its colours, winter mist and landscapes form the basis of his iconography. Hugo was diagnosed late with poor vision associated with severe astigmatism and hyperopia, at the age of 5. His eyes have been shaped mainly by blurriness, imperceptibility and difficulty focusing. Hugo graduated from the Angoulême School of Fine Arts in 2016, where he co-founded the Nani$ôka Groupe collective. Hugo has exhibited and performed in Canada, China, France, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Portugal, and Japan.
From the foreword of the curator Marija Kamber:
Drawing upon the geomorphology and sediments of the Veternica cave, during the residency at Garaža Kamba, Laura Adel has developed an interactive and immersive installation Descent. In her practice, a geological form, a rock, or a stalactite, is not merely an object to be represented, but a starting point for exploring the relationship between digital image and perception. Through scanning, digital modelling, and interactivity, fragments of the natural environment are transformed into new constellations accessible in the multitude of layers. Just as geological processes expose and reshape matter, the forms within her digital spaces are deconstructed and reassembled, extracted from their original environment and brought into new relationships, bound together by the links between the physical and the virtual. Laura’s work is curious and analytical, yet it simultaneously creates a quiet poetry of modest artifacts that carry millennia of history, condensed within their surfaces and openings.
