(still from Anthropocene :: click on the image for a detail)
a new media art installation by
Carmin Karasic & Rolf van Gelder
shown at:
TAC - Temporary Art Center, Eindhoven (NL)
Vonderweg 1,
5611 BK Eindhoven, the Netherlands
as a part of the
Glow 2009 Festival
presented by
MAD - Emergent Art Center
Short description:
Anthropocene is the era in which human activities significantly impact the Earth's climate and ecosystems. This artwork highlights interdependencies between human activities that impact global warming.
The artwork 'Anthropocene' depicts the sun in the background, as the central energy source, with population, deforestation, CO2 emissions, industry, oil and water as conceptual gears.
Each rotating gear-like image causes the one next to it to rotate.
Population growth leads to energy demands that drive industry, which in turn leads to deforestation.
All three lead to increases in green house gases. Everything has a relationship to water.
A live feed 'ticker tape" displays related data, changing as it scrolls above and below the animation.
The music, "In C", is by Terry Riley.
'Antrhopocene' was created for MAD @ GLOW 2009.
The artwork consists of digital collages and statistics controlled by a program written in the Processing language. |

"Virtual Quilt"
An Interactive Art Project by
Clara Wainwright, Carmin Karasic and Rolf van Gelder
As part of the exhibition:
Clara Wainwright: Quiltmaker and Celebration Artist
DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park
| "Throughout its history quilt-making has been viewed as a community-building activity as well as a form of communal creativity. The quilting bee, a gathering of people to construct a quilt, remains a way for people to interact in a group art process. Similarly, the origins of the Internet are community-building in nature. From the beginning, art made for the Internet has had an interactive aspect that allowed for group participation.
For this project, quiltmaker Clara Wainwright and the web artists Carmin Karasic and Rolf van Gelder have brought the communal creativity of the web and the quilting bee together in The Virtual Quilt: An Interactive Art Project. The entire online world is invited to participate in the creation of a virtual quilt that will be made into a real quilt and displayed here at DeCordova.
This quilt-process is the fabric version of the virtual quilt. Through the DeCordova Museum Web site, cyberspace visitors by design a square for the quilt online. On Tuesdays of each week, Clara Wainwright will print out the new square designs, create the squares in fabric, and stitch them to this quilt. You can follow the growth process of the quilt online.
Many thanks to Carmin Karasic and Rolf van Gelder for creating this virtual quilt, which allows us to expand the exhibition beyond the gallery walls."

| d{s}eduction dialogue |
A cyberart installation by:
Carmin Karasic & Rolf van Gelder
This cyberart collaboration explores the relationships and correlations between replication, sex, power, and violence. This work is based on the collaborators' two different perspectives: the personal observations by a black American woman and a white European man. Reality is based on perception, as we perceive it to be. Perspective is based on our cultural filters.
Positioned as two simultaneously looping movies, the artists' visions confront each other's realities. Concepts of conquest and cooperation circle about the human drive for lineage preservation. Power has reproductive implications. Violence is used to gain power. Their comparisons of perceived power and control create a dialogue that concludes: sex is the primary root of war.
d{s}eduction dialogue has been shown at:
-
Artists Foundation @ The Distillery, Boston, USA (2000)
-
Art System Gallery, Toronto, Canada (2000)
-
Boston Cyberarts Festival Preview Party, Massachusetts College of Art, Boston, USA (2000)

| The Saint Lucy Chronicles |
| Webart piece (1996)
Claude Monet was born in Paris on November 14th, 1840. The characteristically brilliant colour of his painterly compositions have garnered him the respect and admiration of both critics and art lovers worldwide. The images of this internationally-renowned artist may be found in numerous galleries; both on the walls of these hallowed institutions, as well as decorating the keychains, coffee mugs, and T-shirts of the warm & friendly giftshops contained therein. In recent years, this artist has moved from the traditional to the digital canvas; an aesthetic shift which elicited much shock in the artistic community. Monet stands by his recent explorations into the realm of digital art. "The elements which featured so prominently in my earlier work -- my study of light and interest in the passage of time -- are explored even further in this exciting new medium" asserts Monet. "Why paint light when you can paint with light?"
Saint Lucy (also called Lucia) is a member of a wealthy and influential Sicilian family. Regrettably, the barriers of privacy that surround this same family have made its members something of a mystery to the world-at-large. Hence, little is actually known about Lucy and her clan. Wild rumours circulate, hinting at a woman with a shady past. How she came to be acquainted with the artist Monet is also a mystery. Allegations have been made of an illicit relationship between the young Lucy and the considerably older Monet. Neither party has denied nor confirmed these allegations.
