Beginning October 23, 2010, MASS MoCA will present a new site-specific sculpture by Prague-based artist Federico Díaz. Created from 420,000 black spheres precisely milled and assembled by robotic machines, the 50-feet long by 20-feet high sculpture, Geometric Death Frequency-141, will fill MASS MoCA's entrance courtyard with a fragmented wave seemingly caught between movement and stasis.
Architecture critic and curator Jeff Kipnis calls Diaz's work "re-origination," comparing it to the making of a book into a film. In one sense the film represents the book, yet does so in an entirely new medium, and through this becomes something completely different. In the case of Geometric Death Frequency-141, the "book" is a digital photograph of the museum's clocktower entry courtyard as taken by the artist, which the artist then transforms into pure data, and modulates using analytical and fluid dynamic modeling techniques, finally rendering the data stream into a three-dimensional sculpture using state-of-the-art computer-aided manufacturing methodologies. The new work thus combines elements of photographic manipulation, data analysis, and computer programming, utilizing new techniques to produce a sculpture completely untouched by human hands.
Visually, Geometric Death Frequency-141 combines Diaz's interest in the built environment, deep natural forces such as cellular growth, physics and fluid dynamics to create a massive wave confined within an invisible 50 by 20-foot tank that penetrates the wall of MASS MoCA's lobby from the exterior of the museum's main entrance courtyard. As the wave hits imaginary boundaries, it splashes back and up as high as the second storey galleries of the museum.
An interior installation of one of the robotic machines used to manufacture the work will accompany Díaz's presentation at MASS MoCA. The robot will assemble additional spheres to be later added to the massive sculpture, providing viewers with the opportunity to experience the process by which Geometric Death Frequency-141 is created. The Díaz-developed process is unique-in addition to utilizing modern computer-aided manufacturing techniques, pure data and algorithms based on particle physics are the guiding forces behind the sculpture's shape, texture and size.
MASS MoCA's courtyard, where the natural elements of Natalie Jeremijenko's Tree Logic and a mature blaze maple specimen tree are presented within the industrial confines of MASS MoCA's architecture, provides an ideal ground for Díaz's site-specific creation in which a lifeless, manmade vehicle transforms data into a tangible, material creation (the sculpture).
Artist Federico Díaz comments, "Creating a unique object, which transformed the museum into a new form of algorithmic architecture was a fascinating journey full of unforgettable emotions."
Director of MASS MoCA Joseph C. Thompson comments, "Federico is, in a way, the ultimate shape-shifter, but his works are always deeply rooted in physical reality. In this instance Federico has 'deconstructed' a photographic image of our entrance courtyard. Taking the digital bits and bytes which define the location, depth, and color of the pixels from the photographic image, Federico rearranges them thru the artful application of the laws of fluid dynamics. The three-dimensional black spheres that make up this work are in some ways distant relatives of the pixels of that original, two-dimensional photograph, but instead of being transcribed into a flat image as micro dots of ink on paper, here they well up into great waves that crash against the very walls of their original subject matter. There is something alchemical or magical about it: The bricks and mullions and windows of our buildings become files of digital data, the pixels become black spheres meticulously cut, stacked and assembled, the courtyard becomes and contains sculpture - and all the while Federico remains behind the curtain, as if to say 'look ma, no hands.' If data manipulation sounds dry, this work helps show that data too can fluctuate between stasis and movement, permanence and change, fullness and utter emptiness."
Radio-frequency cavity area of the storage ring of the Advanced Light Source at the E.O. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. As it emits synchrotron light, the electron beam loses energy, which must be replaced if the beam is to continue circulating in the storage ring. The lost energy is put back into the beam by radio-frequency (RF) cavities, such as the copper chamber in the right center of this photograph. In this way, the beam can circulate for many hours before it gradually decays due to collisions between electrons and electrons and residual gas molecules in the vacuum chamber.

Tome of Magic floats in the air.
See how pleased I am at my concentration?
Levitating things can be so fun, but exhausting!
Actually, I just kept throwing the book and tried not to look like I was trying too hard.
I used to play D&D all the time.
But now, I have no one to play with.
I collect the books anyway.
I am in casual wear.. so just focus on the book.
I only wore the green shirt because it was a solid green and..
Thursdays are for Gorgeous Green Thursday.
It is not gorgeous. But it is green and a Thursday. 2 out of 3...
I thought 'Tome of Magic' would be ideal for this levitating pun.
Out of my week of photos with books.. this is my favorite.
Working at the crossroads between architecture, sculpture and performance, the Mexico-born, Canada-based artist Rafael Lozano-Hemmer is well known for developing large-scale installations in public spaces. His work encourages both social interaction and audience participation through the deployment of new technologies.
The artist’s immersive sculptural environments are at the forefront of artistic experimentation with new media, and regularly focus on political issues of surveillance and information ownership.
For his first solo UK exhibition in a public gallery, Lozano-Hemmer transforms The Curve into an immense interactive environment. Frequency and Volume is composed of 48 radios, which can potentially all be tuned to different channels simultaneously. The 90-metre long arc of the gallery wall becomes a visual and sonic representation of London’s radio spectrum, constantly changing according to the physical position of its visitors.
To watch a video of Frequency and Volume at Laboratorio Arte Alameda, Mexico 2003, click here .
On entering the space, participants’ shadows are cast on the wall. Monitored by a video tracking system, each shadow tunes in to a radio frequency, changing channels as it moves around the gallery. The outline of a projected shadow affects the tuning, while its size controls the volume, thus the human body becomes an antenna able to tune into different frequencies. The resulting sound environment is a continuously evolving composition created by multiple contributors.
FREQUENCY
by Eric Parks, Casey Bankord
Discovering Your Unique Connection to God
When it comes to spiritual growth, one size does not fit all. Just as God created us with different personalities, talents and gifts, He created each of us with a unique way that we grow spiritually. This book will help you discover your own "frequency"––your individual, God-given roadmap to experiencing your life to the fullest and growing in your relationship with God, the way He intended it.
How do you tune into your unique, God-given frequency? What if you could figure out a way to live intentionally on your frequency instead of having accidental moments with God? This book will help readers unpack the power that can happen when they discover their individual frequency and live on it. Your life shines, you sense God’s presence in your life, people notice––and it inspires them to do the same. This book was created by the developers of Monvee.com, an online tool that helps people discover how they are uniquely wired to grow spiritually. Used by the nation’s largest churches and Christian universities. Foreword by John Ortberg.
