My very first HDR, initially I wanted to use CS2 to create this, but my older version could not open CR2 files from my 400D, and Adobe prevented me from getting the latest Camera Raw 3.7 plug-in update from my older 3.0 version as my CS2 is not authentic...lols... So I ended up venturing into Photomatix, downloading the free (and endless) trial version which gave me irritating watermarks reading "Photomatix" over the picture that I cloned stamped away in PS... Yup, so this is the result of 5 different exposures shot in jpeg, combined, then tone mapped, then touched up in CS2...any comments?

I have taken these photos in order to use them for 3D modeling. I like mapping images onto surfaces, and putting decals onto them. These photos are raw JPEGs which haven't undergone any treatment at all - no reduction, no re-sizing, no auto contrast or auto levels or anything. Please feel free to grab anything you like and use it for your projects. Some may require cropping and sharpening, colour calibration, etc., but you surely know all that. Best of luck with your projects.

Unmanned Aircraft Systems, or aerial drones, flew for the first time to assist in BLM Oregon research this summer. The USGS drone team, based in Colorado, was established in 2008 and has been flying a variety of scientific missions ever since: abandoned mine mapping; waterfowl population estimates; and the monitoring of prescribed burns, to name a few.

 

On July 29, 2014, the USGS team gave a demonstration at the Horning Seed Orchard in Colton, Oregon, where they were attempting to increase the speed and accuracy of cone counts from above the trees.

 

Both the fixed-wing Raven and T-Hawk drones flown are used military materials obtained by the Department of the Interior.

Installation Philipp Geist Year of Germany in Brazil 2013/2014

Concept Time Drifts May 2014

 

At the end of the Year of Germany in Brazil 2013/2014, the artist Philipp Geist (Berlin, 1976)

develops two light installations in Rio this year; the first one on the world-famous Christ statue

(Cristo Redentor) and the other installation in the Santa Marta favela. For the installation the

artist presents artistic-liberal and poetic German and Brazilian themes and develops a building

and floor light installation of colored words and phrases in Portuguese, German, and in other

international languages. The installation deals with cultural characteristics and achievements of

both countries and visualizes the issues of time and space, volatility and presence in a free

artistic style. The two projects are in fact a double project which is combined. The installation

on the symbol of Rio and Brazil, the Christ statue, is recorded and projected onto the small

buildings and huts of the favela. The Christ statue, which has been built to protect the city and

the sailors, is symbolically projected on the shantytown, the favela, in a protective way. The

installation in the favela will be seen not only on a facade as a large cinema projection or as a

static image, but on several winding buildings, the roofs, the floor and on the steps. Thus, the

visitor becomes a part of the installation and can immerse into the projection and the light and

introduce himself. Chalk crayons are put out on the streets in the favela and the young and old

residents and visitors can write and paint words on the street, the ground, the stairs or even on

the house walls. The residents and several institutions should be addressed to submit words and

associations dealing with Rio, Brazil and Germany.

For the installation, which was shown at the Luminale in 2012, the artist Philipp Geist won the

German Lighting Design Award 2013 (Deutscher Lichtdesign-Preis 2013) in the category Light Art.

The series 'Time Drifts' is characterized by the complex and subtle way of visualizing various

currents and voices in cultural contexts and to provide institutions and visitors with the

opportunity of substantive participation: different personalities, visitors and institutions may be

addressed in advance and then contribute words and associations. Current and historico-cultural

topics are researched in advance by the artist and then integrated in a sensitive and subtle way.

The projection dismisses the use of screens, because concepts and associations are projected on

a large area onto the floor surface on several facades and in theater fog. Over the course of two

days, the installation can be seen on-site in the favela on May 15 and 16 and on the Cristo

Redentor on May 12 for a day.

Short, tall, young and old visitors can interactively participate in the installation by tracing and

adding words with colored chalk crayons available on the streets. Thus, over the period of the

installation, a carpet of words is evolved with terms that are contributed locally by the visitors

by means of the temporary and volatile 'medium' of chalk crayons. Philipp Geist develops in this

way a dialogue between the place, the visitors and his artistic work.

The concrete, tangible projection of the architecture and the static terms on the floor area

represents the facts and visible relics that are responsible for our understanding of history. The

transparent and volatile projection in the fog reminds us that part of the history can not be

preserved and that it is created in our individual imagination in a single moment. Words are

briefly visible as a metaphor for transience and then disappear again. This interplay of the

various text and image layers in the space refers to the location and the history/-ies of Brazil

and Germany and the cultural exchange between the two countries. The visitors themselves are

part of the installation: they dive into the large floor projection. In this way, different

perspectives and experiences of space are unified. Abstract passages which are created, then

overlapped and displaced by each other symbolize the constant changes in history, the passage

of time and the transience of existence. Even the understanding of the past is in the flux. The

modern writings and formations created on the computer establish a connection to the present

and the possibilities of today's technology and show that the perception of history and culture

depends always on the possibilities and constraints of the present.

'Time Drifts - Words of Berlin' is part of a series of installations, which has been shown in recent

years by Philipp Geist, and which are always re-developed site-specifically and adapted to the

local conditions: In October 2012, Philipp Geist showed the installation on the entire Potsdamer

Platz (public square) and the Kolhoff Tower and Renzo Piano Tower skyscrapers. In April 2012

the installation was shown at the Luminale in Frankfurt where it was seen by more than 40,000

visitors and thus the main project of the Luminale 2012. In 2011, Philipp Geist presented the

'Time Drifts' installation in Vancouver at the Jack Poole Plaza, as well as in Montreal on the

Place des Arts in 2010. The 'Timing' installation was shown at the 2009 Glow Festival in

Eindhoven. In the end of 2009, on the occasion of the birthday of the King of Thailand, 2-3

million visitors saw his facade installation at the royal throne in Bangkok. Other projects

include: 'Timelines' at the prestigious Pallazzio delle Esposizioni (Rome, 2007), 'Time Fades'

at the Cultural Forum of Berlin and 'Broken Time Lines' at the old spa Kurhaus Ahrenshoop

(Germany, 2008).

Geist's projects are primarily characterized by their complexity concerning the integration of

space, sound and motion images. His video mapping installations waive screens and transform a

wide range of architectures in moving, picturesque light sculptures which challenge the viewer's

perception of two- and three-dimensionality.

Arte de luz - Instalações de Mapeamento de Vídeo por Philipp Geist no Rio de Janeiro / Brasil

2014 no Cristo Redentor no dia 12 de maio e na favela Santa Marta nos dias 15 e 16 de maio de

2014

 

Instalação Philipp Geist Ano Alemanha + Brasil 2013/2014

Conceito Time Drifts Maio 2014

 

No final do ano Alemnaha + Brasil 2013/2014, o artista Philipp Geist (1976, Berlim) desenvolverá

duas instalações de luz no Rio; uma delas será exibida na mundialmente famosa estátua do

Cristo Redentor, e a outra na favela Santa Marta. Para a instalação, o artista traz temas teutobrasileiros

de maneira liberal-artística e poética desenvolvendo instalações de luz em edifícios e

no solo a partir de palavras e conceitos coloridos em Português, Alemão e em outros idiomas

internacionais. A instalação lida com as peculiaridades e realizações culturais de ambos os países

e visualiza as questões de tempo e espaço e de volatilidade e presença no estilo liberal-artístico.

Os dois projetos em questão representam um projeto duplo que é combinado. A instalação na

estátua do Cristo Redentor, como um símbolo do Rio e do Brasil, será gravada e projetada nos

pequenos prédios e barracos da favela. A estátua do Cristo Redentor, que foi erguida para

proteger a cidade e os marinheiros, será então projetada como um símbolo de proteção em uma

favela. A instalação na favela é visto não apenas em uma fachada como uma projeção grande de

cinema ou como uma imagem estática, mas em vários prédios sinuosos, em telhados, no solo e

nas escadas. Desta maneira, o visitante conseguirá ser parte da instalação e imergir e mergulhar

na projeção e na luz. Na favela, será distribuído giz para pintura de rua, e os moradores e

visitantes, tanto jovens quanto velhos, podem escrever e pintar conceitos na rua, no solo, nas

escadas ou até mesmo nas paredes das casas. Os moradores e diversas instituições serão

convidados a contribuir com conceitos e associações que representam o Rio, o Brasil e a

Alemanha.

Para as instalações apresentadas na Luminal em 2012, o artista Philipp Geist ganhou o

'Deutscher Lichtdesign-Preis 2013” (Prêmio Alemão de Desenho de Luz de 2013) na categoria

Arte de Luz. A série Time Drifts caracteriza-se pela forma complexa e sutil de visualizar várias

correntes e vozes em contextos culturais e de oferecer a instituições e aos visitantes a

oportunidade de participar: diferentes personalidades, visitantes e instituições podem ser

contatados antecipadamente para contribuir com termos e associações. Temas atuais, históricos

e culturais serão previamente pesquisados pelo artista e, depois, integrados de uma forma

sensível e sutil. A projeção é realizada sem o uso de telas porque conceitos e associações são

projetados, em grande estilo, sobre a superfície do solo, em diversas frentes e envolvidos em

fumaça. Ao longo de dois dias, a instalação estará em exibição em 15 e 16 de maio na favela, e

em 12 de maio, por um dia, no Cristo Redentor.

Visitantes jovens e velhos podem envolver-se na instalação e traçar ou adicionar palavras com

giz colorido, que será distribuído, e assim participar interativamente na instalação. Desta

maneira, durante a duração da instalação, será desenvolvido um tapete de palavras. As palavras

serão fornecidas, no próprio local, pelos visitantes usando o giz, um meio temporário e volátil.

Philipp Geist desenvolve assim um diálogo entre o local, os visitantes e seu trabalho artístico.

A área de projeção concreta e tangível da arquitetura e os termos estáticos sobre a superfície do

solo representam os fatos e as relíquias visíveis que compõem a nossa compreensão da história. A

área de projeção transparente e sumindo por dentro da fumaça lembra que parte da história não

pode ser preservada e que ela é criada na nossa imaginação individual momentaneamente.

Conceitos são brevemente visíveis, como uma metáfora para a transitoriedade e, logo mais,

desaparecem. Esta interação entre as várias camadas de texto e de imagens no espaço refere-se

à localização e a(s) história(s) do Brasil e da Alemanha e o intercâmbio cultural entre os dois

países. Os próprios visitantes tornam-se parte da instalação: eles imergem na grande projeção

do solo. Desta forma, diferentes perspectivas e experiências de espaço são unidas. Passagens

abstratas que são formadas, sobrepostas e suprimidas pela próxima simbolizam as mudanças

contínuas na história, a passagem do tempo e a transitoriedade da existência. A compreensão do

passado também está no fluxo. As fontes e formações modernas criadas no computador

estabelecem uma conexão com o presente e com as possibilidades da tecnologia de hoje: a

percepção da história e da cultura sempre dependende das capacidades e limitações do

presente.

'Time Drifts - Words of Berlin' faz parte de uma série de instalações, que foram apresentadas

durante os últimos anos por Philipp Geist e que são sempre redesenvolvidas para as condições

locais específicas: em outubro de 2012, Philipp Geist exibiu a instalação em toda a praça

Potsdamer Platz (Berlim) e nos dois arranha-céus Kolhoff Tower (Berlim) e Renzo Piano Tower

(Londres). Em abril de 2012, a instalação foi apresentada no evento da Luminal em Frankfurt

onde foi vista por mais de 40.000 visitantes sendo o principal projeto da Luminal de 2012. Em

2011, Philipp Geist mostrou a instalação Time Drifts na praça Jack Poole Plaza em Vancouver

bem como em Montreal, Canadá, no centro de arte Place des Arts, em 2010. A instalação Timing

foi exibida no Glow Festival de 2009 in Eindhoven, Holanda. No final de 2009 e por ocasião do

aniversário do rei tailandês, aprox. 2 a 3 milhões de visitantes viram a instalação de fachada do

artista no trono real em Banguecoque. Seus outros projetos incluem: Time Lines, no prestigiado

museu Palazzio delle Esposizioni (Roma, 2007); Time Fades, no Fórum Cultural de Berlim;

Broken Time Lines, no antigo spa Kurhaus Ahrenshoop (Alemanha, 2008).

Os projetos de Geist são principalmente caracterizados por sua complexidade na integração de

espaço, som e imagens de movimento. Suas instalações de mapeamento de vídeo renunciam

telas e transformam uma ampla gama de arquiteturas em esculturas móveis e pitorescas que

desafiam a percepção do espectador de duas e três dimensões.

Lichtkunst-VideoMappingInstallationen Philipp Geist in Rio de Janeiro / Brasilien 2014

an der Christstatue (Cristo Redender) 12.5 und in der Favela Santa Marta 15./16.5.2014

 

Installation Philipp Geist Deutsch-Brasilianisches Jahr 2013/2014

Konzept Time Drifts Mai 2014

 

Zum Abschluss des Deutsch-Brasilianischen-Jahres 2013/2014 entwickelt der Berliner Künstler

Philipp Geist (1976) zwei Lichtinstallation in Rio d.J.; eine an der weltbekannten Christstatue

(Cristo Redender) und in die andere Installation in der Favela Santa Marta. Bei der Installation

greift der Künstler künstlerisch frei und poetisch deutsch brasilianische Themen auf und

entwickelt eine Gebäude- und Boden-Lichtinstallation aus farbigen Wörtern und Begriffen in

portugiesischer, deutscher, und in weiteren internationalen Sprachen. Die Installation thematisiert

kulturelle Besonderheiten und Errungenschaften beider Länder und visualisiert die Themen Zeit

und Raum, Flüchtigkeit und Präsenz in freien künstlerischen Art. Bei den beiden Projekten handelt

es sich um ein Doppelprojekt welches kombiniert wird. Die Installation auf das Wahrzeichen von

Rio und Brasilien die Christstatue, wird aufgenommen und auf die kleinen Gebäude und Hütten

der Favela projiziert. Die Christstatue die errichtet worden ist um die Stadt und Seeleute zu

schützen, wird so symbolisch schützend über ein Armenviertel die Favela projiziert. Dabei ist die

Installation in der Favela nicht nur auf einer Fassade als große Kinoprojektion oder als statisches

Bild zu sehen, sondern auf mehreren verwinkelten Gebäuden, den Dächern, den Boden und auf

den Stufen. Der Besucher wird vielmehr auf diese Weise selbst Teil der Installation und kann in die

Projektion und das Licht eintauchen und sich einbringen. In der Favela werden Strassenmalkreide

ausgelegt und die Bewohner und Besucher ob jung oder alt können Begriffe auf die Strasse, den

Boden, die Treppenstufen oder sogar auf die Hauswände schreiben und malen. Die Bewohner und

verschiedene Institutionen sollen angesprochen werden Assoziationen und Begriffe die für Rio,

Brasilien und Deutschland stehen einzureichen.

Für die 2012 bei der Luminale gezeigten Installation hat der Künstler Philipp Geist den Deutschen

Lichtdesign-Preis 2013 in der der Kategorie Lichtkunst gewonnen. Die Serie 'Time Drifts' zeichnet

sich aus durch die komplexe und die subtile Möglichkeit, verschiedenste Strömungen und

Stimmen in kulturellen Kontexten sichtbar zu machen und Institutionen und Besuchern die

Möglichkeit zur inhaltlichen Partizipation zu geben: Es können verschiedene Persönlichkeiten,

Besucher und Institute im Vorfeld angesprochen werden, die Begriffe und Assoziationen

beisteuern. Aktuelle und kulturhistorische Themen werden im Vorfeld vom Künstler recherchiert

und auf sensible und subtile Weise integriert. Die Projektion verzichtet auf den Einsatz von

Leinwänden, denn Begriffe und Assoziationen werden grossflächig auf die Bodenfläche, auf

mehrere Fassaden und in Theaternebel projiziert. Über den Zeitraum von 2 Tagen wird die

Installation vor Ort in der Favela am 15/16.Mai und die Installation am Cristo Redentor am 12.Mai

für einen Tag zu sehen sein.!

Kleine, große, junge und alte Besucher können sich einbringen in die Installation und mit farbiger

Straßenmalkreide, die ausgelegt wird, Wörter nachzeichnen und hinzufügen und so interaktiv an

der Installation teilnehmen. Über die Installationsdauer entsteht somit ein Wörterteppich aus

Begriffen, die vor Ort von den Besuchern selbst mittels dem temporären und flüchtigen 'Medium'

der Strassenmalkreide beigesteuert werden. Geist entwickelt auf diese Weise einen Dialog

zwischen dem Ort, den Besuchern und seiner künstlerischen Arbeit. ! !

Die konkrete, greifbare Projektionsfläche der Architektur und die statischen Begriffe auf der

Bodenfläche stehen für die Fakten und sichtbaren Relikte, welche unser Geschichtsverständnis

ausmachen. Die transparente, sich verflüchtigende Projektionsfläche im Nebel erinnert daran,

dass ein Teil der Geschichte nicht konserviert werden kann und im Moment in unserer individuellen

Vorstellung entsteht. Begriffe werden als Metapher für die Vergänglichkeit kurzzeitig sichtbar und

verschwinden sofort wieder. Dieses Zusammenspiel der verschiedenen Text- und Bildschichten im

Raum verweist auf den Ort und die Geschichte(n) Brasiliens und Deutschlands und den kulturellen

Austausch beider Länder. Die Besucher selbst werden Teil der Installation: sie tauchen in die

großflächige Bodenprojektion ein. Auf diese Weise vereinen sich unterschiedliche Perspektiven

und Raumerfahrungen. Abstrakte Passagen, die sich aufbauen, überlagern und gegenseitig

verdrängen, symbolisieren die ständigen Veränderungen in der Geschichte, den Lauf der Zeit und

die Flüchtigkeit des Seins. Auch das Verständnis von der Vergangenheit ist im Fluss. Die

modernen Schriften und Formationen, die am Computer entstanden sind, stellen eine Verbindung

zur Gegenwart und den Möglichkeiten der heutigen Technik her und zeigen, dass die Erfahrbarkeit

von Geschichte und Kultur immer von den Möglichkeiten und Rahmenbedingungen der Gegenwart

abhängig ist.

'Time Drifts - Words of Berlin' ist Teil einer Serie von Installationen, die Philipp Geist in den letzten

Jahren gezeigt hat, und die dabei immer wieder neu an die örtlichen Gegebenheiten ortsspezifisch

weiterentwickelt wird: Im Oktober 2012 zeigte Geist die Installation auf dem gesamten Potsdamer

Platz und den beiden Hochhäusern Kolhoff Tower und Renzo Piano Tower. Im April 2012 wurde die

Installation in Frankfurt auf der Luminale gezeigt, wurde von mehr als 40.000 Besuchern gesehen

und war das Hauptprojekt der Luminale 2012. Im Jahr 2011 zeigte Geist die Installation Time Drifts

in Vancouver am Jack-Poole Plaza, ebenso wie in Montreal am Place des Arts in 2010. Die

Installation 'Timing' war 2009 auf dem Glow Festival in Eindhoven zu sehen. Ende 2009 sahen

anlässlich des Geburtstages des thailändischen Königs ca. 2-3 Millionen Besucher seine

Fassadeninstallation am königlichen Thron in Bangkok. Andere Projekte waren u.a.: 'Time Lines'

am renommierten Museum delle Esposizioni (2007), 'Time Fades' am Berliner Kulturforum,

'Broken Time Lines' am alten Kurhaus Ahrenshoop (2008).

Geists Projekte sind in erster Linie gekennzeichnet durch ihre Komplexität in der Integration von

Raum, Ton und Bewegbild. Seine Video-Mapping-Installationen verzichten auf Leinwände und

verwandeln verschiedenste Architekturen in bewegte, malerische Lichtskulpturen, die die

Wahrnehmung der Betrachter von Zwei- und Dreidimensionalität herausfordern.

transparent and volatile projection in the fog reminds us that part of the history can not be

preserved and that it is created in our individual imagination in a single moment. Words are

briefly visible as a metaphor for transience and then disappear again. This interplay of the

various text and image layers in the space refers to the location and the history/-ies of Brazil

and Germany and the cultural exchange between the two countries. The visitors themselves are

part of the installation: they dive into the large floor projection. In this way, different

perspectives and experiences of space are unified. Abstract passages which are created, then

overlapped and displaced by each other symbolize the constant changes in history, the passage

of time and the transience of existence. Even the understanding of the past is in the flux. The

modern writings and formations created on the computer establish a connection to the present

and the possibilities of today's technology and show that the perception of history and culture

depends always on the possibilities and constraints of the present.

'Time Drifts - Words of Berlin' is part of a series of installations, which has been shown in recent

years by Philipp Geist, and which are always re-developed site-specifically and adapted to the

local conditions: In October 2012, Philipp Geist showed the installation on the entire Potsdamer

Platz (public square) and the Kolhoff Tower and Renzo Piano Tower skyscrapers. In April 2012

the installation was shown at the Luminale in Frankfurt where it was seen by more than 40,000

visitors and thus the main project of the Luminale 2012. In 2011, Philipp Geist presented the

'Time Drifts' installation in Vancouver at the Jack Poole Plaza, as well as in Montreal on the

Place des Arts in 2010. The 'Timing' installation was shown at the 2009 Glow Festival in

Eindhoven. In the end of 2009, on the occasion of the birthday of the King of Thailand, 2-3

million visitors saw his facade installation at the royal throne in Bangkok. Other projects

include: 'Timelines' at the prestigious Pallazzio delle Esposizioni (Rome, 2007), 'Time Fades'

at the Cultural Forum of Berlin and 'Broken Time Lines' at the old spa Kurhaus Ahrenshoop

(Germany, 2008).

Geist's projects are primarily characterized by their complexity concerning the integration of

space, sound and motion images. His video mapping installations waive screens and transform a

wide range of architectures in moving, picturesque light sculptures which challenge the viewer's

perception of two- and three-dimensionality.

Arte de luz - Instalações de Mapeamento de Vídeo por Philipp Geist no Rio de Janeiro / Brasil

2014 no Cristo Redentor no dia 12 de maio e na favela Santa Marta nos dias 15 e 16 de maio de

2014

 

Instalação Philipp Geist Ano Alemanha + Brasil 2013/2014

Conceito Time Drifts Maio 2014

 

No final do ano Alemnaha + Brasil 2013/2014, o artista Philipp Geist (1976, Berlim) desenvolverá

duas instalações de luz no Rio; uma delas será exibida na mundialmente famosa estátua do

Cristo Redentor, e a outra na favela Santa Marta. Para a instalação, o artista traz temas teutobrasileiros

de maneira liberal-artística e poética desenvolvendo instalações de luz em edifícios e

no solo a partir de palavras e conceitos coloridos em Português, Alemão e em outros idiomas

internacionais. A instalação lida com as peculiaridades e realizações culturais de ambos os países

e visualiza as questões de tempo e espaço e de volatilidade e presença no estilo liberal-artístico.

Os dois projetos em questão representam um projeto duplo que é combinado. A instalação na

estátua do Cristo Redentor, como um símbolo do Rio e do Brasil, será gravada e projetada nos

pequenos prédios e barracos da favela. A estátua do Cristo Redentor, que foi erguida para

proteger a cidade e os marinheiros, será então projetada como um símbolo de proteção em uma

favela. A instalação na favela é visto não apenas em uma fachada como uma projeção grande de

cinema ou como uma imagem estática, mas em vários prédios sinuosos, em telhados, no solo e

nas escadas. Desta maneira, o visitante conseguirá ser parte da instalação e imergir e mergulhar

na projeção e na luz. Na favela, será distribuído giz para pintura de rua, e os moradores e

visitantes, tanto jovens quanto velhos, podem escrever e pintar conceitos na rua, no solo, nas

escadas ou até mesmo nas paredes das casas. Os moradores e diversas instituições serão

convidados a contribuir com conceitos e associações que representam o Rio, o Brasil e a

Alemanha.

Para as instalações apresentadas na Luminal em 2012, o artista Philipp Geist ganhou o

'Deutscher Lichtdesign-Preis 2013” (Prêmio Alemão de Desenho de Luz de 2013) na categoria

Arte de Luz. A série Time Drifts caracteriza-se pela forma complexa e sutil de visualizar várias

correntes e vozes em contextos culturais e de oferecer a instituições e aos visitantes a

oportunidade de participar: diferentes personalidades, visitantes e instituições podem ser

contatados antecipadamente para contribuir com termos e associações. Temas atuais, históricos

e culturais serão previamente pesquisados pelo artista e, depois, integrados de uma forma

sensível e sutil. A projeção é realizada sem o uso de telas porque conceitos e associações são

projetados, em grande estilo, sobre a superfície do solo, em diversas frentes e envolvidos em

fumaça. Ao longo de dois dias, a instalação estará em exibição em 15 e 16 de maio na favela, e

em 12 de maio, por um dia, no Cristo Redentor.

Visitantes jovens e velhos podem envolver-se na instalação e traçar ou adicionar palavras com

giz colorido, que será distribuído, e assim participar interativamente na instalação. Desta

maneira, durante a duração da instalação, será desenvolvido um tapete de palavras. As palavras

serão fornecidas, no próprio local, pelos visitantes usando o giz, um meio temporário e volátil.

Philipp Geist desenvolve assim um diálogo entre o local, os visitantes e seu trabalho artístico.

A área de projeção concreta e tangível da arquitetura e os termos estáticos sobre a superfície do

solo representam os fatos e as relíquias visíveis que compõem a nossa compreensão da história. A

área de projeção transparente e sumindo por dentro da fumaça lembra que parte da história não

pode ser preservada e que ela é criada na nossa imaginação individual momentaneamente.

Conceitos são brevemente visíveis, como uma metáfora para a transitoriedade e, logo mais,

desaparecem. Esta interação entre as várias camadas de texto e de imagens no espaço refere-se

à localização e a(s) história(s) do Brasil e da Alemanha e o intercâmbio cultural entre os dois

países. Os próprios visitantes tornam-se parte da instalação: eles imergem na grande projeção

do solo. Desta forma, diferentes perspectivas e experiências de espaço são unidas. Passagens

abstratas que são formadas, sobrepostas e suprimidas pela próxima simbolizam as mudanças

contínuas na história, a passagem do tempo e a transitoriedade da existência. A compreensão do

passado também está no fluxo. As fontes e formações modernas criadas no computador

estabelecem uma conexão com o presente e com as possibilidades da tecnologia de hoje: a

percepção da história e da cultura sempre dependende das capacidades e limitações do

presente.

'Time Drifts - Words of Berlin' faz parte de uma série de instalações, que foram apresentadas

durante os últimos anos por Philipp Geist e que são sempre redesenvolvidas para as condições

locais específicas: em outubro de 2012, Philipp Geist exibiu a instalação em toda a praça

Potsdamer Platz (Berlim) e nos dois arranha-céus Kolhoff Tower (Berlim) e Renzo Piano Tower

(Londres). Em abril de 2012, a instalação foi apresentada no evento da Luminal em Frankfurt

onde foi vista por mais de 40.000 visitantes sendo o principal projeto da Luminal de 2012. Em

2011, Philipp Geist mostrou a instalação Time Drifts na praça Jack Poole Plaza em Vancouver

bem como em Montreal, Canadá, no centro de arte Place des Arts, em 2010. A instalação Timing

foi exibida no Glow Festival de 2009 in Eindhoven, Holanda. No final de 2009 e por ocasião do

aniversário do rei tailandês, aprox. 2 a 3 milhões de visitantes viram a instalação de fachada do

artista no trono real em Banguecoque. Seus outros projetos incluem: Time Lines, no prestigiado

museu Palazzio delle Esposizioni (Roma, 2007); Time Fades, no Fórum Cultural de Berlim;

Broken Time Lines, no antigo spa Kurhaus Ahrenshoop (Alemanha, 2008).

Os projetos de Geist são principalmente caracterizados por sua complexidade na integração de

espaço, som e imagens de movimento. Suas instalações de mapeamento de vídeo renunciam

telas e transformam uma ampla gama de arquiteturas em esculturas móveis e pitorescas que

desafiam a percepção do espectador de duas e três dimensões.

Lichtkunst-VideoMappingInstallationen Philipp Geist in Rio de Janeiro / Brasilien 2014

an der Christstatue (Cristo Redender) 12.5 und in der Favela Santa Marta 15./16.5.2014

 

Installation Philipp Geist Deutsch-Brasilianisches Jahr 2013/2014

Konzept Time Drifts Mai 2014

 

Zum Abschluss des Deutsch-Brasilianischen-Jahres 2013/2014 entwickelt der Berliner Künstler

Philipp Geist (1976) zwei Lichtinstallation in Rio d.J.; eine an der weltbekannten Christstatue

(Cristo Redender) und in die andere Installation in der Favela Santa Marta. Bei der Installation

greift der Künstler künstlerisch frei und poetisch deutsch brasilianische Themen auf und

entwickelt eine Gebäude- und Boden-Lichtinstallation aus farbigen Wörtern und Begriffen in

portugiesischer, deutscher, und in weiteren internationalen Sprachen. Die Installation thematisiert

kulturelle Besonderheiten und Errungenschaften beider Länder und visualisiert die Themen Zeit

und Raum, Flüchtigkeit und Präsenz in freien künstlerischen Art. Bei den beiden Projekten handelt

es sich um ein Doppelprojekt welches kombiniert wird. Die Installation auf das Wahrzeichen von

Rio und Brasilien die Christstatue, wird aufgenommen und auf die kleinen Gebäude und Hütten

der Favela projiziert. Die Christstatue die errichtet worden ist um die Stadt und Seeleute zu

schützen, wird so symbolisch schützend über ein Armenviertel die Favela projiziert. Dabei ist die

Installation in der Favela nicht nur auf einer Fassade als große Kinoprojektion oder als statisches

Bild zu sehen, sondern auf mehreren verwinkelten Gebäuden, den Dächern, den Boden und auf

den Stufen. Der Besucher wird vielmehr auf diese Weise selbst Teil der Installation und kann in die

Projektion und das Licht eintauchen und sich einbringen. In der Favela werden Strassenmalkreide

ausgelegt und die Bewohner und Besucher ob jung oder alt können Begriffe auf die Strasse, den

Boden, die Treppenstufen oder sogar auf die Hauswände schreiben und malen. Die Bewohner und

verschiedene Institutionen sollen angesprochen werden Assoziationen und Begriffe die für Rio,

Brasilien und Deutschland stehen einzureichen.

Für die 2012 bei der Luminale gezeigten Installation hat der Künstler Philipp Geist den Deutschen

Lichtdesign-Preis 2013 in der der Kategorie Lichtkunst gewonnen. Die Serie 'Time Drifts' zeichnet

sich aus durch die komplexe und die subtile Möglichkeit, verschiedenste Strömungen und

Stimmen in kulturellen Kontexten sichtbar zu machen und Institutionen und Besuchern die

Möglichkeit zur inhaltlichen Partizipation zu geben: Es können verschiedene Persönlichkeiten,

Besucher und Institute im Vorfeld angesprochen werden, die Begriffe und Assoziationen

beisteuern. Aktuelle und kulturhistorische Themen werden im Vorfeld vom Künstler recherchiert

und auf sensible und subtile Weise integriert. Die Projektion verzichtet auf den Einsatz von

Leinwänden, denn Begriffe und Assoziationen werden grossflächig auf die Bodenfläche, auf

mehrere Fassaden und in Theaternebel projiziert. Über den Zeitraum von 2 Tagen wird die

Installation vor Ort in der Favela am 15/16.Mai und die Installation am Cristo Redentor am 12.Mai

für einen Tag zu sehen sein.!

Kleine, große, junge und alte Besucher können sich einbringen in die Installation und mit farbiger

Straßenmalkreide, die ausgelegt wird, Wörter nachzeichnen und hinzufügen und so interaktiv an

der Installation teilnehmen. Über die Installationsdauer entsteht somit ein Wörterteppich aus

Begriffen, die vor Ort von den Besuchern selbst mittels dem temporären und flüchtigen 'Medium'

der Strassenmalkreide beigesteuert werden. Geist entwickelt auf diese Weise einen Dialog

zwischen dem Ort, den Besuchern und seiner künstlerischen Arbeit. ! !

Die konkrete, greifbare Projektionsfläche der Architektur und die statischen Begriffe auf der

Bodenfläche stehen für die Fakten und sichtbaren Relikte, welche unser Geschichtsverständnis

ausmachen. Die transparente, sich verflüchtigende Projektionsfläche im Nebel erinnert daran,

dass ein Teil der Geschichte nicht konserviert werden kann und im Moment in unserer individuellen

Vorstellung entsteht. Begriffe werden als Metapher für die Vergänglichkeit kurzzeitig sichtbar und

verschwinden sofort wieder. Dieses Zusammenspiel der verschiedenen Text- und Bildschichten im

Raum verweist auf den Ort und die Geschichte(n) Brasiliens und Deutschlands und den kulturellen

Austausch beider Länder. Die Besucher selbst werden Teil der Installation: sie tauchen in die

großflächige Bodenprojektion ein. Auf diese Weise vereinen sich unterschiedliche Perspektiven

und Raumerfahrungen. Abstrakte Passagen, die sich aufbauen, überlagern und gegenseitig

verdrängen, symbolisieren die ständigen Veränderungen in der Geschichte, den Lauf der Zeit und

die Flüchtigkeit des Seins. Auch das Verständnis von der Vergangenheit ist im Fluss. Die

modernen Schriften und Formationen, die am Computer entstanden sind, stellen eine Verbindung

zur Gegenwart und den Möglichkeiten der heutigen Technik her und zeigen, dass die Erfahrbarkeit

von Geschichte und Kultur immer von den Möglichkeiten und Rahmenbedingungen der Gegenwart

abhängig ist.

'Time Drifts - Words of Berlin' ist Teil einer Serie von Installationen, die Philipp Geist in den letzten

Jahren gezeigt hat, und die dabei immer wieder neu an die örtlichen Gegebenheiten ortsspezifisch

weiterentwickelt wird: Im Oktober 2012 zeigte Geist die Installation auf dem gesamten Potsdamer

Platz und den beiden Hochhäusern Kolhoff Tower und Renzo Piano Tower. Im April 2012 wurde die

Installation in Frankfurt auf der Luminale gezeigt, wurde von mehr als 40.000 Besuchern gesehen

und war das Hauptprojekt der Luminale 2012. Im Jahr 2011 zeigte Geist die Installation Time Drifts

in Vancouver am Jack-Poole Plaza, ebenso wie in Montreal am Place des Arts in 2010. Die

Installation 'Timing' war 2009 auf dem Glow Festival in Eindhoven zu sehen. Ende 2009 sahen

anlässlich des Geburtstages des thailändischen Königs ca. 2-3 Millionen Besucher seine

Fassadeninstallation am königlichen Thron in Bangkok. Andere Projekte waren u.a.: 'Time Lines'

am renommierten Museum delle Esposizioni (2007), 'Time Fades' am Berliner Kulturforum,

'Broken Time Lines' am alten Kurhaus Ahrenshoop (2008).

Geists Projekte sind in erster Linie gekennzeichnet durch ihre Komplexität in der Integration von

Raum, Ton und Bewegbild. Seine Video-Mapping-Installationen verzichten auf Leinwände und

verwandeln verschiedenste Architekturen in bewegte, malerische Lichtskulpturen, die die

Wahrnehmung der Betrachter von Zwei- und Dreidimensionalität herausfordern.

Ce mois-ci est paru dans le quotidien espagnol El País un article de fond sur les réseaux sociaux comme Facebook. Basé sur des exemples très intéressants, il pointe les usages néfastes qui peuvent être fait d'un réseau social : outil de contrôle permanent, harcèlement, motifs de licenciement, risque de désocialisation....

Step into the past as you explore more than 8,000 acres of beautiful landscapes that include an old farmstead, and habitats ranging from forest and shrub-steppe to grass and wetlands. The historic Folsom Farm interpretive site demonstrates how the landscape was converted into small farms, ranches and communities beginning in the late 1800s. Displays tell the history of farm life. Enjoy the chance to study numerous species of birds and other wildlife, picnic, backpack, horseback ride, mountain bike, or hunt throughout the entire Fishtrap area. Fishing for stocked rainbow trout is popular at Fishtrap Lake and during the winter at Hog Canyon Lake.

 

Know Before You Go:

-Entire area is open YEAR ROUND.

-There are no facilities or services available, with the exception of one vault toilet at Folsom Farm.

-No Fees.

-Both lakes have concrete boat launches maintained by Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife -- paid in advance parking permit from WDFW is required.

 

Directions:

Fishtrap is just a 30-mile drive southwest of Spokane, Washington. From Interstate 90, take Exit 254, and then travel east for 1.75 miles to access the public lands.

 

Point of Interest:

Part of the Channeled Scablands of eastern Washington, this area is named for the trenches and outcrops of ragged, scarred rock interspersed with wet meadows and wheat fields. The Great Missoula Ice Age Floods that scoured the region more than 12,000 years ago carved out this unique landscape.

Livermore researchers calculated the most favorable binding arrangements and locations for several key proteins during acetaminophen metabolism to help determine which reactions produce which by-products. Free-energy mapping (right) and binding calculations (insets) show that the protein CYP2E1 prefers site 1, a configuration and binding location leading to N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine (NAPQI), a by-product of acetaminophen that can cause liver damage. Site 2, another possibility, would produce a nontoxic by-product; however, it has a higher free-energy value, so a reaction is much less likely.

Preparations for the trip up to Preston. As it turned out, the weather prediction was accurate and the bunkers were where they ought to be. We didn't have time to visit the hospital and the standby set house (marked substation on the map) has been demolished and replaced by a Plymouth Brethren Church.

Ok, so the second module has started on the first year of my photographic art degree. It's called 'the reality construct' and is made up of two parts. The first is what I'm working on now. The second part is a school trip to a mansion somewhere for a few days.

 

Above is a portion of my desk at the moment. I've been studying hard, reading papers and researching ideas for what I want to do. All the stuff stuck on the board is relevent, apart from the pink di.

 

Mapping the unmappable is a paper I've just read in my research about visual representations of the internet as social constructions. It was actually a really interesting read if you're bored enough :)

 

This is a question I have asked in another group. It's received some great comments and ideas there and I hope I can get some more here from my contacts:

 

How can I take a photograph of the internet?

 

I'm working on a photography project that requires me to take a series of photos (min 10) of a space. One that I know well or could get to know well. The majority of my peers are choosing to focus their attentions on outdoor spaces such as car parks, fields, shopping malls or even trying out a bit of urbex.

 

I wanted to try something a bit more conceptual. I spend so much time, here, on the internet. I run with multiple personalities (none hidden or creepy) and use a multitude of sites. The space I want to photograph is THE INTERNET.

 

I've put in a bit of research and discovered computer generated artworks showing nodes in a sphere or plasma like structure in either 3d or 2d. I'm sure you've seen this sort of stuff before without even realising. This is a Google image search on What does the internet look like?

 

My project is to be shot with a medium format camera using black and white film. I'll be developing myself. I am open to all suggestions on how to approach this, I've certainly been racking my brains trying to think of a good starting point. Taking a photo of the screen is of course my immediate thought. Perhaps you guys could help me come up with something more conceptual or still, a better photo of the reality.

 

I will also need to present how I will be displaying the works too.

 

All suggestions, no matter how silly or far fetched are welcome.
