Best Interactive Art Installations of 2015

The year 2015 was on the cutting edge of the art and technology and the next year is definitely going to be following this path. A lot of art installations of 2015 we dedicated to the view, the user and the only beholder of the criticism. There is no better critic than a feedback from an audience. Below we posted the best of interactive project shown to public in various locations during the year

Neon Golden’s SWARM

“Over 2,000 delicate LEDs fill the Olympus Photography Playground in artist collective Neon Golden’s SWARM, the lights’ soft, electric emissions buzzing through the 850-cubed-foot space in Vienna. Engineered with a combination of Arduino, Cinema 4D, Raspberry Pi, and Processing, the audiovisual installation reacts to movement, placing its visitors inside a colorful, carefully coded 3D environment.” http://vimeo.com/119266974

The Deepest of Space by Joshua Davis

Leading digital artist Joshua Davis, the veteran of the OFFF festival was back to Barcelona's 15th year of the festival with the epic new work “The Deepest of Space“. http://vimeo.com/124447271

NONOTAK – DayDream

NONOTAK studio is the collaboration between the illustrator Noemi Schipfer and the architect musician Takami Nakamoto. They work on light and sound installations, creating an ethereal, immersive and dreamlike environment meant to envelope the viewer, capitalizing on Takami Nakamoto’s approach of space & sound, and Noemi Schipfer’s experience in kinetic visual. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wJtVwvMxjE

In 20 Steps by Drift

In 20 Steps by Drift, an installation about the movement of flight presented as a part of group installation “Glasstress 2015 Gotika” in Venice Biennale 2015 as part of an exhibition by the State Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg Exhibition http://vimeo.com/128608936

Golem x MBA

The Lyon Museum of Fine Arts asked artist Arnaud Pottier to bring sculptures, including Laurent Honore Marqueste’s Perseus Slaying Medusa, James Pradier’s Odalisque, and Barrias’ Les Premières Funérailles, to life. His method was pretty simple: He used projection mapping, which can turn anything—including statues—into a display. http://vimeo.com/131201461

Antrum Installation by Matrioshka

Antrum Spatio-Graphical Interactive Installation looks like a grotto of the membrane, the surface of which is inhabited by strange creatures. It’s complex structure causes association with living creatures, space objects and architectural constructions. In this frontier word pure mathematical abstractions are mixed with natural shapes, resulting in formation of new entities. Viewers can push the membrane and try to contact with them. Project realised by Russians: Tatiana Plakhova (more) and mathrioshka.ru of Eduard Haiman & Vadim Smakhtin http://vimeo.com/130972302 http://vimeo.com/130454184

TUNDRA x SILASVETA – EPICENTER

One of the best electronic light and projection mapping studios in the world (yes, literally), Russians – TUNDRA and SilaSveta collaborated together to produce an EPICENTER immersive installation to celebrate 7th Anniversary of ARMA17 in Moscow “Each group created an installation that places the viewer in the “epicenter of borderless creativity.” Tundra’s piece, Halo, creates eerie scenes such as a lightning storm and a fire, playing with space and criss-crossing beams of light. A figure weaves in and out of the beams, getting closer and closer but ultimately disappearing into the darkness. The soundtrack consists of choral music overlaid with what sounds like either rain or a scorching forest.” says The Creators Project http://vimeo.com/143827409

Infinity Room by Refik Anadol

“Los Angeles based Turkish artist Refik Anadol wants us to slow down and make technology into something we consciously see and feel..His most recent installation, titled the “Infinity Room” at Zorlu Performing Art Center in Turkey, is a trippy, black and white installation that uses audio and visual stimulation to alter one’s sense of the room. For this, he installed a cinema screen, onto which 3D kinetic animation based on algorithms was projected. It is part of his ongoing project titled, “Temporary Immersive Environment Experiments,” which takes the idea of immersion. Immersion into virtual reality is a perception of being physically present in a non-physical world.” via Hi-Fructose http://vimeo.com/141749628

“Dear World… Yours, Cambridge” by Miguel Chevalier

Cambridge’s King’s College Chapel unites the old and the new, the spiritual and scientific – literally so with the “Dear World… Yours, Cambridge” projection. This project by Miguel Chevalier set up in “immersive projection” in the chapel that showed images relating to the many fields of the University of Cambridge, from literature to astrophysics. http://vimeo.com/143870160

Virtual Depictions: San Francisco by Refik Anadol

“Virtual Depictions:San Francisco” is a public art project by media artist Refik Anadol consist of series of parametric data sculptures that tell the story of the city and people around us within a unique artistic approach for 350 Mission’s media wall in collaboration with Kilroy Realty Corporation / John Kilroy and Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP Architects. http://vimeo.com/147304811

The Wonders Taste was inspired by a René Magritte’s picture named “The Invisible’s Taste”. Artist Francesca Fattori often take inspiration from the surrealist art.

Chris Burkard

USA

burkard0

Chris Burkard is a photographer based in California, whose work is layered by surf, outdoor, lifestyle and travel subjects.

Blake Little

USA

preservation-blak-little

“When people showed up to Blake Little’s studio in response to a Craigslist ad calling for actors, the amateur thespians didn’t realize what they were in for. Fascinated with honey as a symbol and an artistic medium, Little asked his subjects to strip naked and pose in front of a monochromatic backdrop while his assistants doused them in gallons of the sticky, viscous substance. The experiment yielded a striking photo series in which people with a diverse array of body types and aesthetics appear transformed into statues."

 

 

Mihaela Noroc

Romania (x2 TOP2015)

michaela-noroc-atlas-beauty-0

Michael Wolf

Germany

michaelwolf-hongkong-0

With seven million people, Hong Kong is the 4th most densely populated places in the world. However, plain numbers never tell the full story. In his “Architecture of Density” photo series, German photographer Michael Wolf explores the jaw-dropping urban landscapes of Hong Kong. He rids his photographs of any context, removing any sky or horizon line from the frame and flattening the space until it becomes a relentless abstraction of urban expansion, with no escape for the viewer’s eye. Infinite and haunting.

Erik Madigan Heck

United Kingdom

Erik-Madigan-Heck

“At first, these highly stylized fashion images from Erik Madigan Heck look like vector art. However, these shots of Junya Watanabe’s Fall 2015 collection are actually all photography, but edited to be flat and one dimensional to complement the graphic nature of the collection.”

 

 

Mattia Crepaldi

Italy

Mattia-Crepaldi

Milan-based photographer Mattia Crepaldi teamed up with some of the most beautiful models of Italy and Europe, such as Ilaria Pozzi. They all have jaw-dropping tattoos, from neo traditional to geometric, and from tattoo masters such as Marco Galdo. Mattia Crepaldi’s portraits are diptychs, showing two different aspects or complementary sides of his model. The result is raw, dark, but also moving and breath-taking…

 

 

Ben Thomas

Australia

Shot across a number of cities – including London, Paris, Hong Kong, and Shanghai – the images depict a diverse mix of architecture and skylines. To achieve the colour and texture seen in his photos, Thomas usually photographs on sunny days and uses photo editing tools to create the right balance between intensity and depth.”

Giacomo Carmagnola

Italy

Giacomo-Carmagnola-top2015

Designcollector is extremely happy to open

Giacomo

this year and had a great opportunity to work with him on

The Digital Decade III: His Majesty The Glitch

project earlier this year (featuring his work you see above in Barcelona, OFFF2015 Festival) “

I’m completely absorbed by glitch art. I’ve always been attracted to its aesthetics; I’m not talking about philosophy or higher concepts, but just its plain visual pleasure,

” says Giacomo. From the burning monk in “Saigon” to Jesus’s crucifixion in “Meltchrist” – the digital artist combines the old and new to create a symbolic modern image. “

I see these images as an alternative beauty. I find it extremely fascinating how the same image can change so much by keeping its original 'skeleton'. Of course they’re also visually impactful. But before this, I find them simply beautiful.

The year 2015 is definitely the one to remember with a huge development of 3D Printing. Everyone who started to work with this tricky technique is a pioneer of his industry. Same to say about fashion designer Danit Peleg and her printable generative dresses. We will remember her as the first designer to bring serious 3D printing to the catwalk. “

In September 2014 I started working on my graduate collection for my Fashion Design degree at Shenkar. This year, I decided to work with 3D printing, which I barely knew anything about. I wanted to check if it’d be possible to create an entire garment using technology accessible to anyone. So I embarked on my 3D printing journey, without really knowing what the end result would be.
