According to Greek mythology, the Chimera was a monstrous fire-breathing female creature composed of the parts of three animals: a lion, a serpent and a goat. 

In popular culture the term has been used to describe any fictional being composed by different parts as well as to describe illusory ideas and actions.  

Taking inspiration from the creature’s composed physicality and fictional being, the show reflects on new forms of abstraction and intangibility derived from the assemblage of different styles and materials often associated with the internet and its context of visual and narrative fragmentation.The presented works mix personal visions and popular culture with digital aesthetics, aiming to reproduce heterogeneous feelings and an interpretative contingency. Diversity in forms and the use of apparently distant tools and references are the point of departure to create a fictional sense of transcendence and fluidity. The selected works and theoretical contributions included in the exhibition aim to operate as activators, inviting the viewer to participate in the construction of meaning whilst also initiating alter relationships between media’s attributions and works' narratives.  

This exhibition celebrates cacophony and material-crossing whilst floating between physicality and significance, to consider alternative forms of artistic expression looking at a context-based sensoriality as opposed to direct representation.

7 pm - 11 pm BST (2 - 6pm EDT / 11am – 3pm PDT)

bubblebyte.org is pleased to present The Making of, a solo exhibition of works by London based artist Yuri Pattison.

Pattison’s practice reflects on the impact of digital media on our understanding of reality, highlighting inconsistencies in the system of representation. Mastering a huge variety of media, his work often uses different devices to explore the strengths and limits of digital communication.

For the show, The Making of, the first solo show of the artist on bubblebyte.org, Pattison reflects on how the internet influences ideas of space, time and memory, flattening their defining attributes whilst also distorting their essence.

polymer placeholder pin drop is a live still life, showing a composition of assembled objects on a fictional landscape. The shifting image will be in constant transformation, offering a slightly different version of the assemblage on every view, unique but also universal. Each element in the image, being virtual or physical, is filtered through personal memories to become something archetypal activating ideas connected with places and their vision through the web.

The work The Making of is a live Google Drive Doc in constant flux that will evolve during the course of the show. The classical format of the .doc, becomes a way to explore ideas of collective ownership of rights, freedom of visual expression and private/public format, whilst highlighting issues of economic and political control of images and ideas. At the end of the show, the google drive doc will be converted to PDF and made available for print on demand.

cmoscosmos is a layered video and image piece playing with ideas of digital representation, collaging urban realities and architecture with personal and found images until the point of abstraction. As a fluid beautiful scenario, the work has the ability of eluding space and time, suggesting visual clues to reveal leaks in the way places are portrayed on the internet.

The private view attendees will receive a unique, depending on location, downloadable artefact exclusively created by the artist.

Liverpool Biennial - IL CAVALIERE

Il CAVALIERE

15/09/2012 - 25/11/2012

PV: 14/09/2012 (7pm - 11pm BST)

bubblebyte.org is pleased to present IL CAVALIERE, a takeover of the Royal Standard wesbite as part of the project Service Provider running during the Liverpool Biennial 2012.

For IL CAVALIERE,  bubblebyte.org invited four artists, Paul Flannery, Hannah Perry, Jon Rafman and Travess Smalley, to work together on four individual elements of the website, to collaborate and respond to the theme of Knight Rider, the famous TV series featuring a high-tech modern-day knight fighting crime with the help of an advanced, artificially intelligent car.

The role of the modern knight and its actions devoted to save others as well as its intelligent car, friend and problem-solver, are a point of departure for reflection and experimentation in the context of the Service Provider project. The artists, selected for the relevance and excellence of their practice, will engage with the structural part of the Royal Standard website and transform its variables whilst adding different features, proposing new ways to visualise data, content and information.

The Man Who Knew Too Little - Rhys Coren/ Jack Newling at SEVENTEEN GALLERY

SEVENTEEN GALLERY

THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO LITTLE - RHYS COREN / JACK NEWLING

Curated by Attilia Fattori Franchini
28th June to 4th August 2012

The Man Who Knew Too Little is an exhibition of works by Rhys Coren and Jack Newling.
Both artists employ a range of means and materials to create works with a heavily processed style where interference is reduced to a minimum in order to regulate and reclassify the world around us.
The playful, symbolic world of Rhys Coren revolves around subcultures and their visual language. British culture, the Internet and music are continuous references in his production, which varies from video, animation, 2D images and installation, constantly merging both analogue and digital processes. Coren explores the hypothesis of an interrelation between British football social culture and rave music. Using popular designs from British football strips, training kits and clothing worn by fans in the late 80s and early 90s - the brightest era of acid music and rave culture - Coren has developed a series of graphics animations, and a sound piece (in collaboration with Benjamin John Power) that celebrates the "smiley face", a stylized icon of the same period.


Jack Newling carefully extracts from a contemporary landscape of industrially manufactured utilitarian provisions. In this show Newling uses high control techniques such as screen-printing and casting to make a new body of work that finds its origins in the peripheries of popular culture. 24hr groceries and empty cafes provide material for these works that never seek to fully represent the source, preferring instead to exist as stand-ins or surrogates. Newling’s works absorb the hard-nosed practicality of the world around us, and combine with the ghosts of industrial processes in order to produce moments of pathos and seduction.
The works in the exhibition are formal suggestions, little clues given and left to the viewer to interpret. The show is an attempt to absorb common features of the world that surrounds us, in order to propose something altogether more remote and slippery. By focusing on certain elements of the everyday, whilst losing others, the works initiate unexpected connections opening the viewer to new and undefined outcomes, activating strong sensations and new assemblages of collective and personal memories.

PV: Thursday 17th May 2012, 6pm - 10pm

The show takes its inspiration from the concept of short unwanted manifestations in physical and digital realm typical of our contemporary culture. Appearance and disappearance, animated objects and images become ephemeral presences calling for attention whilst modifying our ways of seeing and perceiving. Used in communication techniques as powerful marketing tool to influence the subconscious and over present in the digital world - as pop-up and banners - subliminal inputs and undesired elements become contemporary art tools of experimentation to reveal mysterious ideas and new representations of reality. Short time of experience and the condemnation to expire are used as inspiration to consider alternative modes of expression and think about current modes of creation and conservation. Looking at materiality and time as in Katherine Hayles definition of it as a dance between the medium’s physical characteristics and the work’s signifying strategies; each artwork and its interpretation becomes contingent, provisional, and debatable and therefore considered more of a contextual event than a pre-existing object.
Taking the space of FORT as a point of departure, the artists invited engage with it whilst contributing through unexpected events, hidden visions and imperceptible structures to reflect about materiality, revelation, duration and evanescence.

Mario Athanasiou (b.1980 Athens, Greece) lives and works in London. Originally trained as a composer, Athanasiou recently completed an MA in Studio Composition at Goldsmiths College. His works tend to explore how we perceive reality through sound and how we can use technology to manipulate, distort and transform that reality.

Rob Chavasse (b.1984, UK) lives and works in London. He holds a BA in Fine Art from University of West of England. Through site-conditioned works, Chavasse creates experiential situation, investigating the contradictions
of reference vs. experience. Using a wide range of media, Chavasse’s practice is concerned by the notion of space, and how we perceive it.

Yuri Pattison (b.1987 Dublin, Ireland) lives and works in London.  He is member of LuckyPDF and Off Modern Collectives and his interests lie within architecture and materiality, while focusing on space and the process of creating. Mastering a variety of media as video, animation and photography his work stresses digital communications language and tools. Yuri’s installations are a moving escape where time and its constant flux is represented and the access to a virtual past invades the knowledge of an expendable present.

Hannah Perry {b. 1984, Chester, UK} lives and works in London. Working across a variety of medium, including moving image, photography, collage and sculpture, Perry’s practice is mainly developed by mixing found VHS footage, YouTube videos and photos from the artist’s own, personal archive. Perry recent exhibitions include the Invites series at the Zabludowicz Collection, London, Hotel Palenque, Cell Project Space, London, 2012, Les Televisions, French Riviera 1988, London, 2011.

Samara Scott (b.1985, UK) lives and works in London. She recently completed an MA in Communications Art and Design at The Royal College of Art, London. Her practice uses romantic urges to make glossy hyper-real objects, a pick n mix of continental topicality, and a surreal mish-mash of pastel symbols. All part of a greatly orchestrated surreal narrative, the art objects can also be digested from design perspectives. Backgrounds double as foregrounds – a blind operates as both a screen and a sculpture, while different elements suddenly animate with new functionalities

Tim Steer (b.1983, UK) lives and works in London. He is currently completing an MA in Sculpture at The Royal College of Art. His practice revolves around the concept of materiality and its definition in digital culture. Through, video, writing, animated and sculptural creation Steer’s work activates sensations and memories while representing fluid images belonging to the digital realm.

Oliver Sunderland (b. 1985, UK) lives and works in London. He is currently studying an MA in Sculpture at The Royal College of Art. Working across a range of media his practice takes influence from a variety of sources including science, belief systems and fiction, culminating in critical and subversive observations of serious and often humorless situations. Sutherland’s practice examines the more esoteric language of digital media and digital processes, reverting it to create highly visual hybridised artworks.

events, screenings and conversations

A project in two parts, The Function of the Oblique presents a series of artistic responses to the eponymous work of architectural theory by Paul Virilio and Claude Parent, in which they declare ‘the end of the vertical as the axis of elevation’ and ‘the end of the horizontal as the permanent plane’.

In both Resistance and Action the artists use concepts of the oblique as a destabilising force, creating imbalance and unexpected outputs by employing a variety of media to challenge traditional conceptions of space.

In both Resistance and Action the artists use concepts of the oblique as a destabilising force, creating imbalance and unexpected outputs by employing a variety of media to challenge traditional conceptions of space. 

The concept of the oblique was presented as a new mode of appropriating space, promoting continuous, fluid movement and forcing the body to adapt to instability. Approached from different attitudes, Resistance and Action, this two part exhibition takes place across two gallery's in South East London.

Resistance is set at No Format Gallery, Woolwich, and will be informed by an understanding of the oblique as resistance to gravity and its horizontal legacy.

Action will take place at Son Gallery in Peckham and analyses physical and architectural conditions favoring fluidity, alteration and constant change.

Through a series of experimental events created by intersecting fields of architecture, broadcast, film, installation and publication, No Fixed Abode will develop forms of shared critique and reflection. Initially a series of film screenings and performative talks are planned. No Fixed Abode is the artistic collaboration between Robert Quirk and Terry Slater.

Artists information

Sebastian Acker
b. 1981, Germany
lives and works in London
Sebastian Acker has a background in space design and installations often reflecting on the configuration of space individually and socially. Acker is currently studying an MA in Sculpture at the Slade School of Fine Art. His work is informed by notions of space and materiality, and how this relates to the urban and physical world.

Nicolas Feldmeyer
b. 1980, Switzerland
lives and works in London
Nicolas was born 1980 in Switzerland. After studying architecture in Zurich and fine art in San Francisco, he is currently doing a master at the Slade School of Fine Art. His work explores notions
of space and its articulation in different media, questioning assumptions of normality and the elsewhere in his research and practice.

Shan Hur
b. 1981 Korea
lives and works in London
Shan Hur is a Korean artist who lives and works in London. Hur holds an MFA in Sculpture from
Slade School of Art (2010) and has exhibited extensively in the UK. Hur's sculptural interventions disrupt the viewers perception of the white cube, directly implicating the gallery space as an active element in the artwork itself. The ideas, which inform Hur’s practice, derive from a fascination in the moment of transition when a particular space is reconfigured for a new purpose and questions our perceptions.

Minae Kim
b.1981, Korea
lives and works in London
The origins of Kim’s works are based on the urban or structural environments present in our everyday life. Kim observes, reflects and reverts the physical and conceptual function of what sometimes is left out, hidden or un-noticed. The elements used in Kim works are often detourned replicas of preexistent details which call for attention and suddenly animate to become the centre of reflection. Kim installations raise questions about the nature of the spaces we inhabit and our relationship therein. Minae Kim holds an MA in Sculpture from the Royal College of Art, 2011 and her works has been recently part of New Contemporaries ICA, 2011 and RCA Final Degree Show, 2011.

Jinhee Park
b.1979, Korea
lives and works in London
Jinhee Park holds an M.F.A from Goldsmiths College, London, 2010 and an M.F.A in Sculpture from Seoul National University, Korea, 2007. His work reflects on the time lost in familiar scenery
and records the traces left (hidden) in nature of certain occurrences or events. Time and its changes
are reflected in Park's practice as a spacial visualisation characterised  by interventions on common materials such as plain wood, using as a natural point of departure to record and visualise what remains.

Tobias Zehntner
b.1983, Switzerland
lives and works in London
Tobias Zehntner holds a BA from Goldsmiths College of Art, 2011. His work is concerned with science, art and architecture intended as tools to explore phenomena while elaborating a keen interest in human and mechanical movements in time and space. Zehntner has a fascination with the
acts of looking and observing, which leads to minimalist studies of the poetry of the everyday.
A contemplative view on mundane and urban environment often reveals an appeal to modernist aesthetics and compositions, while the focus on movement often leads to a choreographical approach to synchrony and symmetry.

PASCUAL SISTO

FILL_IN_THE_BLANKS

SEVENTEEN Gallery

Thursday 29th Mar - Saturday 5th May 2012

Curated by Attilia Fattori Franchini
PV Thursday 29th March 6pm

Pascual Sisto's practice often refers to chaotic systems, order, time and evanescence; his work reproduces the transient order of things by manifesting its multiple variables.
In FILL_IN_THE_BLANKS, his first show at Seventeen, the LA based artist presents his recent exploration of forms of representation through the use of mathematical structures, patterns, and digital interventions, while repurposing the imagery and modus operandi from the realm of theoretical physics.
The new body of work introduces a tension between constraint and infinity, matter and ephemerality, reality and fiction, featuring a melancholic sense of humor. New 3D animations and sculptures are presented in unison, functioning as hypnotic elements and forces of attraction in the creation of non-spaces.
By containing and restricting forms through additive and reductive gestures, Sisto's practice reconfigures the idea of endless possibilities. The video elements in the exhibition constitute a passage between Sisto's previous and current production and represent ethereal realities conversely focusing on the versatility of time, stressing it while defining it through either interruption, synchronicity, or pulsation and perpetually transfixed into a liminal space.

This exhibition is made possible by the generous support of the Center for Cultural Innovation ARC Grant.

Pascual Sisto was born in 1975 in Barcelona, Spain, and lives and works in Los Angeles.

Instructors 

10/03/2012 - 09/04/2012


Private view
09/03/2012
7 pm - 11 pm GMT (2 - 6pm EST / 11am – 3pm PST)

bubblebyte.org is pleased to present Instructors, a solo exhibition by French artist Sylvain Sailly.

Over the past five years, Sylvain Sailly has worked with multimedia installations that combine prints, video work, and sculptural objects. His work explores the dematerialisation of systems and procedures diffused in contemporary society, highlighting invisible processes in production which transform into the practical and meaningful. Sailly’s practice researches the notion of hidden differences between objects and their abstraction, and the way these differences elude direct investigation.

Instructors, the artist’s first solo show at bubblebyte.org, follows the research on imperceptible variations and takes the form of an on-line series of semi-autonomous 3D animations created exclusively for bubblebyte.org. The series adds to the artist’s personal web diagrams collection and functions as an extension of his site-specific and gallery work.

Codes and aesthetics of Internet video tutorials inspire the six digital happenings presented in the show as Google Sketch up files (.skp) paired with animated gifs created as an instructional tools. The work which requires the participation of the viewer in order to activate, is constituted by 3D model objects. As these schematized objects are made and unmade, their simple and even barren graphics emphasize the mechanics, deployment and assembly of their fifteen-second life-cycle. The objects’ function, its capacity to impart a use, comes to the fore, as well as the means and occasion to manipulate this function. Building and unbuilding, processing and unprocessing, the work investigates the relationship between recognition and simulative enactment.

The private view attendees will receive a downloadable artifact exclusively created by the artist.

Sylvain Sailly
born 1983, Poitiers, France
lives and works in Vancouver

Sylvain Sailly holds a BA Plastic Art at the École Européenne Supérieure de l’Image, and an MFA in Plastic Expression at the École Nationale Supérieure d'Arts de Paris-Cergy, Cergy, France .

Sailly’s minimal and alive work focuses on the internet and its elements of production and disruption raising questions of duration and conservation. His work has been shown locally and internationally, and recently included in exhibitions as The Unspeakable Compromise of the Portable Work, Or Gallery off-site project, Vancouver, Canada, Sylvain Sailly and Nicolas Sassoon at The Fair, Vancouver, Canada both in 2011, Et si tu n'existais pas..., Galerie TinBox, Bordeaux, France, 2010, Jakarta Biennale‘09 Fluid Zones, Jakarta, Indonesia, 2009, and Portion roulante à 43° W Today Art Museum, Beijing, China, just to name a few.

Artists Informtaion

Video

Tobias Zehntner http://tobiaszehntner.com,

BA Fine Art Goldsmiths College 2011.

Zehntner work spaces between video and installation using the relationship between art and science as a point of departure for the exploration of human and mechanical movement in time and space.

His work is distinguished by a minimal aesthetic and modernist aesthetics and compositions and which helps him to capture daily movements with a choreographic attitude.

Andrea Zucchini, BA Fine Art Goldsmiths

Andrea Zucchini's practice is about transformation and alchemy.

The elements he uses in the composition of his works explore the paradoxical relationship between creation and time, investigating the metaphysical and spiritual reality of our existence.

Withdrawing from science and psychology, Andrea tries to create the modern symbols that arise in depths of everyone’s inner process and path, expressing them through a variety of media and materials.
