After-party curated by LuckyPDF : Bussey Building 

On the 27th of January 2012 bubblebyte.org will celebrate its first birthday!

To mark it’s first anniversary, bubblebyte.org has teamed up with The Sunday Painter in Peckham to host a group exhibition of works by diverse international practitioners who have had solo shows at bubblebyte.org in the past year.

The various spaces of The Sunday Painter will be explored and inhabited by multi-form practices, installations, digital synesthesia and, on the night of the opening reception, LuckyPDF will also curate an exciting visual after-show at the neighboring Bussey Building.

PRIMO ANNIVERSARIO includes installation work by Rob Chavasse, prints by Oliver Sutherland and Laurel Schwulst, digital atmospheres by Oregon Painting Society, Nicolas Sassoon and Duncan Malashock and video installations by Pascual Sisto, Sara Ludy and Sabrina Ratté.

As part of the show, The Sunday Painters website will play host to a special web-based creation by Nicolas Sassoon.

On the same date, bubblebyte.org will also launch Extrabyte a new section on its platform specifically dedicated to encouraging reflection and creating regular content in and around the shows, including essays, interviews, music podcasts and video by artists, curators and practitioners in an attempt to enlarge the critical discourse about the artistic work they present.

Sabrina Ratte' | Activated Memory at bubblebyte.org

Sabrina Ratté
Activated Memory
31/12/11 - 29/01/12
30/12/2011 (7-11pm GMT)

bubblebyte.org is pleased to present Activated Memory, a solo exhibition by Canadian artist Sabrina Ratté.

Activated Memory is a two video project based on animated photographs of different parks and buildings of Montreal. Through the use of video feedback, 3D animation and color manipulations, the pictures render a new kind of space, a virtual world where only fragments of "reality" subsist. The music accompaniment  is composed by Roger Tellier-Craig.

In Activated Memory I, a video created for The Download section of rhizome.org, parks appear through a very minimalist form composed by trees and grass. It is a journey through the parks disposal and their interaction with light, almost creating a surreal experience while studying symmetric relationships between various elements like dunes, bridges, lost routes and nature. The park and its imaginary recall childhood visits and the way of looking at things, almost like a hologram of an idealised memory.

Activated Memory II, created exclusively for bubblebyte.org, uses buildings as the main subject of observation. As a counterpoint to parks, buildings are characterised by angular forms and opaque surfaces. Architecture is used as a point of departure to create instability. Buildings discompose their limits into the frame while the geometric original shapes and dimensions of the image loose control to create an entrance to a chaotic space where forms become liquid.

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

Utilizza la Tua Illusione I | group show at bubblebyte.org

Utilizza La Tua Illusione I

bubblebyte.org is pleased to present Utilizza La Tua Illusione I, a group exhibition by diverse International practitioners incorporating abstract imagery and optical illusion to deform reality and represent animated colorful distorted dimensions. 

The show is inspired by the epic 1993 Guns N’ Roses album, Use Your Illusion I, one of two albums released in conjunction with the Use Your Illusion Tour, the last time that the band ever played together on stage, signalling a turning point in the band and their music.
Use Your Illusion I and its context are a point of departure to celebrate the work of different artists that take inspiration from the 90’s psychedelia and rave culture using abstraction and flashy colors to set parallel realities as an alternative to our current political and economical events. 

The work of Paul Flannery, Sylvain Sailly and Anthony Antonellis, present characters of immaterial geometry and illusion towards the compression and reversion of time and space into a fluid discourse to evade and experiment. Travéss Smalley and Tom Hobson play with our senses re-creating new dimensions in movement while withdrawing inspiration from 3D holograms first designs and multi- layered ways of seeing. Theodore Darst and Samara Scott works, inspired by glitch culture and washed out aesthetics, propose animated mental escapes while the surrealistic work of Adam Cruces is appropriating old narratives to reproduce them through new exits.

Utilizza La Tua Illusione I is constructed as an a-temporal journey with no beginning and no end into a world of bright pastel colors, psychedelia, motion, geometry, surrealism and alter-reality highlighting new forms in contemporary visual expression.
Let the work lead your imaginary and enjoy your evasion.

bubblebyte.org is pleased to present TIDES, a solo exhibition by visual artist and member of online art collective Computers Club, Nicolas Sassoon.

The work of Nicolas Sassoon revolves around the relations between computers, architectures, landscapes and domestic environments. Nicolas’ practice uses the Internet and its online essence for visual experimentation which often takes the form of optical animated gifs.
TIDES, the project conceived for his first solo show at bubblebyte.org, originates from a recent permanence of the artist in Biarritz, a charming city on the French Atlantic coast. The city and its surroundings, the sea and its movements constitute the point of departure for TIDES.
The project features 6 animations inspired from fading memories of the ocean surface and evolve itself through a repetitive aesthetic almost recalling the water pattern and its endless flow.
Every animation in the show is named after a state of the tide, when thin layers of water slowly expand and retreat over large areas of sand creating always new and unexpected forms.

Nicolas Sassoon
Born 1981 in Marseille, France.
Lives and works between Biarritz, France and Vancouver BC, Canada.

Nicolas Sassoon holds a Master’s Degree of Fine Arts/New Media from Ecole Européenne Supérieure de l’Image, Angoulême, France. His work has been exhibited in Europe and Internationally. Recent exhibitions include Is this thing on? Contemporary Arts Center, Cincinnati, USA, Shine-a-light, Portland Art Museum, Portland, USA, Les Innomables Grotesques LMD Gallery, Paris, France, Notes on a New Nature, 319 Scholes, New York, USA, Wallpapers, 319 Scholes, New York, USA, 2011.

bubblebyte.org is pleased to present Angelo’s Game, a solo exhibition by Oregon Painting Society.

Oregon Painting Society is an art collective established in 2007 in Portland, Oregon. The group practice is various and multidisciplinary, focusing on the production of interactive audiovisual environments, recordings, and performances. OPS is compelled by The Mystery to forge possible doorways into impossible worlds. OPS uses transcendent creative collaboration as a method to create performances and different worlds as well as goal for every project.

OPS has spent 2011 crafting a series of installations and performances under the title Angelo's Game. Angelo’s Game is a world populated by beatniks and purple clowns summoning lake spirits at twilight. The fourth instalment proposed for bubblebyte.org will bring the Game into the netted-dimension, warping and spreading Angelo's residue into hyper-shape translations.

Set up as a labyrinth composed of sounds and images, one page leads to the other in a sort of extravagant auto-regenerating circle with no beginning and no end with infinite possibilities. Angelo’s Game has been exhibited widely and internationally transforming itself through time and space, becoming different acts and ideas while constantly generating new visual proposals and experiences.

With a theatrical approach and a visual aesthetic that masters the digital performative language with brilliant ability, OPS lead us to the discovery a new dimension of Angelo's game.

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.

Cristian Zuzunaga | Gravity | EB&Flow Gallery

Cristian Zuzunaga
Gravity
2.09 / 30.09 2011
EB&Flow Gallery,
77 Leonard Street, London EC2A

Cristian Zuzunaga’s first solo exhibition in London at EB&Flow is my last curatorial project. Zuzunaga’s practice is broad in scope and heembraces the role of an artist, photographer, printmaker and designer. Renowned as atextile and graphic designer, Zuzunaga is recognised for his brightly multi-coloured and distinctive pixelated textile prints.Alongside his success in the design world, Zuzunaga has been a practising artist throughouthis career.
His work includes photography, letterpress, video art and sculpture, comfortablybridging the line between art and design. The exhibition at EB&Flow will guide the viewer through the artist’s investigation of the city as a metaphor.  He examines architecture and the way global cities such as Barcelona, London, New York and Shanghai are constructed, inspiring and giving form to his versatile visual vocabulary.
Inspired by philosophy, architecture, anthropology and the psychology of C.G. Jung, Zuzunaga’s work explores notions of the self and identity, how these are defined and how they relate to the world. Combining analogue and digital technologies, Zuzunaga investigates the microscopic patterns created by the symbiotic relationships between humans and their environment. Under his design label Zuzunaga, focusing on interior design using printed textiles, the artist has collaborated with well-established companies such as Tate, Kvadrat, Wallpaper, Moroso, Belmacz, Ligne Roset and Nanimarquina.

bubblebyte.org is pleased to present Catchments, a solo exhibition by visual artist Duncan Malashock.

Duncan Malashock uses the Internet as a point of departure for his analysis about reality.
Through visual experimentation his work talks about how we relate with the web intended as a world of exchange where concept and ideas take form and flow. His concepts, mostly expressed through the conceptual titles of his works, develop in different ways from writing to music production to web-based images of any genre.

For the show Catchments, Duncan decided to reflect about the creational process and the various stages intended as unpredicted visual outputs. The intention is to highlight and represent what is left normally hidden, the work in progress behind the scenes and consider it as a mutated work itself.

bubblebyte.org is pleased to present Il Labirinto di Cristallo, a group exhibition by diverse International practitioners working around the themes of Oceano, Futuro, Industriale and Azteca.
The show, inspired by the early 1990s British TV program “The Crystal Maze”, is conceived as a journey set around different areas, visions and artistic approaches, stressing and stretching visual possibilities in a playful and kaleidoscope mode that flirts with space and time displacement.
Oceano will show works related to water, how we represent it and what it symbolises for us. The animated works of Nicolas Sasson and Constant Dullaart are presented together with the frolicsome and surreal videos of Alexandra Gorczynski, Hayley Silverman and Sabina Ratté, and the web-based installation by Lewis Teague Wright. The visions proposed by the artists are both literal and distorted, engaging with the concept of water in a wide sense. Through the use of animation and moving image as tools of connection between nature and the digital lens, the element of water is presented as a dynamic entity.
Futuro is conceived as a time journey in a surreal era. The sensual images of Maya Stocks and Kathryn Ferguson and the hypnotic time-traveling of Claire L. Evans contribute to fill our imaginative world with geometric possibilities and sci-fi visions. The sarcastic eye of John Michael Boiling and Javier Morales and the space 3D images of Sam Sanford complete the journey and give us different points of connection with it.
Industriale leads us to industrial scenarios made from modular repetition and production rhythms. Emilio Gomariz’s animated geometric figure and John Lawrence’s colourful compositions recall automated patterns and urban constructions while the work of Alistair Owen and Tim Steer present an escape, a sort of visual contradiction against iteration and mass-production.
Azteca represents our connection with lost nature and our primordial feelings. The distorted landscape of Damon Zucconi together with the mutable pictures of Jaime Martinez have the potential of psychedelic “paradise lost” feelings in forgotten places far away from civilisation. The geometric games of Ben Aqua and Anatoliy Demidov remind us of folk aesthetics opposed to Parker Ito’s primitive paintings and female beauty in the digital era.
The diversity of vision and artistic approach allows discovery and experimentation, constantly crossing the line between imagination and reality, virtual and factual, abstract and actual, leading visitors throughout a multilayered and unexpected random wandering.

Collaboration with DUDE magazine | Italy

Dude si merita un pò di arte. Tutti si meritano un pò di arte.
Fa bene, meglio delle mele, simile al rock and roll riesce a stimolare il nostro cervello facendo ballare  e divertire i nostri neuroni, creando collegamenti, dubbi ed a volte illuminazioni.
Le nostre, mie, scelte, saranno globali, tenteranno di interessare e intrattanere chi capita tra le nostre pagine. Spazieranno da New York a Dubai, da Tokio a Londra, Milano o Parigi, proveranno ad essere
volatili e intelligenti così come è l’arte oggi, globale, ibrida e sfuggevole.
Ogni numero avrà review ed interviste, porrà domande e interrogherà personaggi vari ed eventuali del mondo dell’arte. In ogni edizione un nuovo artista verrà sfidato a lavorare con 4 pagine stampate come unico mezzo di espressione. Nessuno crede che risponderemo mai alle domande, nè che ci avvicineremo neanche lontanemente alla cosidetta verità ma almeno proveremo a dare un punto di vista diverso composto da una moltitudine di formati ed elementi.
Come un viaggio composto da varie destinazioni il focus non sarà nella meta ma nel tragitto percorso.
Per il nostro primo numero abbiamo deciso di chiederci che cos’è L’ARTE nel 2010?
Buona Lettura.
