Interactive art: Passing Through

05.06.2009

At James Taylor Gallery, Hackney, London from the 14 to the 24 of May will be on the interactive art exhibition titled "Passing Through." The show will feature 16 young artists engaging with new media, interactive, and responsive art.

The exhibition has been presented by the emerging artists group TINT, which aims to arise the awareness towards the importance of interactivity in contemporary art.

The show wants to explore the relationship between the artworks and the audience, until the limit indeed when the artwork is completed by the public itself.

Works such as Ben Faga's ScentScapes experiment with scent association through sound responsive aroma pods, whilst Lottolab Studios Music to our eyes uses the audience's presence to produce orchestral compositions from colour, contrast and brightness. Other artists create responsive installations from light, sound and kinetics, exploring notions of culture, media and memory. Artists include - Bulbcollective (Owen Bowden, Edward Holland & Suzi Tibbetts), captincaptin, Matthew Curtis, Stuart Dunbar, Jamie Elliott, Ben Faga, Peter Forde, Jon Garlick & Lawrence Abu-Hamdan, Richard Kendrick, Lottolab Studios (Ilias Bergstrom, Beau Lotto & Sam Walker), Parag Mital, Agelos Papadakis & Dave Murray-Rust, Artemis Papageorgiou, Tobias Revell, David Strang, Jamie Thompson.
