THE PARTICLE
02.09.2011 10:00-21:00
In the beginning of life on Earth, there was a long interplay of chaos and (brief instances of) order, of stability and disintegration. Fascinated by the origination and break-down of forms and order, Alex Posada (ES) developed The Particle, his massive sculpture positively brimming with energy. Its central elements are rings studded with multicolored LED lights. They rapidly rotate and produce so

02.09.2011 10:00-21:00
Human beings have been developing machines for thousands of years. But what drives us on to do so? Is it the urge to understand and recreate nature and its processes? Is it perhaps our audacious pretensions to be capable of improving on the world as it is? Or are we just curious? What Machines Dream Of is an exhibition that nicely complements the festival theme. It brings together artistic machine
