Art meets astronomy: Interfacing New Heavens
With installations, projections, sound and text elements, Swiss artist and designer Vanessa Lorenzo @hybridoaa and South African artist and researcher Tebogo George Mahashe @georgemahashe each direct their own gaze at astronomical data from the Karoo semi-desert @saao_astro and the Astronomical Observatory of the @unigeneve.
The exhibition at the University of Pretoria's Javett Art Centre @javettup features artworks resulting from the 2018 @artistsinlabs South African-Swiss Residency Exchange

Predicted figure (I) is the 3D-printed output of a virtual physics simulation. The simulation began with an idealized W-beam roadside guardrail, and following a high-speed collision (with an undisclosed heavy object), the final shape emerged as the computed wreckage left after the crash.
.
I am interested in the (un)predictability of a city, and how the values, priorities, and accepted risks of humans at the scale of a city can appear markedly alien to that of the individual. I am also excited to see how a single, still object can speak of an 'event' in time, especially when that event is statistically predicted (rather than remembered/recorded).

This new object is my contribution to Premise - a temporary group exhibition in Cape Town's CBD, curated by @nathalieviruly and @creativemumbling, hosted by @joeprussian
It opens on Friday 5 March (5-9pm), and will be up for a week. Go see it!

Been thinking a lot about virtual space recently - and how it might come to exist within a dimensionless stream of symbols. Unsurprising as that might be.
