*Liquid spaces – dynamic models of space in art and technology.*
Art residency, Cluj, October, 3 – 20, 2012.
Turnul Croitorilor, str. Baba Novac, nr.35.


„ Liquid spaces – dynamic models of space in art and technology.” Is a
residency program which gets toghether a group of young artists, actively
involved internationally, interested in exploring the notion of space as
defined by the cybernetic design and its applications. The development of
what we commonly call Web 3.0 (Internet of Things), technologic system
which enables responsive forms of communication between objects, as well as
between objects and their users (human machine interaction) triggers
several issues related to the way of defining space. Space can no longer be
perceived as a „container”, but should be seen as a dynamic, adaptable,
modular structure. The art residency program is intended to aid the
creation of several art works which address the perception, building and
handling of virtual space. The art works also target the subjective surfing
of the urban space, space exploration by means of reactiv devices,
including wearables. Also accompanied by a „Open Lab Days”, the art
residency program wishes to open to the public in a less formal way the
issues of the cybernetic design, by enabling the public to contemplate the
artists’ methods of work, and by proposing a direct communication between
the public and the artitsts.

The artists try to highlight the creation process in opposition to the art
object. The creation process perceives the situations and contexts
(including the social contexts) as essential to the art creation. Lately,
the development of the Internet and of media wireless devices, the
miniaturization of developing devices, the use of new intelligent fabrics
have made the impact of cybernetics more and moe visible in everyday life.
The emergeance of concepts such as "the Internet of things" confirms the
current trend of connecting inanimate objects with the virtual space of
communication, based on the human machine interaction. The present project
is based on the exploration of the subjective action, on the impact and the
potential of the cybernetic notions of space (dynamic, activated) for the
creation of art works. The projects starts from the basis that the virtual
space cannot substitute the real space, but, on the contrary, completes it
and contributes to its development.

Last but not least, organizing this art residency within the project
„Liquid space – dynamic models of space in art and technology” responds to
a scarce number of opportunities of art creationrelated to the new media
field on the European level. In Romania, these opprtunities are almost
entirely absent. Our projects offers a framework which not only does enable
the creationand the development of several art projects, but it also
facilitates the exchange between artists while, most importantly, awakening
the interest of the local public.
