Arte e complessità per gli occhi...
Carlo Mazzucchelli
Riuscire a rendere visibile e comunicabile la complessità in modo che possa essere comprensibile ed utilizzabile è da sempre uno dei problemi che assillano scienziati e studiosi. Riuscire a visualizzare la complessità attraverso sociogrammi, mappe grafiche, ecc. gioca infatti un ruolo molto importante nella comunicazione delle caratteristiche dell’ entità presa in considerazione anche per l’influenza che la rappresentazione grafica utilizzata può avere sulla percezione dell’individuo che la osserva. Qui forniamo alcuni esempi di visualizzazione applicati a progetti artistici. Un divertimento per la mente e per gli occhi.
Life Support Systems - Vanda
Project Description:
Life Support Systems - Vanda is an attempt to analyze electrical signals from the vanda hybrida orchid, and apply language modeling techniques to these signals in a computer. The result is a virtual model, which continues to generate similar signals long after the original orchids are gone - a kind of computerized longevity. Vandas language and behaviour model is stored in a hacked Microsoft Xbox, its future container. It can be accessed at any time, should one want to experience the essence of Vanda again. The work is installed as a kind of laboratorium with life support facilities for the orchids, a computer visualization of the language model, the Xbox, and the generated signals presented as sound. Besides turning a scientific experiment into an aesthetic construct, the work tangents questions of consciousness, longevity, and new lifeforms through computing.

Project Description:
denCity.net creates virtual networks of real places. qr-codes (2d barcodes) are used to tag buildings and urban sites which can be read by a mobile camera phone. The user simply shoots them and logs in to denCity.net. The service provides information to the specific place, and from there, one can browse through the web of tags.
Anyone can tag places and thus create a new denCity-site. All relevant information and data links concerning the particular user-request are released cartographically and depend on the desired degree of locality.
This information exchange layer, through the tags's crosslinkings and referencing among each other, features a multidimensionality which oscillates between the local and the virtual.The tags are digital yet visible marks in the city. At the same time virtual and physical addresses. They establish interfaces between locality and virtuality.

Project Description:
"SELKIRK is a special purpose application of our ongoing fundamental research in the creation of little minds (grassroots artificial intelligence or rather telligence similar to the distinction between humour and black humour of Jacques Vach←, the Selkirk behind the Surrealist movement).
In SELKIRK the wiring of its little mind is the streetgram of Amsterdam. Severed from the city, stripped of its physical components, each neuron in the mind of SELKIRK is equivalent to a street, or a part of a street, in Amsterdam."

Project Description: The artist Simon Patterson, a finalist for the Turner Prize, the UK's leading award for modern art, has worked extensively with the process of reinterpreting existing information systems. Shown here is a work by the artist which utilizes maps and navigation/information systems.
J.P. 233 in C.S.O. Blue is a large wall drawing which takes as its reference a global airline route map, using large sweeping arcs to represent the journeys between countries, which are implied by their relative positions rather than a delineation of boundaries. The destination names are replaced with seemingly unrelated famous people, from Julius Caesar, Elizabeth I, Pope John Paul II and Mussolini to actors William Shatner, Helen Mirren, Leonard Nimoy and Peter Falk.
