Body/Aura extension Avi Rosen, New Media Artist EE Faculty, Technion IIT Haifa, Israel. avi@siglab.technion.ac.il
Body/Aura extension • Utilizing the Bluetooth wireless technology standard, for artistic purposes. • Supports, audio visual data transmission. • Enables artists, art consumers or any user to connect to a wide range of computing andtelecommunications devices easily and simply, without the need to buy, carry, or connect cables. • Connections between cellular phones, printer, lap top and palm computer, PC etc. • Enables wide spread of art and artistic data.
Body/Aura extension • Artist’s presence causes automatic synchronization of his desktop, mobile computer, notebook (PC-PDA and PC-HPC) and his mobile phone with other users. As soon as he enters a new space the artistic content (text, audiovisual art data) in his PDA will automatically be updated to art consumers desktop, or vice versa.
Body/Aura extension • A voice, image or text prompts the local user of approaching art event. Art percolates through the wireless ambience to every potential user, for a potential art consumption or interaction. • The system extends artist’s aura and amplifies his artistic capabilities. His presence induces content to the immediate space, and then to the wider space via the Internet or cellular systems. • Artist’s passages throw time and space leave trails of transmissions. Those trails can be considered as a continuous interactive multidisciplinary artistic act. • The system is bi-directional, it enables feedback between the consumers and the artist. The act of art manipulation/consumption, creates a community with mutual interests and goals, and enables creativity capabilities for a wide range of users.
This mode of art creation fits with Joseph Beuys words: • "I demand an artistic involvement in all realms of life … Whereas I advocate an aesthetic involvement from science, from economics, from politics, from religion - every sphere of human activity. Even the act of peeling potato can be a work of art if it is a conscious act".
