Digital Art Weeks zu Computerkunst
In Zürich haben gestern die bis zum Wochenende dauernden Digital Art Weeks 2007 begonnen. Dabei geht es um die Wechselwirkungen zwischen Computertechnologie und Kunst. Computer werden in der Regel mit Technik in Verbindung gebracht, seltener jedoch mit Kunst, schreibt die ETH zu den Digital Art Weeks 2007. Hinter den Digital Art Weeks (DAW) stehe aber die Erfahrung, dass auch Künstler mit den Computerwissenschaften neue Werkzeuge erhalten haben. Ein Symposium im Rahmen der DAW richtet sich an Forschende aus dem In- und Ausland sowie an Studierende, die am Einsatz von Informatik im Kulturbereich interessiert sind. Performances und Installationen im Cabaret Voltaire und im Walcheturm in der Alten Kaserne zeigen Beispiele von Computerkunst. Beispiele sind die «Hautkommunikation» mittels Sensortechnik oder ein Computer, der vor sich her philosophiert. Die DAW fordern Künstler auf, sich mit der technischen Seite der Computer auseinanderzusetzen, aber auch die Computerwissenschaftler, von der Kreativität der Künstler zu profitieren.
Das Festival wendet sich auch ans breite Publikum, dem ein spielerischer Mix aus Kunst und Computertechnologie präsentiert wird. Ein besonderer Gast der DAW 2007 ist der deutsch-amerikanische Informatiker und Medienkritiker Joseph Weizenbaum. Die DAW, die 2004 erstmals stattfanden, werden dieses Jahr erstmals von einem Steuerungskomitee aus Vertretern des Bundesamts für Kultur, der Stadt Zürich, dem Cabaret Voltaire der Hochschule für Gestaltung und Kunst Zürich und der Uni Zürich unterstützt.

begin of natural art installation with first symbols out naure all over the world since 1998
all artists and children from 7 till 77+ th, are invited to celebrate nature trough their own spomtaneus creativity. This artaction is inspired by Aion primal geometry -ten symbols found in nature - wich joins all cultures throughout history and time. We will bild symbols from primal geometry using natural elements and materials; stones, earth, water and fire. The symbols include the following; point, circle, parallelogram, cross, spiral, line, triangle, square, lightening bolt, and three points or stars for cosmos. For example, we might build a cross with wood, a spiral with stones, a circle with fire, or a line with water. We work only with local material found in nature and with the natural energy of the place. The concept behind the artwork is to save and celebrate nature trough our creative acts.

world exhibiton for freedom www.unesco.ch 2003 organisation by barbara streiff
The idea and theme of respect and acceptance in communicative art came out my work as an artist. Organisation international exchange comes out my AION artwork. The first signs found in acient cultures throughout the world. Primal geometry connect cultures over all the time.

Die am 13. September 1999 von der Generalversammlung der Vereinten Nationen verabschiedete Erklärung über eine Kultur des Friedens unterstreicht in Art. 8, dass bei der Förderung einer Kultur des Friedens schöpferischen Menschen und Kunstschaffenden eine Schlüsselrolle zukommt. Die an diesem Projekt beteiligten KünstlerInnen beweisen durch ihr Engagement für Frieden und Versöhnung, dass sie diese Rolle wahrnehmen.

Für diese "World Exhibition for Freedom" präsentiert jede Künstlerin und jeder Künstler seine Arbeit in seiner gewohnten Umgebung: Anne A. Vogt in Italien, Sergio Tilleria in Chile und in der Schweiz, Mantilios Mantis in Zypern, Erwin Schatzmann in Zürich, Abraham Lubelsky in New York, So Un Lee in Korea, Makudy Sall in New York, Tina Zimmermann in San Francisco und Berlin, Barbara Streiff und Bruno Kaelin in der Schweiz und im Ausland, Kurt und Regula Suter-Droz wo ihr Schiff gerade geankert ist. Meistens sind auch einige der anderen KünstlerInnen an den jeweiligen Ausstellungen beteiligt. Das Bindeglied zwischen ihnen ist Barbara Steiff, eine "Swiss Artist on the Road".

Dieses Projekt trägt zur Verständigung, Toleranz und Solidarität zwischen den Völkern bei. Gleichzeitig fördert es die grenzüberschreitende Zusammenarbeit von Kunstschaffenden, wofür sich die UNESCO immer wieder einsetzt.

Dancing Emptiness (physis in techne)
Description of Installation Elements:

"Gaia in a Box" Video and Slide Installation of the five elements (fire, water, earth, air, wood) on five perpendicular walls of a room

A large-scale abstract, systematic representation of the composition of matter and the gaia-ecosystem and humanÕs perspective of it. usually these elements are contained within and around the spherical planet body of earth, here they are translated into a square box/room perspective, which enhances the experience of difference between organic (round, flowing) being and artificial (linear,static, confined) construction.

"Water-Dance" Room-size, large-scale video projection with macro-footage of the ever-changing structure and texture of water (as cloud, creek, river, pond, waterfall, ocean)
One-hour video loop projected on a large wall space or hanging screen-structure.
(Water-metaphor: rhythm of life, ever-lasting change, effortless flow of universal energy, endlessly different manifestations of the same substance/being.)

"Firewall" Large-scale video projections of Fire/Flame structures- perpendicular or opposite to Waterdance-projections
One-hour video loop
(Fire-metaphor: Decomposition and regeneration of the same primal substance as different physical properties. Nurturing and destructing aspects of being)

"Himmel-Hoch" (Sky-Paintings) Multi-panel installation of modulated digital photographs of sunsets of the pacific (clouds, sea, colored light). Images of vertical, or angled sunset-skies, taken out of their usual horizontal perspective, become natural abstract-expressive "paintings": Layers of beautiful color-gradients and intricate textures that the eye and mind disassociates with the romantic idea of a sunset and rather indulges in the perfection of color and shading.

(Sunset-metaphors: ending, transience, completion of a cycle and the melancholic awareness of time fleeting, the experience of the inability to capture ever-changing beauty)

Wolkenrohrschach
(Cloud-association)
(click here for more artwork samples)

Multi-panel slide installation of modulated digital photographs of clouds.

The mirror images of cloud formations make intricate compositions that resemble the images used in the rohrschach-test of psychoanalysis.

(Clouds-metaphor: Clouds are like ideas and imaginations- powerful and dramatic at times or playful and light, but of non-physical substance, primal matter to become materialized in actions and results (rain and rivers)
"Rohrschachtest"- momentary incidental composition of clouds evoke cognitive reactions, distinct associations to known concept and experiences s in our human mind)

"Nature's little people" Large-scale Slide or Video Projections of wood pieces, pebbles, shells and flowers, static or in movement (computer-animated), in isolation or interaction with each other, recontextualized to be viewed as sculptural objects rather than organic debris.

(Metaphor: individuality and uniqueness of each particle, each organism, each human- shaped by their genes, their surroundings and conditioning- each with unique character (-istics), textures and edges. Precious in their singularity, subordinated within a bigger organic system as one of the whole. Flowers: metaphor for pure beauty, innocence and optimism- being "the best one can be")

"Aion"* Digital Collages (click here for more artwork samples)

In this series of digital collages (printed by Digitograf process on canvas, various sizes) I am combining digital photographs of natural objects like stones, feathers, nuts, shells etc. with layered geometrical linework.

Reflecting upon the inherent geometry of the natural objects by transposing geometrical linework I am exploring the universal language of geometric symbolism.

Geometric structures are the basic building blocks of the material universe- all biological, chemical and electromagnetic particles can be broken down into the primal non-physical structure of geometry. The creation, understanding and application of geometric forms were vital steps towards the development of human culture. Until today art, writing, architecture, science and spirituality all rely on the basic concepts of geometry.

Basic geometry- lines, circles, spirals, triangles etc.- emanate subtle inherent frequencies and trigger intuitive understanding of fundamental concepts within the human's psyche.

By engaging the ancient intuitive rather than the discriminating intellectual perception the mandala-like Aion Collages reflect on the pure visual properties of natural objects and the subtle radiance of geometric symbols- both are very close to the essence of life and thus are visual events that are universally understood, before and after word and language.

another influence was tina zimmermann. by first contact in san francisco in october 1998 i gaved her my work aion - primal geometry by written text of philosophie aion metall sculpture to see my work with the first symbols out nature,
she tooks this found to the university where she studied digital design. they did accept at the university of san francicso my philosophie by found of ten symbols, where you can found in all cultures and religions in all the time.
AION by Barbara Streiff 1998
Barbara Streiff, in her work AION, the Eternal, unites all religions and cultures through ten symbols which appear in different religions. By using these symbols (gr. syn-ballein: throwing together) the different parts of the piece are brought together creating an inner connection between an image and its original form,. The panel hangs in the middle of an empty wall, whose backlighting allows the symbols to be portrayed. We aren't directly aware of the light, but rather of the reflection made by it. In the center is the Point, the symbol for creation and for the individuality of every person. Surrounding this Point is the the Star, the symbol of heavenly light and then the Circle, which represents perfection or eternity. These three symbols form the core of the panel. The Spiral winding counterclockwise radiates out from the core and represents the path which every man follows or for the labyrinth in which he is led. Time and growth are contained within the Spiral. It symbolizes the basic truth that in life we are always standing in the same place and yet always going further. The form the Circle is seen in the Spiral expanding into infinity. The Square encloses the Spiral, which creates in each of the four corners a Triangle, the symbol of heavenly power in many religions. The Lines of the Square themselves represent the path or the movement which all things make. They intersect in a point which symbolizes peace or stability within constant change. The Square represents the earth, the world, or life itself. The four corners are the four cardinal points, the four elements Earth, Air, Fire, Water, the four seasons, and so on. The horizontal parallels of the Square signify the water of life or the contact with eternity. The vertical parallels are decorated with two crosses. The Cross, the Christian symbol of the Passion, is also found on the old Celtic stones where the five points denote the higher life. At the center of the Cross is the Point, the intersection of two paths, the point of decision. The Crosses lie not in the center, but rather on the Square, and point away from the center, so that the first awareness is not of the Crosses but of the Point. The unique perfection of man is protected by the earthly rectangle from the cross, and the cross is simultaneously the symbol for the higher life as well as earthly life. At the top and the bottom are the Lightning bolts, symbolizing conception or energy which comes from the heaven above and is carried down by the iron plate to the earth below. Between the Lightning bolts the tiny stars of the cosmos are suggested by the holes cut into the plate. The Rust on the iron plate should remind one of the transciency of life to which we are all subject and show the yearning of all material things to return to their original form
