This is an event where community members gather to record the sounds of the city and turn them into one piece of music.
The digital art platform NEORT is proud to announce the official inauguration of the exhibition "Thalesā Engraving" by Media Producer Masayuki Akamatsu at NEORT++ and now distributes certificates of participation to commemorate the event. The exhibition will offer "POAP" to viewers visiting the gallery. One night in the city-state of Miletus facing the Aegean Sea, Thales was walking while looking up at the starry sky. Because he was so immersed in looking closely at the stars and searching for their truth, he was unaware of the roadside ditch and fell into it. The important thing here is that he was on the move. His behavior seems bizarre for the time because celestial bodies are generally observed at a fixed point, such as a robust observatory. So let's imagine the stars reflected in his mind and eyes. That is the essence of "Thalesā Engraving". "Thalesā Engraving" refers to a photograph or video of the starry sky that uses a special long-exposure method. Star trails appear in the dark night sky, sometimes with clouds or thunder, as well as airplanes or satellites. The camera is digitally controlled by a unique device and program, and it takes several tens of minutes to several hours to shoot. With this kind of function, you can get a variety of images that differ each time depending on location, time, weather, and so on. Please come and see the new experiments of Akamatsu, who has a long career as a media artist.
The digital art platform NEORT is proud to announce the official inauguration in May at the NEORT++ gallery of the solo exhibition āTiny Sketchesā by Shunsuke Takawo and now distributes certificates of participation to commemorate the event. The exhibition will offer "POAP" to viewers visiting the gallery. Takawo has started a daily activity to write a tiny code called "sketch" every day since January 1, 2015. In March 2019, he started publishing the sketches through Twitter and OpenProcessing, and called the activity "daily coding". Takawo's daily coding started as a personal activity but his purpose and meaning changed dramatically through the communication with people via published codes and graphics. In the process of the daily exchange of comments on sketches and code references and modifications that transcended language barriers, Takawo gradually began to see the nature of his code as a commons (common property) in which the ideas and techniques of others were mixed in with his own code. At the same time, Takawo began to rediscover the cultural practices that are rooted in our daily life and the region, and he started focusing on the possibility of expression through personal/poetic codes that link this side of the display to the other side of the code. The NFT art project "Generativemasks," which attracted worldwide attention when it was presented in August 2021, was one fruition in the practice and transformation of daily coding. His daily coding, which explores an alternative and open form of expression through code that deviates from the mainstream of general art, which is evaluated based on advanced algorithms and computation, and software development that expects functionality and purposefulness, is currently being carried out as a daily activity by Takawo and other artists who share his activities on SNS. This exhibition, "Tiny Sketches," will present approximately 200 sketches carefully selected from Takawo's daily coding series of over 1,500 sketches as printed works. During the exhibition, NFT artworks derived from daily coding will also be presented. We hope you will enjoy this modest yet poetic and free-spirited exhibition of Takawo's code expressions and activities.
This POAP was created to celebrate @vividot hitting 2000 followers. Only @vividot followers can receive POAP. Also, maybe there will be something for the vividot NFT Gachapon participants. https://nft.vividot-de.fi/
