- Sunny Side Up, 2018
🎥 by

Sunny Side Up, a robotic sun developed by studio AATB, proposes a contemporary take on the archaic typology of the sundial. This interactive object embodies the movement of the Sun in real time as the Earth orbits around it. From sunrise to high noon and sunset, Sunny Side Up brings the movement of this celestial body close to the viewer. The robotic sun orbits around a metal rod, casting a shadow and allowing the measurement of time, as well as the viewer’s reconnection with celestial events.
In the age of Anthropocene, Sunny Side Up raises questions on our current disconnect from the planet and circadian rhythms. In a future where cities get more and more polluted, will our current disconnect from starlight and the night sky permeate to daylight and the sun’s position? Similarly, in a world where productivity and work cycles ignore natural rhythms, can this artificial sun serve as a timely reminder of when to start and when to stop?
This man-made sun also raises awareness on the artificial construction of nature and the technological quest to harness it throughout time. The project was first shown during Milan Design Week 2018, as part of the U-JOINTS exhibition curated by Andrea Caputo and Anniina Koivu.
Sunny Side Up is one of the first commissions of newly formed studio AATB, which investigates the potential of robotics to exist outside of the realm of factory floors, operating at the intersection of art, design and technology. The Zurich and Marseille-based studio was founded by Andrea Anner and Thibault Brevet in 2018.

- Light Removal, 2005
Mirror, Stainless steel, halogen bulb | Lund Konsthall, Sweden

A circle composed of equal amounts of light and shadow is cast on a wall. To create this phenomenon, a spotlight shines on the right side of a semi-elliptical mirror, which is placed perpendicular to the wall. The light is thus reflected back to form the right half-circle, the other half-circle consisting of the shadow cast by the semi-ellipse.

- Musica Universalis, 2016
Steel, acrylic, LED, electronics, code | dimensions variable

Musica Universalis continues UVA’s explorations of time, space, light and sound.

During the 1st century BC, mathematician and philosopher Pythagoras discovered a series of relationships between geometry and harmonics. He identified that the pitch of a musical note is in proportion to the length of the string that produces it, and that intervals between harmonious sound frequencies form simple numerical ratios.

Musica Universalis is a spatial instrument that investigates the resonances from far away objects in our solar system. It comprises a series of kinetic, physical sculptures, each containing a spherical form and a mechanism driving a rotating light source and speaker. Light is cast through the space creating interventions and interactions with the architecture. Oscillations slowly drift in and out of harmony within each cell and across the series. Over time, white light shifts into its component frequencies of colour.

- Covering Letter, 2012
Fogscreen Projection | Dimensions Variable |

Covering Letter is the reiteration of an unlikely piece of historic correspondence: a brief letter written by Mahatma Gandhi to Adolf Hi**er a few weeks before Germany invaded Poland, setting off the Second World War. In his letter Gandhi makes an urgent appeal for peace, anticipating the depths of human savagery that the impending war would unleash. The pacifist and truth seeker begins his note with the words “Dear Friend,” addressing one of the most violent and deluded individuals to ever walk the earth.

As the words ascend along a film of descending mist, the audiences can walk through it, simultaneously inhabiting and dissipating the moving text. To Kallat, Gandhi’s request to Hi**er is an open letter which speaks as much to the present as to the past; a ‘covering letter’ to an endless resume of human violence. 📃 by Jitish Kallat

- Soap Opera, 2020
Roemer- und Pelizaeus-Museum, Hildesheim | Installation with soap, water, sound, light

„Soap Opera“ by the Slovenian collective Stran22 is an installation creating two seperate experiences. The viewer is first guided into a dark space with a circular opening, which seems to fixate the views of those visitors on the other side. Only by stepping through the opening into the white and bright space, the visitor is able to bare witness to an almost psychedelic array of colours that unfolds and just as unexpectantly disappears on the fragile membrane they just passed through.

- Untitled (to Janie Lee) two, 1971 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
„Untitled (to Janie Lee) two“ is one of Dan Flavin (1933-1996) corner sculptures the artist produced in 1971 and dedicated to the owner of the Janie C. Lee Gallery in Dallas, where they were first exhibited. Consisting of blue, green, yellow and pink fluorescent light it illuminates the dark recesses of a room, an area often neglected by artists. As one of his most intriguing works, the corner sculptures play with our perceptions of space and light. Its rich blue light gently mingles with the backlit green, yellow and pink to create a dramatic sunset of rainbow colours that penetrates into the deep corner of the room. The result is a very strong and independent work that not only reshapes or redefines space, it holds it together and masters it with a definitive presence that magically seems to draw in elements from the rest of the space into which it is set. 📃 via ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
