BioArt

"Living Drawings" by Hunter Cole is a set of line drawings created by bioluminescent bacteria. The bacteria are photographed over a period of 2 weeks and as food in the petri dish diminishes, the glow of the bacteria also decreases until they finally die.

Politically Engaged Media Artwork

Marc Lee *1969 *Switzerland creates network-oriented interactive projects since 1999.
Experimenting with information and communication technologies, his projects locate and critically discuss economic, political, cultural and creative "issue-clusters" that are essential for communication processes in digital networks. 

"Latest headlines from the Internet are in real time processed, analyzed and projected on big transparent balloons. The headlines are enriched with relevant texts, images, videos, noises and appropriate talks which are searched trough search engines such as ccMixer, Flickr, Google, Pozinger, Technorati, Yahoo, Wikipedia...
The more medias coverage the particular story, the bigger the balloons arise, done by inflation with a special pump."

Relational Media Artist

Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, born in 1967 in Mexico City, graduated from Concordia University with a B.Sc in Physical Chemistry. His works, which are mostly huge installations in public spaces, make use of computers, lights, sounds, projections, sensors in an effective way to encourage the audience to interact with the artworks, thus connecting not only the audience to the space and technology but also the individuals within the audience. Rafael's biggest intention as an artist is to make people aware of their environment and participate actively within the community.
"The political or corporate takeover of the city takes place in such insidious ways. Everywhere we look there is advertising. Left outside of this system is us, the consumers. Short of graffiti or skateboarding, how else do we form part of the city?"

My favourite work is Body Movies. It uses strong lights to cast passers-by's shadows on a wall which contains a projected image of static portraits. The image changes once all the portraits have been discovered.
Playing with your shadow is one of the things that comes naturally to you. Now playing with your shadow together with other people's shadows to tell a story makes it even more interesting and entertaining. Hence the artwork does not require much or any explanation for the audience to start understanding and interacting with it. Body Movies is an incredible artwork which brings people together using fun, creativity and teamwork. It's funny and very enjoyable to see how people can give a performance in a public space and communicate(sometimes with strangers) without having to say a word and without them even realising that they are the heart of the artwork.
"If no one participates, then the piece does not exist."
