There are contact microphones that pick up all the activity in the hive - the buzz, when the bees walk over, or fly against them. The monitoring of the bees means to look at time in a different way, due to the ecological process of the bee season. This process then becomes the monitoring of the bee season. The specta… ami Tue, 15 May 2012 12:25:38 +0200 http://www.timeinventorskabinet.org/wiki/doku.php/publication Within the TIK project, we started to work at a publication. Normally one writes a kind of book with several authors, with a deadline and a final result. If media writers and other artists are working more process-related, then it would be a nice experiment to adopt a more process-minded approach for publishing. At the same time we have to keep the benefits of working collaboratively and in networks, related to limited printing on paper, and including on both platforms the necessary media files. lenka Mon, 14 May 2012 21:40:45 +0200 http://www.timeinventorskabinet.org/wiki/doku.php/sown._urban_farming_communities Sown: Urban Farming Communities Daniele Sambo Sown is a photographic project, in which Daniele Sambo unveils wastelands in different European cities at night. For the artificial light he borrows electricity from the surrounding residents, bringing them in the picture almost as partners or accomplices. The photographs tend to reveal more the strong character of these places rather than they highlight the daytime gardening activities. lenka Mon, 14 May 2012 20:41:09 +0200 http://www.timeinventorskabinet.org/wiki/doku.php/lighthouse_windclock LightHouse WindClock Isjtar The LightHouse WindClock uses a chain of analogies passing through wind - movement - light - electricity - sound to catch the movement of the wind and generate time with it. It is a windmill that beams light, sonified by a couple of photo-diodes. A made drum that spins in the wind with a light source inside makes the flashing pattern of the light interrupted by the blades and this process indicates the windspeed. lenka Mon, 14 May 2012 20:38:13 +0200 http://www.timeinventorskabinet.org/wiki/doku.php/moss_clock Moss Clock by Stefanie Wuschitz cocreated with Barbara Huber The installation highlights the small parts of interaction like the ones found in everyday life. The Moss Clock is only allowed to tick, when an animal walks by, a hand moves over it, or when a bird passes the moss. Any encounter with a living being sets the Moss Clock to its next phase. Through this interaction, time elapses. During the exhibition, the clock itself is growing, expanding and moldering. lenka Mon, 14 May 2012 20:27:43 +0200 http://www.timeinventorskabinet.org/wiki/doku.php/spacetime Spacetime Peter Venus The way people perceive surrounding events, is strongly biased by different external factors. These external triggers alter the perception of time, ultimately leading towards an ever changing feeling, of how long passing events or even days are. Peter Venus creates an installation, which makes use of so called WindClocks which trigger impulses, according to changes in the wind. Since wind is mostly an uncontrollable event in nature, the generated data could be used as an a… lenka Mon, 14 May 2012 20:23:28 +0200 http://www.timeinventorskabinet.org/wiki/doku.php/sown/urban_farming_communities Sown: urban farming communities by Daniele Sambo Sown is a photographic project, in which Daniele Sambo unveils wastelands in different European cities at night.

This idea stresses the ignorance of people and questions the safety of everyday life by showing the power of weather and its influence on situations and people. People live in a world saturated with images and this saturation pushes aside thoughts about possible everyday danger. lenka Mon, 14 May 2012 20:16:27 +0200 http://www.timeinventorskabinet.org/wiki/doku.php/video_composter Video Composter Jogi Hofmüller and IOhannes m zmölnig “We are looking at about 2 hours and 15 minutes of video material from okno pad.ma database, collected during the whole TIK project. Originally it used to be about 3 hours, it's already degraded. You see the tiny sequences of video, which we put randomly like on the compost. Some of them are already destroyed, the others are quite intact because they have been added later to the whole process.” lenka Mon, 14 May 2012 20:14:06 +0200 http://www.timeinventorskabinet.org/wiki/doku.php/intervention_at_okno_garden._narratives_for_an_imagined_garden Intervention at Okno garden. Narratives for an imagined garden Lorena Lozano “I have made the labels which denominate the names of some of the plants in the garden. They are made of wood, and they are engraved with a text, a poetic thought, or a message evoking the history of the plant, sometimes a personal story, or memories. I work in a living environment, but I always use a linguistic aspect in the work. I have never visited the okno rooftop garden before, so for me it was very exciting on o… lenka Sun, 13 May 2012 13:58:01 +0200 http://www.timeinventorskabinet.org/wiki/doku.php/ctesibius Ctesibius Barbara Huber, Martina Kedrova, and Norbert Math lenka Sun, 13 May 2012 13:55:46 +0200 http://www.timeinventorskabinet.org/wiki/doku.php/laundry_clock Laundry Clock Barbara Huber, Stefanie Wuschitz, and Marton Juhasz “The Laundry Clock is also a wind clock but a different one.

We use the small honey batteries that work like galvanic piles. Honey is a bit acid, an I use a very thin file of copper and a thin file of aluminium. The acid from the honey starts to produce electricity. One sheet of aluminium and one sheet of copper produces a half watt.

On the desk you see also the breath catcher, the wearable sensor capturing data of breathing, from which I have made five different pieces. This installation and also the performance later on, is all about the awareness of your own breath. I am very much aware of my breath, and because I do a lot of meditation I breath very slowly.

We decided to use it as a teaser for the OpenGreens database, next to it. Because people are a bit scared of databases. You see a very simple set up - a small microscope, a small projector and a small moss garden. People can play with it, the whole set-up acts like a looking glass. It is a miniature garden, and the database is about taking a clos… lenka Sun, 13 May 2012 13:46:43 +0200 http://www.timeinventorskabinet.org/wiki/doku.php/gstettn_installation “Gstettn” Reni Hofmüller, Helene Thümmel and Renate Mihatsch “The project comes from thinking about all sorts of possible green spaces in Graz, the areas that at first sight are not the most wanted ones, but at second sight might be the most interesting spaces one can find in the city. We call them Gstettn, which can be translated as wastelands. You find them in every city. The special thing about them is that they are self-structured based on their history. So it is a kind of plant-growing m… lenka Sun, 13 May 2012 13:43:49 +0200 http://www.timeinventorskabinet.org/wiki/doku.php/illuminated_shroom Illuminated Shroom Peter Courtemanche “Since 2009 I’ve been building a series of mushrooms that are sentient, or aware. The first ones were based on an idea of extremely low frequency radiation, magnetic radiation that has the same frequency as the sound waves you hear in the air. The idea was, that man is creating so much radiation in the air that the mushroom wakes up and senses it, and decides to become a scientist that can examine what’s going on. These things can hang outside in the park.… lenka Sun, 13 May 2012 13:40:16 +0200 http://www.timeinventorskabinet.org/wiki/doku.php/wind_box Wind*Box Michal Kindernay “I like building my devices myself. This device is equipped with a wind sensor, and it uses wind as a basic trigger. It comes from a family of another devices, like the autonomous Camera Altera, which is more complex and sensing environmental changes. I like the idea that everything is stored in the box. Everything that is captured is also kept inside the box and projected there.” lenka Sun, 13 May 2012 13:23:15 +0200 http://www.timeinventorskabinet.org/wiki/doku.php/wind_agents_mapping Wind agents Mapping Marcio Domingues and Joeri Bultheel Marcio: “I am working with the wind clocks and visualizing it. I have several agents that socialize with each other and react to the landscape where they move. The wind clock signals shape the landscape.” Joeri: “The data are shaping the field. It was a very nice opportunity to let those agents run on the structure of neural networks that affect the sound. We have two topologies, visual and aural.

I am looking for a way of bringing back in those maybe unnoticed moments in the city that become a part of your everyday experience. When I was in Brussels last year, I led a silent sound walk from Okno up to Thurn & Taxis area, so I was interested in revisiting and seeing how the experience of this neighborhood has changed.”… lenka Sun, 13 May 2012 13:18:03 +0200
