Buda Fabriek: Conceptual Work in Progress

The search for a well defined crossing point, an interface where art and economy beneficially meet each other.

Buda Fabriek: Conceptual Work in Progress

The search for a well defined crossing point, an interface where art and economy beneficially meet each other, turned out to be a maze …

Definitions ….

“The interesting thing about an artist’s way of work is the ability to think differently and to create something new and unexpected out of something perceived as static and impossible to change” (Jan-Peter Idström)

ARTs ECO?

ARTs ECO

Buda Fabriek: Conceptual Work in Progress

“ Now that globalization continues to power forward, clusters of industries become more specialized in individual locations. Economic activity is clustered across the globe – watches in Switzerland, disk drives in Singapore, flat panel displays in Korea, semiconductors in Taipei, Circus in Montréal, Telecommunication in Helsinki, manufacturing in Shanghai. Each region has to define its strength and attract complementary partners.” (Richard Florida –Who’s your city).

Breakthrough: there is no crossing point

Buda Fabriek: Conceptual Work in Progress

The maze showed some common ground between Art and Economy: Media, Architecture, Fashion, (industrial) Design

Economic driven businesses that need inspiration from the timeless, not result driven Arts

Page 23: Buda Fabriek _ workshops

That common ground between Art and Economy could also be instantiations of alternative thematic clustering. Perhaps a more open path to multidisciplinary projects and unexpected innovations…

U-Ram Choe: The eye of science is looking at God

“The speed of light fascinates me. Everything that we see in the sky has already happened”. Representation of the Milky way, the motorized construction orbits an axis driven by electrical pulses.

Page 34: Buda Fabriek _ workshops

U-Ram Choe: The eye of science is looking at God

Work at the interface between art and technology: LEDs, circuits, motors, rotary gear, CPU boards, custom software

Page 35: Buda Fabriek _ workshops

U-Ram Choe: The eye of science is looking at God

Evoking the awe and wonder of nighttime skies, several flickering orbs illuminate the gallery space and surround the viewer with sparkling nebulae.

Nathaniel Mellors: A potent mixture of media

Combining performance, video, sculpture, print and animatronics. Three animatronic heads cast in the likeness of a lead character. They intone excerpts and chant, interacting with the projected performances.

Page 38: Buda Fabriek _ workshops

Nathaniel Mellors: A potent mixture of media

The ‘theater’ version parallels the ‘rehearsal’ video, drawing attention to alterations that occur throughout the creative process.

Page 39: Buda Fabriek _ workshops

Megan and Murray McMillan: Interdisciplinary projects

Projects that incorporate video, installation, photography and performance. The distinction between ‘real’ performance and ‘staged’ performance becomes slippery

Page 40: Buda Fabriek _ workshops

Megan and Murray McMillan: Interdisciplinary projects

The distinction between ‘real’ performance and ‘staged’ performance becomes slippery. Different viewpoints on work in progress

Page 41: Buda Fabriek _ workshops

Julius Popp: Machines with body consciousness

Work at the interface between art and science, focus on the nature of intelligent beings and autonomous intelligent systems.

Page 42: Buda Fabriek _ workshops

Theo Jansen: Self-propelling beach animals

Muscles can open taps to activate other muscles that open other taps, and so on. This creates control centers that can be compared to brains.

Page 43: Buda Fabriek _ workshops

Sachiko Kodama: Silicon dreams

Explores the dialogue between science and arts. Aims to draw attention to interdisciplinary practice between science, technology and art, as well as promoting the image of the European Union as a leader in research and development.

Martin L. Demaine: Artist & MIT - AI - researcher

Being both an artist and a researcher, I’m eager to help bridge the communication gaps between the two groups.

Page 45: Buda Fabriek _ workshops

Elena Corchero: Wearable technology

She melts traditional craft and technology to celebrate these twocommonly opposed mediums and explore their meaning and relevance in today's society. .

Page 46: Buda Fabriek _ workshops

Studio Roosegaarde: Intimacy

Intimacy is a fashion project about the relation between intimacy and technology. Its high-tech garments 'Intimacy White' and 'Intimacy Black' are made out of interactive technologies and smart e-foils which become transparent based on personal interactions.

Buda Fabriek - START 2012 - Buda Fabric

“Buda Fabriek is the first artistic-economic project in Flanders. Therefore it develops vital coalitions in which artists, creators, companies, scientists or individual thinkers can interact and search for social, artistic en economical innovation. By the development of platform for knowledge sharing, the production of prototypes and the presentation of innovative projects, Buda Fabriek will become a thriving force for change in the region and in the world”
