Le dispositif de Ricardo Iglesias et Mario Ruiz, "Evolutional machine, un robot autista" interroge la confrontation entre deux mondes et les interférences qu`ils produisent : le monde technologique et le monde des êtres vivants. La sphère technologique est habitée par une série de robots ayant chacun des fonctions diverses selon leur programmation, indépendamment de l`influence des êtres vivants. La frontière entre les deux mondes est ici diffuse. Une relation s`établit au travers d`un dispositif de captation et de retransmission contredisant la relation attendue entre l`observateur et l`observé. Dans l`espace, sur l`écran et sur le web. "Evolutional machine, un robot autista" établit une relation homme-machine basée sur une interaction réciproque. Les deux éléments appartiennent à un unique système logique, contrairement à ce qui se passe habituellement dans la logique du subjugué et de la subjugation. Du statut d`agent, nous devenons constituant intrinsèque de la logique de la relation.

Takahiko Iimura is a groundbreaking Japanese film- and video-maker. Like Jonas Mekas in New York, Iimura, in Tokyo, was instrumental in bringing together and organizing Japanese independent and avant-garde filmmakers and events in the early 1960s; he also played the dual role of organizer and filmmaker himself. Takahiko IIMURA`s Early Conceptual Videos are one of the starting points of Japanese video art. After coming back from New York in 1969, Taka Iimura started video production in Tokyo. Working in experimental film since the early 1960s, he first combined the art of film with video thus making a kind of flicker effect in video The Japanese concept of ma is something that was not so familiar to me. The meaning of the word ma was not clear, yet we use it in many situations. It was, indeed, a very mysterious word. To be frank, I thought it was too Japanese to handle. However in the 1970s I found an interest in the concept of ma as I was thinking a lot about the concept of time in film. Because time in film is considered duration rather than "clock time" of N+1. It is the kind of duration that Henry Bergson called duree. This concept was a starting point in making this film. - TI

The film’s dialogue has been copied from online forums as is, with no editing. Many times these “ faceless ” online conversations end up to a very surreal limbo.

Media artist and filmmaker Jan Ijäs lives and works in Helsinki, Finland. Ijäs works with documentary, fiction and alternative film. The films of Ijäs deal with serious and difficult social themes, like migration into foreign and hostile societies. Ijäs`s films have been shown very widely abroad by over a hundred film festivals and as installations in museums and galleries.

Two Islands is a film about two enormous waste dumps in Staten Island and Hart Island, NYC. One is a now closed landfill, which at one point was the largest in the world, the other is a cemetary of unidentified people, still in use. Two Islands bluntly asks: what does the existence of these two huge mountains of economic and social waste tell about our civilization, and what kind of legacy will the archaeologists see in them when they are studying these a few centuries from now?

Filmmaker and media-artist Jan Ijäs (b. 1975) is a artist of lens-based art, both still and moving. The films of Ijäs tend to break the traditional boundaries of fictive and documentary films. Ijäs?s work is often displayed as gallery installations rather than in traditional movie venues incorporated with still images and text works. Ijäs?s, sometimes even humorous works, deal with serious and difficult social themes, like migration into foreign and hostile societies. Ijäs?s films have been shown very widely abroad by movie festivals (over hundred) and art museums.

Ils n'ont qu'une salle de bain pour tout l'appartement et personne ne veut la réparer. Pourquoi ? Parce qu'elle est commune.

The House Guard is a double portrait – of the Tallinn Linnahall concert and sports venue and its caretaker Peter, who are both bound by seclusion. It tells the story of the decline of a legendary building through one man`s eyes, and the personal story of a man against the backdrop of a vanishing building. It is a dialogue between the two.

Catastrophe is the fatal turning point or resolution in Ancient Greek drama. The word catastrophe in Greek and Arabic bears the same weight: the catastrophe of Asia Minor, the Exodus from Palestine. When catastrophe strikes, the visual equivalent of extreme shock is to drop whatever one holds in one’s hands. The “unbreakable” Duralex glasses were created in France in the late 50’s and have today become a classic. A symbol of strength and durability, they have spread around the whole world and have been photographed in the hands of Afghan tribesmen, James Bond, and even Osama bin Laden. The “Western” glasses are shot in slow motion as they fall to the ground, bounce, alternate and merge with the more fragile Arabic tea-glasses in a silent and ultimately shared - dance of death. Letters hit the falling glassware with the rhythmic intensity of gunshots, spelling the word catastrophe in Greek, English, and Arabic (nakba). Catastrophe is a reflection on the current events in the world and the increasing loss of value of human life.

Avalanche is an enhanced water beverage filtered through a human pipeline that traces the flow of water through a city and through the body. A live performance presents municipal water usage as a literal concert of bodies, a system that is improbable, arduous, and flawed. The Avalanche bottling process begins with an ice cap harvested from the Never Summer Mountain Range. The ice melts and travels through a series of human filters, eventually collecting in crystal singing bowls. The sound of this filtration is performed as a concert for a live audience, while at the same time being live broadcast back to the mountain range, causing an avalanche from the vibration of sound waves. The avalanche is bottled for consumption, while also providing new ice to begin the process again. The project consists of a one night live performance, multi-channel video and vending machine stocked with Avalanche water, all of which work together to create a mythology of the product’s source. Passing water between the city and the mountain in an endless feedback loop, IfNf`s filtration process equates the mountain spring with the trickle of water across a dirty windshield, the tears of two middle-aged men, the gargle and spit from a teenager’s mouth, juxtaposing trivial everyday gestures with the looming, dark future of a changing climate.

Inspired by the works of the Chinese literary master Qian Zhongshu, HBG: Humans, Beasts and Ghosts is an experimental video game, a playable life simulator in which the audience, assuming the role of God, facilitates the everyday being of the different worlds inhabited by humans, beasts and ghosts. The player can choose to act as an interventionist God, creating and destroying whimsically, or simply watching the worlds unfold with minimal or no interference. A literary adaptation in a digital and playable form, HBG is an allegorical play about human existence, its dilemma and other catastrophes.

INERTIA. Device and residue. Just as an eye blink denies the presence of a specific space or time within a continuum, so a frame freezes a particular place and moment. It is the indivisible unit of the audiovisual mechanism, and its basic inductor is light. Thereby begins a journey that takes us from the real to the represented, finally leading us to that ultimate reality, the document. Inertia deals with the construction of reality. The route is a place and the vector imposes itself on the object. The present then tends to disappear in a continuous movement and what happens is indeed its non-presence. Over its four-minutes length, Inertia responds to the conventions of rhythm, visual axes, and other narrative norms with the rules that we use to assimilate the entire audiovisual spectrum. There occurs a specific accident between the fragile rules of narration and the sophistication of what is staged, confronted with the inescapable physical connotations of gravity, weight, or the volume of the elements in its service.

Carlos Irijalba (Pamplona, 1979) graduated in 2002 at the Fine Arts Basque Country University and studied at UDK Berlin is actually resident at Rijksakademie Amsterdad. Awarded Purificacion Garcia photography first Prize and the Revelation PhotoEspaña Prize among others, he also received the Guggenheim Bilbao Photography grant in 2003 or the Marcelino Botín Foundation in 2007/08.

La tendance à négocier l?espace en faveur d?une certaine hégémonie du temporaire s?est développée au point de devenir une réalité stratégique à caractère global, avec des vues économiques et politiques. Actuellement, le gain de temps est une question qui vise exclusivement les trajectoires, les vecteurs, et le territoire abandonne sa signification au profit de ce qui est en mouvement. Les approches développées dans les projets récents de l?artiste, comme "Switch off all Devices" en 2006, ou "Twilight", en 2008, font état d?une capitalisation patente de l?espace et du mouvement. L?espace est assimilé et devient même quelque chose dont on peut se dispenser, alors que le geste ou l?orientation prennent l?avantage et acquièrent une nature visuelle. Le chemin est un endroit et la trajectoire est imposée à l?objet. Le présent tend donc à disparaître dans un mouvement incessant. Le présent tend donc à disparaître dans un mouvement incessant, entraînant sa non présence. Ce projet propose une intervention réelle sur le lieu même du conflit. Les voies rapides de circulation, les autoroutes, matérialisent le lieu du désengagement topographique, de la mise en ?uvre de la coercition, de l?engagement dans le mouvement, ici dans le mouvement incessant sur une bretelle très fréquentée. Cette contradiction peut prendre la forme de déserts isolés au sein de la circulation, et prend ici la forme d?une forêt miniature, réduite à sa fonction symbolique, et dont l?expérience que l?on peut en faire en tant que lieu est impossible, car ce lieu est inaccessible. Les problématiques comme celle de l?échelle ou de la tangibilité sont ici défaites. Une trouée s?ouvre, des temporalités radicalement différentes se succèdent.

Carlos Irijalba est un artiste espagnol né à Pampelune en 1979. Il est diplômé de l?université du Pays basque et de l?UDK, Université des arts de Berlin. Dans son travail, il analyse la manière dont la culture occidentale recrée un medium abstrait qui perd toute relation, hormis à lui-même. Le spectacle a délimité le visible de manière à ce qu?il puisse être rapidement digéré, en transférant l?attention vers une série de pseudo événements. Le travail de Carlos Irijalba tend à faire éprouver l?expérience relative du temps et de l?espace, et de la construction collective du réel.

TWILIGHT. Twilight consists of the displacing of a floodlighting tower for a football pitch, a space that is hyperdefined by and for spectacle, whose descriptive lighting presents the subject of its attention as the only one that exists. This tower has been transferred to one of Europe?s last forests, Irati, in the north of Navarre, creating as a replica a redefinition of the real as visible employing the language proper to spectacle. The project is about the way in which the West constructs a circuit of the real through light. Natural lighting provides a consistent space-time dimension, while the West?s approach to light, in contrast, goes beyond the manufacture of an eternal day to rupture structures and cycles towards the construction of an abstract medium that loses all relations except in relation to itself. Fire as the first artifice and, later, artificial light have symbolised the place of transformation. Spectacle has inherited the place and hypnotic qualities of fire and has marked out the plane of the visible so that it can be digested, transferring attention towards a series of pseudo-events. Representation of place is now insufficient. The project poses this installation as the need for the real beyond its image. The last place is the place itself.

Carlos Irijalba. Biography Carlos Irijalba (Pamplona, 1979) graduated in 1998 from the Pamplona School of Art and went on to continue his training at the University of the Basque Country where he obtained his Fine Arts degree. He also studied in Berlin at the Universität der Kunst with artist and professor Lothar Baumgarten and actually has a studio residence at ISCP New York. In 2004 he received the First Award for Young Artists, as well as a photography grant from the Guggenheim, to which must be added a Plastic Arts Grant from the Fundacion Marcelino Botín in 2007 and the Purificacion Garcia Photography Award. Carlos has exhibited at national and international Centres, including the CCCB in Barcelona, Miami, New York,Tokyo and Beijing. In previous projects, such as ?Outside comes first? or ?Devices? (both in 2007) he had already worked on the distortion of the construction of reality in the West. So, with Twilight he continues to delve into our understanding of and approach to reality, and spectacle. He is currently developing a photograph and video project in Beijing entitled Dromocracia.
