~ in the fields

August: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31

~ in the fields, an Edinburgh based artistic partnership between Nicole Heidtke and Stefan Baumberger, reinvent old media, modifying ancient, odd machines and playing with optical toys. They found the starting point for this exhibition on the Shetland Islands where their research into oceanic plastic pollution led them to investigate the very elements and definition of Scottish landscape and seascape more closely. Using new technologies, lace knitting, collected drift wood and plastic, this new body of work created especially for this exhibition takes on the old media of observation, research and (dis)play. In two of their installations, the artists have chosen to make particular reference to the aquariums of Victorian oceanographic scientists and the 16th century bookwheel of Agostino Ramelli. A third work, Yen to see different places, is a networked sculpture inspired by the 19th century myrioama card game and has been co-commissioned by New Media Scotland and Edinburgh Art Festival. Visitors to the exhibition will be able to create seamless panoramas depicting idealized Scottish landscapes which can then be viewed through a publicly sited tourist telescope located in the New Town as part of the Promenade Commissions programme (see page XX for more details). ~ in the fields were awarded the inaugural Alt-w Design Informatics residency at the Inspace laboratory in 2012. This exhibition showcases the results of this new annual residency. The Alt-w Fund is managed by New Media Scotland and is supported by Creative Scotland and the Centre for Design Informatics.
