Applied Arts Vienna.

The exhibition, 'Djinni in a Bottle' expands the field of contemporary art
through the posing of new conceptual questions and enters the terrain of
computer generated production forms, which to date has been barely explored.
The starting-point for the project with some 16 positions from the
surroundings of the Digital Art Department of the University of Applied Arts
Vienna is the artistic acquisition of the object creation process, which
until now has been used primarily in architecture and design for the
materialisation of designs. Under the term '3D prototyping' digital
calculations are employed for the realisation of workpieces, models, objects
and sculptures as 3D prints, generally in the form of various synthetic
materials. This technology opens up completely new possibilities for the
realisation in three-dimensional, concrete form of aesthetic concepts from
the media arts field, which up to today could only be visualized in the form
of animation for the computer screen, or merely existed as datasets and
therefore remained immaterial. This exhibition constitutes the first
occasion upon which artists and theoreticians have combined their differing
approaches with such a degree of intensity.
In cooperation with: Ashley Holwell, Hans Nevidal, Sophie-Carolin Wagner.
