Angelo Vermeulen & Joenoes Natar – [sb]iLD, 2015 – ongoingAluminium printsInspired by research of Peter Schall (IoP, UvA) and Wim Noorduin (AMOLF)[sb]iLD is a hard sciencefiction project that aims to explore the ethical repercussions of man-made artificial intelligence interacting with extra-terrestrial life. The project proposes new concepts for interstellar life detection, inspired by na-notechnology, metamaterials research, distributed comput-ing and swarm behaviour.

Prints and ceramic installation “I see the act of making in direct relation to my work. It can be seen as a wish to involve a performative aspect. There might only remain an image after an action. The work has an affinity with science and mathematics, which I employ as a language to inform and create forms as well as to analyse them.”

Gwenneth Boelens – The very thing we don’t know is always trying to expand, 2016Digitized 16mm films, 11 and 14 minutesIn collaboration with Erik Verlinde (IoP, UvA) One of the most remarkable aspects in the study on “dark matter phenomena” as practiced by the protagonist of this film, theoretical physicist Erik Verlinde, is the sheer invisibility of its subject matter, and the role ofimagination in coming to a scientifically sound equation. By layering speech, notation, movement and sound, this film taps into this process in an oblique manner.

Current images are results of [sb]iLD’s ongoing artistic research, and are used as preparatory studies in the creation of techno-specific narratives.Daniela de Paulis – A Sign in Space, 2016 Wooden light-boxesImagery by Rudy Wijnands (API, UvA), credits: NASA/SwiftHow do we internalize the knowledge made of scientific data based on the study of the electromagnetic spectrum and converted into sound and images? The lightboxes show the centre of our galaxy, and how this is captured over time by NASA’s Swift satellite. While visualising the inner core of our galaxy estimated to be over 25.000 lightyears away, the images are simultaneously a documentation of the degradation of satellite parts, dam-aged by space debris, cosmic rays and time, resulting in a dialogue between medium and mediated that both express the passing of time.

Tarja Szaraniec – No Title, 2016Mixed media on paper/in tableInspired by research imagery of Harry Seijmonsbergen (IBED, UvA)Based on color-codes that were used in geomorpho- log-ical maps which very specifically say something about an area, the work explores the relationship between our spatial awareness and the layers of meaning that a landscape interconnects. Where geomorphology includes erosion and time, mathe- matics and astrophysics bring about new concepts of space. This engenders questions about how a landscape can be suggested as a drawing.

Lotte Geeven - The Sky Museum, 2016 4K video, 35 minutesBased on research by John van Boxel (IBED, UvA) and inspired by research imagery from the Anton Pannekoek Institute (UvA)One slow meditative camera movement captures museumlike rooms in which different states of the atmosphere are taking shape. Static snowlike structures, and swirling complex patterns transform into floors, while a multitude of elements from the sky, such as snowflakes, insects, seeds and gasses, slowly pass by.

Doina Kraal – Particle Hunt, 2016 Multimedia audio-tour

In collaboration with Marcel Merk (Nikhef/CERN).Particle Hunt explores the way we can speak about the subatomic world. Investigating the questions that arise from CERN’s beauty experiment, it explores the mystery of the matter and antimatter asymmetry and the possibility of exist-ence. The audiotour leads past several locations spread out over the Science Park. From Nikhef to the old particle accelerator and the university, it includes music fragments, questions and stories as well as sculptures, (photographic) images and other objects. It points to the ongoing search of elementary particles in all its aspects.Special thanks to Stan Bentvelsen, Niels Tuning, Patrick Werneke and Jelle van der Werff (Nikhef/CERN).

AMOLF Categories are changing. Sound becomes light, meteorite becomes a pair of glasses, a molecule becomes a sea. Former boundaries between categories, between life and object, between matter and process are blurring. How can we understand this transient territory today? What are the implications of the changes in how we think about matter, what it is and what it can be. New systems of thought give space to new stories.

Domnitch & Gelfand – Implosion Chamber, 2014 Video documentation of installation, 5:27 minutes High fre-quency sound waves propagate through a water-filled cyl-inder, prompting naturally diffused air bubbles to implode. While tracing the motion imparted by sound waves, these implosions are accompanied by shock waves, jet formations, temperatures as high as are found on the Sun, and conjec-turally quantum tunnelling. A white laser illuminates the bubbles, transforming them into shimmering lenses. Accompanied by a text from Pieter Rein ten Wolde (Amolf)

NIKHEF Invisible realities define our world. Datastreams structure society just as the subatomic world forms the environment. Invisible, yet constructing the visible. Incredible yet knowable through incredible ways. New sci-entific territories resist traditional visual modes and narrative structures giving rise to an aesthetics of new methods of exploration.

Eva Pel – Art For Data Center Workers, 2016Video, 10:12 minutes The Amsterdam Internet Exchange, the AMS-IX, is partly housed at the Nikhef and is the most important and biggest internet node in the world. It is the physical location where networks come together to inter-connect and directly exchange traffic, although there is no obligation to do so. AMS-IX, a nonprofit platform, started in 1994 as SURFnet, a university network. The Internet is a network of networks, based on a set of rules; the Internet Protocol (IP). It is community-based, and does not belong to anyone. Filmed on location at Nikhef, National Institute for Subatomic Physics, Amsterdam.

New Realism: The Gaze of ScienceNew Realism: The Gaze of Science brings artists and scientists together to experiment with a way of seeing that goes beyond the limits of our imagination. By visualising a world that lies beyond optical laws, scientific imagery creates a radical new visual language - a post-lens perspective - and challenges us to imagine the unimaginable.New Realism conflates scientific and artistic research in an experiment that delves into topics such as dark matter, symmetry, metamaterials, and the building blocks of life.

With work by: Semâ Bekirovic, Maura Biava, Gwenneth Boelens, Domnitch & Gelfand, Anne Geene, Lotte Geeven, Gerrit Rietveld Academy students, Voebe de Gruyter, Kyra Hurkmans, Doina Kraal, Daniela de Paulis, Eva Pel, Han Schuil, Tarja Szaraniec, and Angelo Vermeulen & Joenoes Natar in collaboration with scientists from AMOLF, Nikhef and the University of Amsterdam.

Public ProgrammeSPUI25 lecture, in collaboration with the University of Amsterdam April 5, 2016 17:00-18:30

Perception and Imagination Lab – About the scientific visual language and the future of our imagination.Gravitational waves, Higgs particles, quantum behaviour, nanophotonics, the genome; our imagination cannot visualise the current scientific knowledge. How can a future complex dynamic perspective take shape? The Perception and Imagination Lab looks at the biggest and smallest things, and how the new scientific perspective influences our imagination and worldview. During the lecture an astrophysical, philosophical, artistic, and psychological perspective experiment with the limits of our imagination. With: Doina Kraal, Marthe Zeevenhooven, Sera Markoff, and Martijn van Calmthout. Sign up for the lecture on the website of SPUI25, www.spui25.nl

Film screening at the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) in Fall 2016. The exact date and time will be announced on www.newrealism.org and Facebook.
