TINA GONSALVES EXHIBITION IN BERKS, UK
Feel_Insula: An interactive Installation about Stillness, Emotions and
Hypnosis. Feel.Insula is an intimate and vulnerable responsive video
installation driven by the stillness of the audience. In a darkened space,
a video is projected on the wall. It is of the artist under hypnosis.
Under hypnosis, the artist is asked to re-experience potent emotional
memories of her life. As soon as the viewer enters the space, the artist
wakes up from hypnosis. Only after the audience is completely still does
the video fall back into weaving the stories re-lived under hypnosis.
FEEL_INSULA emerges from a collaboration between neuroscientist Dr Hugo
Critchley and artist Tina Gonsalves, and was created over her artist in
residency at the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience at UCL, London.
Until 3 August
New Greenham Arts, The Corn Exchange 113 Lindenmuth Way . New Greenham

9TH ANNUAL DIGITAL CALL FOR ENTRIES
Digital’07 is an exhibition of Digital Prints to be held at the New York
Hall of Science.
For Digital’07, we are specifically looking at how structure and pattern
in the universe, whether visible or invisible to the naked eye, have
become the muse for many contemporary digital artists. We seek to explore
how today’s scientific fields of systems science, chaos and string theory,
fractals, nanoscience, genetics, molecular science, the wavelets or
frequency of sound, or a myriad of other mathematical data-sets have
influenced today’s artists working with 2-dimensional pattern in their
art.
And let’s not forget the oldest source of pattern, nature itself! As
Galileo is quoted to have said: “Nature’s great book is written in
mathematical symbols.” Nature is, of course, an infinite resource for the
lover of pattern.
We invite your submissions to this year’s digital print competition that
will have a physical exhibition at the New York Hall of Science, plus a
corresponding online exhibition at the ASCI.ORG website.
Deadline for entries: 20 Aug, 2007
Exhibition dates: 29 September 2007 – 21 January 2008
The online exhibition will launch on 29 September, 2007
