OMHE presents: ]UNFRAMED[ a close up on ArtScience

Ohme presents ]unframed[ a close up on ArtScience in the framework of Les Garages Numériques Festival 2019

Artists and scientists together for a series of talks, conversations and performances around artistic practice and scientific knowledge

16:00 – 19:00 : ]Unframed[ Talks – Talks on art, science and technology with

• Mathieu Zurstrassen (artist) + Romain Maggiolo, researcher at BIRA – Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy
• Felix Luque (artist)
• Evelina Domnitch & Dmitry Gelfand (artists)

19:00 – 21:00 : ]unframed[ Close up

Stroll around, come closer, be curious. A group of scientists unveil the sciences behind a selection of breathtaking artworks part of the Garages Numériques exhibition.
Starting from the artists’ works, we’ll be talking about neurosciences, quantum physics, holograms, generative coding and northern lights – a programme à la carte designed to bring closer scientific knowledge.
Come with an inquisitive mind, and be ready to be wowed!

With:

• Jean-Marc Sparenberg, Nuclear Physics and Quantum Physics Research Unit, ULB – talking about light, waves and particles on frequencies (light quanta) by Nicolas Bernier
• Athanasia Symeonidou, Electronics and Informatics Department (ETRO), VUB – talking about holography on Holograms by Louise Bourgeois
• Anna Peiffer, Center for Research in Cognition & Neurosciences, ULB – talking about brainwaves on Absicisse by Bots Conspiracy
• Frederik Vanhoutte, Creative Coder, Physics Phd – talking about creative and generative coding on Bosphorus by Refik Anadol
• Romain Maggiolo, researcher at BIRA – Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy talking about northern lights on EOEEIT by Mathieu Zurstrassen

20:00 – 20:50 : Sine – the science of electronic music [in French]

Sine is a participative performance / lecture about the physics of electronic music. Starting from a simple sinus, Sine illustrates, from the perspective of a physicist and of a musician, the way electronic music producers create sounds and compose music.
This performance is the product of an art & science experimental residency between François Gaspard – aka Shakmat Modular– electronics engineer and electronic music composer, and Boris Wilmot, motion graphic designer and digital artist.
Sine is a Ohme and BOZARLab coproduction, with the support of Innoviris – Brussels Institute for Research & Innovation and INFORSCIENCES.

21:00 – 21:30 : Evelina Domnitch & Dmitry Gelfand – FORCE FIELD – performance

Since the 1970s and 80s acoustic levitation techniques have primarily been applied by NASA and ESA to trap and navigate otherwise uncontrollable samples in microgravity. In the last two decades the same methods have also been used as a means of container less manipulation on Earth. Numerous experiments have been performed in a vast spectrum of research areas, including fluid dynamics, analytical chemistry, atmospheric sciences, molecular biology, and most recently tabletop astrophysics.
In Force Field, acoustically levitated water droplets resonate, vaporise and reassemble into spheroids, toroids and oscillating polygons while spinning nearly devoid of shear. The performance simultaneously taps into the 3-dimensionality of sound, the elusive physicality of water, as well as the rotational dynamics of celestial and subatomic bodies.
