NAVE O. Art, technology, light and concept. Yesterday evening we were at the opening of the new art exhibition at the Matadero in Madrid. Under the title ‘It from bit’ it consists of five works by the Madrid artist Efren Mur, who currently lives in Berlin. An interactive performance that invites visitors to play with their own movement, as the lights themselves are activated by sensors according to our own body activation. A spectacle of software programming and hardware design.

EFRÉN MUR

“IT IS FROM BIT. Es una exposición del artista digital Efrén Mur donde se exploran las posibilidades sinérgicas del impacto entre lo individual y lo colectivo del ser humano dentro del campo del New Media Art.

A través de la tecnología, la Nave 0 se convierte en un espacio multisensonrial gracias a la combinación de luz, sonido y movimiento. La exposición, compuesta de cinco obras individuales (Continuum, Mirror of the Mind, Laguna Piedra, Dualidad y Futura A1E5) creadas en colaboración con diversos artistas internacionales, así como una instalación interactiva en tiempo real que recibe el mismo nombre de la exposición, reflexiona sobre las relaciones posible entre los seres humanos en el marco individuo, colectivo, así como el mismo espacio – tiempo que habitamos. Un viaje sensorial en constante retroalimentación que pone en valor los ciclos introspectivos personales y su correlación con la memoria colectiva.”

Simultaneously, all these digital pieces coexist with interactive  installation located at the central area. Title the same as the exhibition, this real – time installation has been creation created to reflect the possible relations between the individual and the collective within, the same space-time we inhabit. A sensorial journey in constant motion that highlights the value of personal introspection cycles and their correlation with the collective consciousness.”
