- Prototype of an Electromagnetic Fountain - a case study of a work in progress
BEK- Bergen senter for elektronisk kunst inviterer til selvpresentasjon ved Amanda Steggell hvor hun skal presenterere prosjektet The Electromagnetic Fountain
The Electromagnetic Fountain
Every city has its own invisible twin-city – an architecture in flux made up of electromagnetic waves emitted by its numerous electrical facilities, transmitters and receivers. The Electromagnetic Fountain is a small-scale, transportable fountain that responds to these waves to form an ever-changing aquatic choreography. A redundant satellite dish will form its bowl, and it will be equipped with devices for detecting and digitizing man-made electromagnetic activity in its near vicinity. This data is used to control electric water pumps and valves so that the water jumps and drops to evoke the feeling of the incoming data. Underwater lights that also react to this data will be used to illuminate and colour the fountain at night.
My presentation will consist of a case study of this project – the ideas behind it, the process so far, and the challenges that lie in the imminent future.
The prototype for the Electromagnetic Fountain is supported by Arts Council Norway, and ROM3 in partnership with NLI Engineering Industry AS. Project blog: http://ajsteggell.wordpress.com/
Amanda Steggell – Biography
Born in Japan and brought up in England, I have lived and worked in Oslo since 1985. I currently divide my time between working as Asscoiate Professor at KHIB, Department of Fine Art, as co-director of Motherboard, and as a solo artist. I am in principle a dancer and choreographer. I explore the body as it engages with media inventions – and the hopes, dreams and fears that occur in the meeting.
Fresh out of the National College of Ballet and Dance in Oslo, I co-founded the Motherboard project with Per Platou in 1996 to explore the materiality of the net as a mediating and modulating influence in performance and installation works, and in social and sites-specific settings. Our most recent collaboration, “Desert Walker”, was staged on the vast Bonneville Salt Falts in Utah, USA in April this year.
In January 2007 I presented the results of the work I carried out at the Norwegian Theatre Academy (Fredrikstad) as a candidate of the National Programme for Research Fellowships in the Arts. My project “Mind. The Gap” consisted of a practical/theoretical investigation of syneasthetic phenomena, its manifestations in art and science over the centuries, and in relation to contmeporary live art practices. The artistic outcome, the “Emotion Organ”, has since been exhibitted in Norway and abroad. It has also come to define my current solo work – inventing and building machines of, and for the senses, and as instruments of the imagination.
