ARS ELECTRONICA ARCHIVE - ART & SCIENCE

The basis of the „European Digital Art and Science Network“ is a big manifold network consisting of scientific mentoring institutions (ESA, CERN, ESO and Fraunhofer MEVIS), the Ars Electronica Futurelab and seven European cultural partners (Center for the promotion of science, RS – DIG Gallery, SK – Zaragoza City of Knowledge Foundation, ES – Kapelica Gallery / Kersnikova, SI – GV Art, UK – Laboral, ES – Science Gallery, IE. The EU funded project lasted from 2014 to 2017.
The Online Archive of Ars Electronica provides an overview of the individual activities of the network and also delivers information about the network itself, the residency artists and the involved project partners and the jury.

Artist Residency at ESA 2016/2017 - Aoife van Linden Tol (IE) 2016

Artist Residency at ESA 2016/2017 - Aoife van Linden Tol (IE)

The recipient of the first art&science@ESA residency, is Aoife van Linden Tol. Her winning proposal was selected from 139 submitted projects by an international jury including representatives from ESA, Ars Electronica, and members of the European Digital Art and Science Network.

The Jury meeting was held at Ars Electronica in Linz from 08.07. – 09.07.2016 and the Jury included Gerfried Stocker, Horst Hörtner (both Ars Electronica), Claudia Mignone and Karen O’Flaherty (both representing the European Space Agency), Dobrivoje Lale Eric (Center for the Promotion of Science), Richard Kitta (DIG gallery), Karin Ohlenschläger (LABoral), and Jurij Krpan (Kapelica Gallery). In their statement they gave their reasons:

“Aoife van Linden Tol is a multidisciplinary artist working primarily with explosive media and inspired by different scientific disciplines like chemistry, physics, and cosmology. By using explosions as a creative way to explore not only concepts of time, density, and matter but also deep human emotions, she is able to create beautiful and poetic as well as strong and devastating moments and experiences in art. With her project Star Storm, which tackles the life-cycle of stars and the physical processes of stellar formation and evolution across the Universe, she was able to convince the jury that she is the right artist for this first opportunity of a residency at the ESA’s European Space Research and Technology Centre. What impressed the jury the most was her individual approach in asking and exploring fundamental questions about our Universe”.
