Adrien Lucca. D65 study #2, equivalences / gradients / disappearances
Het nieuwste werk van voormalig onderzoeker Beeldende Kunst Adrien Lucca, D65 study n°2, ontwikkelt verschillende geometrische objecten die omschreven kunnen worden als ‘visueel constante perpetuele geometrische variaties’. Op een afstand van 10 tot 15 meter heeft elk hierop getekend object dezelfde kleur en graad van helderheid. Dichterbij zie je echter de details en kleuren.
Lucca ontwikkelde voor het eerst een systeem om de hoeveelheid verf te kwantificeren met behulp van hellingshoeken. Hij gebruikte willekeurige getallen om de gekwantificeerde kleuren over grids te verdelen.
D65 is de naam van een standaard lichtapparaat dat direct zonlicht simuleert (witblauw, een beetje zoals Noord-Europees licht) en dat veel in de auto- en kunststofindustrie wordt gebruikt.
Adrien Lucca. D65 study #2, equivalences / gradients / disappearances, 2012
The latest work by former Fine Art researcher Adrien Lucca, D65 study n°2, develops several geometric objects that can be defined as “a visually-constant perpetual geometric variation.” At 10 to 15 meters of distance, every object has the same color and lightness, as you get closer, details and colors appear.
For the first time here Lucca developped a system to quantify the amount of paint using gradients, and used random numbers to distribute the quantified colors into grids.
D65 is the name of an standard illuminant that simulates sunlight (its is whitish-bluish, a bit like the light in north Europe) which is widely used in the car and plastics industry.

Jan van Eyck go shapes - solving pictures
On 8 May, Jan van Eyck go club welcomes a second series of guests. Starting from morphogenesis and the way shapes are generated and constructed by living beings, the talks will tackle the cellular automata studies - especially the Game of Life by John Horton Conway - and the importance of death in modern cell biology (apoptosis). The meeting will try to define the word ‘shape’ in the context of the go game and solve pictures (Tsumego, problems of life and death). Based on this very particular perceptual state that is required for playing the go game, a gestalt for go could be sketched.

The Host - performance by Andros Zins-Browne
”(…) With three cowboys and a gigantic inflatable set, The Host asks what the status of the individual is when his environment can no longer be conquered and controlled, when the individual is weak in comparison to the power of nature to turn against him.” The Host won Andros Zins-Browne the Goethe Institute Award in 2011. The performance, featuring Zins-Browne with Jaime Llopis and Sidney Leoni, is still on tour; go and see it at the Théatre de Gennevilliers (FR) on 11 and 12 May 2012.
