 
URBAN FLASHES III
The exhibition "Urban Flashes III" are bring together of W.A.V.E.by YiLab and Refractive Index(work in progress) by Jamie Allen.
W.A.V.E. by YiLab; Massive invisible artificial waves, including sound wave, light wave, magnetic wave, radiation or cloud (cloud computing), have occupied our living space. They affect the focus of life and the condition of right allotment for urbanites. Henceforth, have their bodies (been) freely penetrated in all aspects of space?
The installation of W.A.V.E. intends to capture the transparent actions and figures in the city. Meanwhile, it marks one floating boundary among those invisible signals, visible human and the crossing urban visions of days and nights.

YiLab, ounded in 2005 by SU Wen-Chi in Taiwan. YiLab. is currently working on integrating new technology with performing arts, and seeking to present new performing formats.
YiLab.'s philosophy is: in a work, there is not just one single director, only concepts that appear similar but actually in conflict with one another; every artist involved is an independent entity who can create their own work, freely put forward different viewpoints and undertake in-depth exploration of the core significance of theme.
SU Wen-Chi, Trained in Taiwan as dancer and afterward in new media art, Wen-Chi has been working between Taiwan and Belgium. Since 2002, she is the core members of the Belgium's Arco Renz / Kobalt Works contemporary dance company, in 2005 she found YiLab. in Taiwan, an experimental group of new media performance. Since 2002 Wen-Chi engages in an ongoing discourse that confront her own artistic and cultural background with her experiences in Europe. Since 2007 her artistic research has shift to combining dance with plastic art and new media art, she created a dance installation "Attention Travaux" (2007), multi-media performances "LOOP ME" (2009) "ReMove Me"(2010) and W.A.V.E. (2011).
CHANG Yung-Ta, is autodidact and residing in Taipei currently. Yung-Ta's works take on a variety of forms such as Audio-Visual, experimental sound, installations and live performances. He composes time-based sculpture with field recording sources and digital generated noise where the exquisite and violent coexist. He tries to combine minimal, ambient and complexities and find the possibility. He is good at making real-time generate Audio-Visual which synchronized and present the detail, high quality video work. In recent years, also collaborated with independent dancers and visual artists. His works has been featured in numerous group shows and festivals throughout Asia, Europe, North and South America.
YEH Ting-Hao,
His work focuses on the relationship between media art and sub-cultures, especially in the field of audio-visual performances. Because of his background in digital animation, he is particularly dedicated to live performances based on Real Time-Processing.
YEH Yen-Po (WHYIX), His work received Digital Art Award - Excellent Selection, Japan , 2009 K. T. Creativity Award - First Prize of Interactive Technology Art, Taiwan and 2009 K. T. Creativity Award - Second Prize of Internet Art Creation Taiwan.
Refractive Index (work in progress) by Jamie Allen launches a multi-city nighttime installation programme for large-scale public digital media displays. In collaboration with London 2012 Creative Programming and the BBC Big Screens programme, and graphics programmers Tom Schofield and David Gauthier, this series of after-dark installation projects for public media facades continues work looking at the way digital media infrastructure changes our view of ourselves. Media systems - particularly as they become increasingly always on and everywhere - are not simply sites of content-delivery. Every pixel we light up, in turn illuminates an environment surrounding it. Screens are dynamic stage-lighting for the pageantry of our cities. Refractive Index treats digital displays as modern-day camera obscura for the digital metropolis. 'What does the screen see?
Jamie Allen's circuitMusic project started as an exercise in radical improvisation - analog oscillators were built from bare circuitry and a breadboard while performing. Since then the live show has turned into a noise-synthesis project where signals from the home-made performance rig are offered to the audience as both audible sound and stroboscopic light. Light and noise are shaped and into drones and pulses of raw static and electricity.
Jamie Allen is a Canadian anow Copenhagen. With circuitMusic, he uses raw circuitry components and a megaphone to experiment with the sonic synthesis of electronic and human noise. "Allen's compositions are streamlined, yet remarkably varied with harsh walls of static, dense drones, and playful rhythms all vying for the listener's headspace."
Urban Flashes is four session exhibitions curated by WANG Chun-Chi,The exhibition series explores the work of four groups of artists who make new
media such as light, sound, new technology and installation. Contemporary
artists play freely with materials and forms. They construct laboratories of
perception, focusing on human perception and the ability to manipulate and
condition it. The artists work with a direct reference to the modern
environment and use its artifacts such as strobe lights and spot lights to create
light spaces situated between sensual experience and scientific experiment.
The spatial and temporal structures are deconstructed by means of projection.
These four works offer an indication of the future of light techniques at the interface of art and cutting-edge technologies: Urban FlashesI: I will be Broken by YAO Chung-Han, Urban FlashesII: Volusonogram by Tim Vets, Urban FlashesIII: W.A.V.E by YiLab and Refractive Index(work in progress) by Jamie Allen, Urban Flashes IV: Lueurs by Emmanuel Madan and Quiet Noise/ Sound Dots by Fujui Wang.
Die Ausstellung "Urban Flashes III" mit den Arbeiten "W.A.V.E." der Künstlergruppe
YiLab und "Refractive Index" von Jamie Allen.
"W.A.V.E." ist eine Installations-Performance von Su Wen-Chi und Chang Yung-Tas Contemporary Dance Company YiLab. Die Arbeit untersucht Existenz und Wandlung in einem zunehmend komplexen städtischen Umfeld – die Veränderung von natürlichen zu künstlichen oder gar entfremdeten Räumen, sowie die sinnliche Erfahrung
sozialer Räume hingehend zu virtuellen Netzwerken. W.A.V.E. interpretiert diese Veränderungen visuell und lädt Zuschauer ein, diese physisch zu erleben. Die Arbeit erhebt sich um die einsame Existenz einer menschlichen Figur innerhalb einer großen Stadt-Matrix, in Form eines virtuellen und interaktiven Netzwerks, das LED-Licht, Ton-Installation.
Die Arbeit "Refractive Index" von Jamie Allen ist ursprünglich eine Multi-City-Nacht-Installationsserie für öffentliche large scale Medien-Displays. Die Installation, die in Zusammenarbeit mit dem London 2012 Creative Programming, dem BBC Big Screens Programme sowie den Grafikprogrammierern Tom Schofield und David Gauthier für öffentliche Medienfassaden entwickelt wurde, wirft einen Blick auf die Art und Weise, wie die Infrastruktur für digitale Medien die Sicht auf uns selbst verändert. Medien-Systeme sind, insbesondere, da sie zunehmend immer und überall präsenter werden, nicht bloß Systeme zur Darstellung von Inhalten. Jeder erleuchtete Pixel erleuchtet wiederum die ihn umgebende Umwelt. Screens sind mittlerweile eine dynamische Bühnen-Beleuchtung für den Prunk unserer Städte. Die Arbeit "Refractive Index" behandelt diese digitalen Displays als moderne Camera obscura für die digitale Metropole.
Urban Flashes ist eine vierteilige Ausstellungsreihe, kuratiert von Wang Chun-Chi. Urban Flashes erforscht die Arbeit von Künstlergruppen, die sich der Technologie, Installationen und Medien wie Licht und Sound widmen. Diese zeitgenössischen Künstler spielen mit Materialien und Formen, und konzentrieren sich auf die menschliche Wahrnehmung und die Tendenz, diese zu manipulieren und konditionieren. Alle Künstler arbeiten mit einem direkten Bezug zur modernen
Umwelt und nutzen deren Artefakte wie Blitzlichter und Scheinwerfer, um Lichträume zwischen sinnlicher Erfahrung und wissenschaftlichem Experiment zu entwerfen.
「城市閃爍 Urban Flashes」系列展覽分別由四個系列以創意思想和新媒體藝術作品來呈現出當代城市。藝術家採用數位聲音、光(燈管)、投影、和其他方式， 以在具體的藝廊空間裡重現，藉由可觸、迷人和感覺來詮釋。這四組藝術家分別有「城市閃爍I：我會壞了-姚仲涵」、「城市閃爍II：Volusonogram -Tim Vents」、「城市閃爍III：城市微幅-一當代舞團、折射率-傑米．艾倫」以及「城市閃爍IV：靜噪&聲點-王福瑞、光-埃馬紐埃爾·馬丹」
「城市閃爍III」這項展覽邀請了台灣ㄧ當代舞團以及旅歐加拿大藝術家傑米．艾倫，作品包括ㄧ件聲音雕塑裝置以及ㄧ件紀錄影片作品分置於三件投影裝置。開幕當天還有二件現場演出作品分別由張永達和葉廷皓以及傑米．艾倫演出。
ㄧ當代舞團的作品「 W.A.V.E. 城市微幅 」聲音雕塑裝置，在展覽中呈現ㄧ座多極距的發光機械矩陣為視覺主要概念，其中每個單位又會隨著電腦程式隨機改變亮度與音頻。此項作品結合舞者蘇文琪以及科技藝術家張永達連同的創意構想。主要概念試圖傳達新媒體工具的發明而大量充斥於生存空間中不可見的人工聲波／光波／磁波／ 輻射或資訊雲，以透明不可觸摸的形態牽引著城市人生活重心與權利分配狀態。它探討我們如何在一個日益複雜的城市環境存在和改造 - 從自然到人工和空間，甚至疏遠，並從社會空間的感官體驗到虛擬網絡。「城市微幅」裝置在此讓觀眾成為參與者，以其身體介入場域融入展覽空間，讓觀者在體驗中形成一種特殊感知。
傑米．艾倫的展覽作品「 Refractive Index (折射率/作品持續進行中) 」在展覽中呈現ㄧ件紀錄影片作品分置於三件投影裝置。此計劃，他推出一個顯示多樣城市的夜間安裝程序的大型多媒體公共藝術裝置。此項計畫與2012年倫敦Creative Programming單位以及BBC電視台Big Screens programme，圖像程式師湯姆．斯科菲爾德和大衛．高蒂爾聯同合作。這項黑夜之後的安裝工程計畫試圖改變ㄧ般我們對於電子媒體看板的認知，藉由這個計畫將藝術展現自實體空間的限制中解放出來。特別是數位媒體系統，因為他們總是無處不在 - 在此計畫呈現的不是簡單交付的訊息內容，而是反過來以每一個像素的光來照亮它周圍的環境。最終呈現如動態舞台般照明了我們城市的壯觀畫面。「 折射率」計畫試圖將大都市中的電子媒體看板轉換如現代日(modern-day) 照相機暗箱，再次讓觀眾在屏幕上看到什麼呢？
