Appearing at the Tent London showcase during London Design Festival, Remastered offers one more opportunity for the public to go back in time as Intel re-tells the stories of some of the most iconic art masterpieces from history using digital technology. The exhibition presents an artists inspiration in an electrifying creative expose that truly brings to life Intels Visibly Smart campaign.
The project which kicked off to critical acclaim with a popular private view and three day long exhibition at Londons One Marylebone in March, sees Intel once again collaborate with curatorial partner jotta. Joining Intels homage to art that has defined culture, Central St Martins conceptual artist Maxence Parache becomes the latest Remastered artist. Reinterpreting Matisses Dance, he combines 2nd Generation Intel CoreTM processor technology with an interactive particle cloud projection for an immersive visual experience. He commented on the piece: Sourcing inspiration from Matisses hypnotic painting, Dance II, my aim is to invite the viewer to enter an immersive and dreamlike experience where one can interact with the circle of dancers. I have taken influence from Fauvism and have explored this through physical computing, capturing the wild and intense primeval atmosphere of Dance II.
Matisses piece completes a dynamic exhibition that considers work from masters including Picasso, Van Gogh, Dali and da Vinci. Working with some of the best in emerging artistic talent in the UK has been a truly inspirational journey for Intel, said Gail Hanlon, marketing director, Intel UK and Ireland. The Remastered project has allowed Intel to unlock the creative potential of technology and show that a mouse can be as effective as a paintbrush in design. We hope our technology can be a muse for the next generation of artists and help shape art in the digital age.
Ben James, Creative Director, jotta said: Remastered helps demonstrate practically and conceptually how technology is being adopted by artists and designers across all disciplines with a broad range of outcomes. We’re hugely excited by Remastered at London Design Festival which provides the opportunity to recontextualise and build on the project in one of the world’s most innovative design environments, Tent London.
Ben Evans, Festival Director, London Design Festival added: This years Festival will demonstrate the power and versatility of design across London; offering a series of quality projects that fulfill Londons design credentials.
