Leonardo-@rt Outsiders 2003 New Horizons Prize
„Prix Leonardo-@rt Outsiders / Nouveaux Horizons 2003‰
awarded to Ewen Chardronnet and art collective on OPEN SKY project
San Francisco based Leonardo/The International Society for the Arts, Sciences and Technology (ISAST) and the Paris based @rt Outsiders Festival are pleased to announce that the Leonardo-@rt Outsiders 2003 New Horizons Prize has been awarded to Ewen Chardronnet and associated arts collective for the work OPEN SKY. The jury particularly noted the innovation of the work of the Acoustic Space Lab network and the art groups federated around the OPEN SKY project: Rasa Smite, Martins Ratniks, Raitis Smits, Radioqualia, and Makrolab coordinated by Marko Peljhan.
OPEN SKY is an installation by Ewen Chardronnet based on the conversion of the Soviet-era radio-telescope RT32 of Irbene in Latvia in the context of the ongoing research projects of the Acoustic Space Lab collective. The RT32 is a 32-meter former espionage antenna converted to radio-astronomy and fundamental science. Since 2001, artists, radio amateurs, and scientists have worked together to explore the tactical and artistic possibilities of the dish. For more information, go to http://acoustic.space.re-lab.net/ or contact Mr. Chardronnet at ewen@tiscali.fr.
The jury also awarded a special mention to the installation „FILE /AIR: The Ambiguity of Limits‰ by Kitsou Dubois and Eric Duranteau. The installation translates documentation of the work of Kitsou Dubois in zero gravity parabolic flight with powerful poetic and sensory impact. Additional information on the work of Kitsou Dubois, who is also a previous Leonardo New Horizons award winner, can be found at http://www.spacearts.info.
