artists, working at the energy museum

2007-10-29T19:53:00.000+02:00

The artists started to work at the energy museum in sync with their work in the residency studios. Most of them process the log of their visit to their works. Istanbul takes a noticeable part of their research. Some of them challenges the limitations of the space as a "preserved museum".

Little Buggers of Carlo Crovato are examples of Photovores. Photovore is a light-eater. Any robot that uses light (rather than batteries) as a source of energy. Little Buggers feed off light. They feed and instantly turn their food energy into sound energy. There is no storage system, no battery. So no light means no sound. The sound intensity is dependent on the light intensity.
