Casa Jasmina
Sedition is the world’s leading online platform for artists to sell their work as digital limited editions for connected screens and devices. The mission of Sedition is to change the art world by introducing a marketplace for collecting and trading art in the digital age.
SEDITION: ART IN THE HOME
Sedition curates a collection of works for the various spaces of the CasaJasmina. From the living room, kitchen, bedroom, children’s room and patio the works suit any kind of domestic space. Displayed on custom-designed iPad frames created by Alessandro Squatrito and Fablab Torino, Sedition presents the future of art in the home.
Artists featured in the exhibition include: Marion Tampon-Lajarriette, Ryan Whittier Hale, Yann Novak, Katie Torn, Claudia Hart, LIA and Shu Lea Cheang.
MARION TAMPON LAJARRIETTE
Déjà Vu 1 & 2
In the Déjà Vu series, Marion Tampon-Lajarriette overlays green-screen footage onto vintage film from the early 20th Century to create a space which is illusory while revealing its own mechanics.
French artist Marion Tampon-Lajarriette (b.1982) explores how the image haunts and alters memory and perception. With the help of digital media she explores the idea of creating or altering memory through imagery.
RYAN WHITTIER HALE
Shifting Landscape
Ryan Whittier Hale depicts a synthetic world that is unpopulated and adrift amidst clouds. The artist questions to what extent we are willing to invest emotionally in these virtual realities.
RYAN WHITTIER HALE
Lone Monolith
By creating a desolate digital landscape Ryan Whittier Hale explores themes of isolation in relation to virtual worlds. Lone Monolith questions what has become of intimacy and emotional connection.
Ryan Whittier Hale (b. 1985) digitally manipulates photography and video, using aesthetics of fantasy and science fiction to question the value of emotional and corporeal investments in virtual worlds
CLAUDIA HART
Rose Throb
Claudia Hart’s sensual rose GIF is a throbbing erotic flower that separates out onto the screen in a delightful and intense dance of green and red/violet petals and leaves against a black background.
Claudia Hart’s multi-media works engage with feminizing the masculinist culture of technology by interjecting emotional subjectivity into what is typically the overly-determined Cartesian world of digital design.
LIA
Not Even Love Will Tear Us Apart
Generated using code, Not Even Love Will Tear Us Apart depicts the ultimate symbol of love, the heart, through continuously evolving shapes that rotate and mirror each other, perpetually converging and diverging.
Austrian artist LIA is considered one of the pioneers of software and net art. Her primary working material is code; the translation process between machine and artist can be viewed like a conversation.
NICOLAS SASSOON & RICK SILVA
Signals Collection
Signals is a series of computer-generated videos which simulate an oily substance reflected on the surface of tranquil water, evoking an oil spill on open waters. The series includes three works: Signal 1, 2 and 3.
Nicolas Sassoon and Rick Silva work with computer processes to generate visions of architecture, landscapes and wilderness. Collaboratively they explore digital depictions and alterations of ‘the natural’.
YANN NOVAK
Stillness.Subtropical
Yann Novak investigates the climate in subtropical Los Angeles and emotional effects upon inhabitants. Stillness.Subtropical is a audiovisual landscape that progressively turns from day into night.
American artist Yann Novak through light, sound and space, explores how intangible materials can act as a catalyst for our understanding of the present moment, and our perception of time.
KATIE TORN
Vacation
Katie Torn’s Vacation is a sculptural “video painting” in perpetual animated flux. Inspired by the work of David Smith, the work combines sculptural and pictorial elements in a virtual 3D environment.
Katie Torn (b.1982) works with effects used in the ad, film, and gaming industries to create hyperreal environments that investigate American consumer culture and its impact on the environment and individual.
SHU LEA CHEANG
Reading
Reading (2014) converts Shu Lea Cheang’s net art piece, Composting The Net (2012), into a scrambled reading experience. A dense layer of text falls from the top of the screen and topples onto a digital landfill.
SHU LEA CHEANG
Typing
Typing is taken from Shu Lea Cheang’s 2012 piece Baby Work, which converts a web interface into a hypermedia work. Sound is randomly played as keys appear and disappear until the keys fill the screen.
SHU LEA CHEANG
Seeding
Seeding mutates the text from an original legal document from the Supreme Court of the United States, involving the infringement of a seed patent; the individual letters from the document dissolve and replicate.
Shu Lea Cheang (b. 1954) is a pioneering figure in internet art. Employing multidisciplinary techniques, her work explores racial relations, ecology, the ethics of biotechnology, and sexual politics.
