by Joshua Allen Harris

Dan Steinhilber works with all kinds of everyday materials and objects like trash-bags, bottles or paper-cloth-hangers. He uses them as modules or media to create abstract organic sculptures.
Street artist Joshua Allen Harris even brings his creatures made of garbage bags and tape to life.
He tapes them to a sidewalk grate and every time the subway passes the underground exhaust inflats and animates the sculpture that first just looked like ordinary trash on the street.

Paper sculpturing has become commonplace in contemporary visual culture. Paper is not only seen as planar two-dimensional canvas any more to write, print or draw on. It rather becomes an affordable and multi-functional material for uses such as building miniature models to sculpture surfaces and large scale objects. Artists using paper as their favorite medium come from very different fields. Swoon is part of an international street art scene but also gets featured in various galleries. On the street the decay of the material becomes part of the artwork what is not given in the gallery though. So location influences the aesthetics of her work.
In Thomas Demands photographic work, paper and location play a very different role. He uses paper to build exact models of locations that were specific happenings once took place. Lightning and perspective let the photographs look almost like reality.
The examples of Andreas Fischer and Martin Fuchs applied digital production methods and used data input to create specific shapes. Thus paper sculpture becomes a kind of physical representation of information graphs or mathematical calculation.

Robert Lang talks about Origami as art-form or form of sculpture which has been around for hundreds of years but totally changed it’s face once combined with mathematics. The mathematic rules of modern Origami however could be defined in simple four laws: The two colorability, at any interior vertex the ‘mountain-’ and ‘valley-folds’ always differ two, angles around a vertex sum up to a straight line and a sheet can never penetrate a fold (no self-intersection at overlaps).
These rules are as simple as an computer could understand them what makes Origami a mean of digital production, rapid prototyping and simulation not only in areas like science and technology.
To enable a kind of origami on demand Robert Lang developed ‘treemaker’ - a program to generate crease patterns after a given definition of a stick-figure-like version of one’s design. The basic principal of a crease pattern is to create as many flaps as needed for the final object so what ‘treemaker’ mainly does is to calculate and output the packing of circles on the sheet.

Jenny Holzer’s medium is writing. Wheather it is street posters, LED, projections or everyday objects like T-shirts or cups.
The artist’s writings are truisms, sayings, various statements appearing as poetry-like phrases. But Holzer clearly distinguishes her art from poetry or literature in general because ‘it has to do with the demands of the medium on which I place it.’ By applying media that is commonly used in advertising she found a way to communicate explicit statements about society in a minimalistic manner and to question how those media affect information.
With Xenon light she is also able to create large environmental projections on buildings or landscapes.
Until New Year 2009 the Guggenheim in New York as well features Jenny Holzer’s work on the outstanding facade of the museum.

An example of her usage of online media is ‘please change believes’ where you can edit and contribute truisms. adaweb.walkerart.org/project/holzer/cgi/pcb.cgi

Robotlab uses robots to draw or write in the way of a human hand. The installation ‘bios [bible]‘ basically contains of an industrial robot equipped with a stylus and a number of paper scrolls. The robot writes down the bible’s text in a calligraphic script akin to those monks originally used to apply. He does this with immense precision throughout seven months to continue all 66 books.
The project is to reflect the link between Religion and Rationalism in which the Script had always played a special role. Further is explained that the very first script on a computer in the basic input output system (bios) means the origin for every function of the computer later on.

The neon alphabet on the top is an installation by Fiona Banner titled ‘every word unmade’. The impression of stuttered words is stressed by the unprofessional manufacturing: The letters clearly depict the artists struggle to control the media - the glass as well as the language.
Banner about her work: ‘I was thinking about a kind of unmaking of language. as if you could make every word, or story imaginable, from these 26 letters. All the potential is there, but none of the words.’

YWD contains of kinetic typographic sculpures made of wood, metal, fluorescent lights and electronics.
In certain moments the automated formation of the lights result the words ‘You’ ‘Will’ ‘Die’. Video on robseward.com/documentation/ywd
