2016 ATAATA Residency Summary Presentation

Event / 15 September 2016

5.30pm
Studio One Toi Tu, 1 Ponsonby Rd.


Join us to hear Grégory Chatonsky and Goliath Dyèvre, members of Augment Institute present a summary of their research during their three month stay at Colab on the Ataata residency programme. Their research creation project Augment Institute investigates imagining a design and art form of augmented reality. AR is not limited to the screen, it also helps to produce new shapes linked to the imagination of the digital.

Grégory Chatonsky is a hyperproductive artist and academic with many exhibitions, qualifications and awards to his name. A pioneer of net art, Chatonsky founded the Incident.net net art platform in 1994. Chatonsky works on the relationship between existence and technology, exploring the underlying structures of everyday technology to create variable and endless fictions. His work often deals with the technological catastrophes facing our culture, previous works have questioned the difference between public and private, real and virtual, fluid and constant, through works that trouble or disorient viewers. Visit Chatonsky’s website to explore his extensive range of work and past projects.

Goliath Dyèvre is an award winning designer based in Paris. He uses 3D printing extensively in his designs, and has even printed replicas of human bones. Dyèvre works with galleries and museums as well as commercial clients including Hermes. He has taught at Beaux Arts in Lyon, and is a regular external examiner at ENSCI, Ecole Boule and the Beaux Arts of St-Etienne. Visit Dyèvre’s website to explore his work and past projects.
