Looper ou 'Echos'

programmed tool for av performance, XX MINUTOS

YEAR

A brief action few seconds long is performed and recorded in real time. As the performer continues the action, the short recording gets layered with the new sound and image coming in, in a feedback system. The amount of feedback (or, inversely, how quick the sound played 'forgets' the older recordings) is controlled by the performer. The piece is based on a fragment of The Invention of Morel (1940), by Argentinian writer Adolfo Bioy Casares, where the main character interacts with recorded figures.

Performance, XX MINUTOS

2011

the tool Looper/Echos is adapted for this performance situation. The tools does not repeat sound but only image. The performer attempt to complete the projected image, his/her recently captured past, by adding the sounds again live. In the recorded image they clap. When this is reproduced he adds the sound with hammer. When the hammer htting the table is being shown in the screen he/she synchronizes the video-action with another live-gesture, and so on.

Prática minha diária, processo, 'on-going', escrita e forma (desenho, colagem), e a confecção do meio em sí. Como apresentar? ensaio fotográfico? snippets? Funcionaria pra blog/insta. https://uncertain.space

Pensamentos: -no caderno forma e conteúdo são elaborados juntos (diferente de trabalhar na forma usual com especializacao. por ex. do autor◊designer◊impressor; compositor‹›performer) -prática 'pastoral'

Agora também atuação através de workshop de encadernação pra crianças :)

In Return

Video installation, dimensions variable

2012

(End-result of the master)

an artwork that refers to personal and collective narratives about time and fatherhood.

The work explores spatial & monumental qualities of video images when inserted in the space.

through the video, the visitors experience echoes of past actions.

two projectors are used simultaneously, synchronized and projecting 2 different channels of video on the same area.

Graduation project of the master ArtScience 2010-2012 (Interfaculty Royal Academy of Arts The Hague, Royal Conservatorium The Hague, University. of Leiden)

In Some Other Planet

single-channel video, XX MINUTOS

2021

An sort of a/v online post-art. Musician clarinetist Ziv Taubenfeld got inspired by a poem. He started sending a music track including the reading of the poem to another musician, who then added a second track, and so forth. I was the last in the chain and added the video layer. Techniques used for the video are from Goldfish Club.

Code/programming / Animation

On-going research. Way of generating materials, that are later used in live-video-situations (and also in design production.)

Como apresentar? em forma de blog? como os cadernos, são sketches, estudos.

Moiré Research

(ainda tenho que coletar material. fruto de conversas com musico/artista Jochem van Tol que tava procurando moiré no som e na image)

Sound / Music investigation

I started with field recording. (an exercise in listening, getting inspiration from what is right next to me, which for me is a very political-environmental atttude – of not producing more in this saturated world, of acknowlegding the inspiration brought by the other, the one thing next –, as well as spiritual of mindfully slowing down). (Capturing emphasises the role of the tools to determine how we perceive). Parallel to capturing the surroundings, since master art-science (2010) i've investigating programming tools.(Looper/Echos come from then) Since corona, more consistent in practice; also incorporated extra hardware. I have been for years recording snippets, experiments, moments.
in 2022/23 some of these fragments see the light via GFC performances.

Master Art-science

2010-2012 started with investigation of appropriation, inspired historically from brazilian artistic movement and brazilian culture ethos that base on borrowing, stealing.

Further in the process it became about Appropriating internal & external narratives to create performative-audiovisual.

During the master, learned coding to develop a/v tools, explored performances (also solely with human body and without techonlogy). culminated with In-Return video installation.

EXTRAS, MORE DESIGN RELATED, Not sure if i show it...

Design work Não tenho mostrado isso. Não ajuda, acho, a contar essa estoria aqui, de arte/autor/músico. Pragmaticamente o plano agora não é mais ganhar dinheiro com design. Porém faz parte da minha produção passada. E acho que há pontos de interseção com a estória aqui de artista-autor. por exemplo: do design work posso recortar o trabalho com 'code/programming', pegada mais estética, desenho computacional, geometria, interatividade/live, que dialoga com Goldfish Club

2023-12 / Pdok feest: In his studio Pablo Dias investigates images that dance, sounds that touch and electronics that tell stories. For the '25 jaar feest' he will bring his laboratory of old and new audiovisual devices to the Dokzaal, where he will activate the space and dialogue with the musical acts of the evening.

"pablo dias is looking for cracks, glitches, lines and all the other marks that time, weather, digital manipulation, and loving use leave behind." (2013)

In my practice I’m interested in digital discourses that only get complete when using the power of the physical presence and human interaction. For instance, the moment when a beautifully crafted technique finally is put in the real world and is being used by others. Or how certain images are experienced depending on how they are shown.

Pablo Dias é artista e designer audiovisual e vive em Amsterdam. De 2010-12 concluiu o mestrado ArtScience na Royal College of Arts de Haia / Holanda, onde pesquisou a prática da apropriação para (re)criar narrativas coletivas e individuais. Já expôs e palestrou no Brasil e na Holanda (V2, Todaysarts festival, Pecha Kucha Amsterdam, Solar Grandjean de Montigny PUC-Rio)

-

Visual artist with background in design and audiovisual communication, working mainly with video and performance. Based in Amsterdam for five years.

Pablo's work is based on the act of appropriation and translation. He is inspired by the communication potential of the human body, by verbal discourses and by the mystical power of sound.

He uses his sensibility to filter and repurpose a vast collection of references from philosophy to music, from physics to cinema. The results often rely on an aesthetical tenderness, while digging deep personal and collective issues.

Currently he is second-year master student at ArtScience course (Royal Academy of Arts / Royal Conservatorium / Interfaculty – Den Haag). There he researches ways to use video, performance and programming to re-contextualize mythology, the experiencing of time, personal narratives and ritualistic practices.

2017:

i’m artist and designer working with Audio-visual media and Programming

i often work via re-contextualization and translation - i use tools to collect images, actions, texts, and rearrange them

i’m fascinated with body, words, sounds and the technological devices.

I pursue poetics by confronting the technical&precise with the the wet&organic-way through which humans function.

pablo dias is designer and artist,

working with moving images & technology/programming.

for design/communication context

as well as theater/live/music contexts

[ lines of investigation, in art ]

as an artist, he creates often by translating.

that is: bringing one message another medium.

he embraces the act of appropriation without guilt — borrowing existing ideas, works, information and re-arranging them in new ways.

confronts the technical & precise with the the wet & organic-way through which humans function.

-

he creates animations and videos

and uses computer programming & technologies

to apply them to different contexts,

such as:

space

&/or live situations

&/or interactions.

he is interested in how programming creates movement and new forms.

and how can rearrange texts and audiovisual content.

how i can create means to encourage experiences and reflection.

2014 anthony mccall

I am Pablo Dias, a visual artist and designer working mainly with video, performance and programming.

I studied visual communication in Rio de Janeiro - BR (PUC-Rio, 2000-2004)

In 2006 I moved to Amsterdam. While doing design and video assignments and inspired by the dutch scene, I've gradually found my own artistic voice

I am fascinated by the audiovisual, electronic, digital medium. I'm even more fascinated by everyday life and the human body. I try to find poetics in the juxtaposition of the medium with the universe around or inside us.

I manipulate the perception of time, space, speech, and human presence through video, interactive tools and sound.

I combine the audiovisual medium with the live experience.
