MAOTIK X Carnovsky
MAOTIK，是法籍著名的新媒体艺术家。从他以往作品中可得知，MAOTIK青睐于沉浸式的多媒体艺术体验，以及超乎寻常的视觉冲击。他曾是Moment Factory团队负责人，创作了许多大型装置艺术：洛杉矶机场新航站楼装置、摇滚乐队世界巡回演出舞台设计等。作品在世界各地均有展出，并在日内瓦、莫斯科、秘鲁、马德里等地讲学，知名度极高。目前与音乐家、科学家等合作，进一步探索艺术、科学与技术之间的结合。
MAOTIK is a renowned French new media artist. As seen in his previous works, MAOTIK has a strong interest in immersive multimedia art experiences and extraordinary visual impact. He was formerly a team lead at Moment Factory, where he created numerous large-scale installation projects, including installations for the new terminal at Los Angeles International Airport and stage designs for rock bands’ world tours.
His works have been exhibited around the world, and he has given lectures in Geneva, Moscow, Peru, Madrid, and other locations, earning him wide recognition. He is currently collaborating with musicians, scientists, and other practitioners to further explore the intersections between art, science, and technology.

“当成千上万只的萤火虫在你眼前挥动着翅膀、闪烁着荧光，才发觉夏夜也能如此温柔！”
艺术家MAOTIK和Etienne Paquette共同创造了一种诗意的，多媒体表现形式的夏夜风景，让萤火虫与观众们来了次近距离的“对话”，声临其境的场景展示出的原始自然生态系统。
MAOTIK通过给灯泡注入含有亮粉的汤力水和植物枝蔓形状的金属杆来营造有机环境，除此之外他还特别使用了夹杂着昆虫噪音的自然背景音，充分展现了一个大自然的生态系统，让参观者像身临其境般置身于大群萤火虫之间，并在与灯光交互的过程中有一种真正的参与感。
蓝色的灯光幽静又璀璨，当你把双手放在木质互动台上移动，它也会随着你手指的轨迹游走于大自然间，像是彼此间心照不宣的打招呼方式，你的小心思它都懂~MAOTIK建立了一个沉浸式的环境，打造了一个雕塑互动装置的空间，同时也巧妙地呈现了科技与工艺的巧妙融合。
名字很唯美，但在艺术装置的实际操作过程中面临众多困难。MAOTIK通过使用激光交互功能，为观众打开一朵朵娇艳欲滴的花朵。而观众可以根据即兴的动作姿势和声音组合创作出属于自己的作品。作品运用了参数化声音和视觉体系结构方法来构建，是一场别出心裁的创意之旅没错了。
观众可以直接与数字世界沟通，使用他们的手部运动创建灯光和抽象视觉效果。探索了人体运动实践，以促进运动表达和交流的方式。
“When thousands upon thousands of fireflies flutter their wings before your eyes, glowing and shimmering, you realise that a summer night can be this gentle.”
Artists MAOTIK and Etienne Paquette jointly created a poetic summer-night landscape through multimedia expression, allowing the fireflies to engage in an intimate “dialogue” with the audience. The immersive scene evokes a primordial natural ecosystem.
MAOTIK constructs an organic environment by filling light bulbs with tonic water containing luminous powder and using metal rods shaped like plant branches and vines. In addition, he incorporates natural background sounds mixed with insect noises, fully presenting the atmosphere of an ecological system. Visitors are made to feel as though they are surrounded by swarms of fireflies, gaining a genuine sense of participation through their interaction with the lights.
The blue light is quiet yet dazzling. When you place your hands on the wooden interactive table and move them, the light follows the traces of your fingers through the natural environment, as if responding through a tacit greeting — it seems to understand even your smallest thoughts. MAOTIK creates an immersive environment and a sculptural interactive installation space, while also subtly demonstrating the fusion of technology and craft.
Although the title is poetic, the practical realisation of the installation involved numerous challenges. Through laser-based interaction, MAOTIK allows viewers to open vivid, blossoming flowers one by one. Audiences can also create their own works through improvised gestures, movements, and combinations of sound. Built through a parametric system of sound and visual architecture, the work offers a truly inventive creative journey.
Visitors can communicate directly with the digital world, using the movements of their hands to generate lights and abstract visual effects. The work explores the practice of bodily movement as a way to encourage physical expression and communication.

Flow的呈现完全是因为MAOTIK受大海波浪的启发，那种热烈地、放肆地、无畏地流动，完美诠释着艺术家们不甘平凡的心态。而MAOTIK也巧妙融合了多媒体环境，为观众带来了一场充满诗意、趣味的感官体验。
数据的上升和下降都是在模仿海平面起伏的形态，作品使用8个不同的1080p高清、立体星系NH12投影仪进行投影，在墙面和地面上投影下16X9米的图像，创作出一个巨大空旷的视觉环境，提升观众的物理空间感知。而这些数据则受温度、湿度、观众位置，以及潮汐的影响。
呈现的“海平面”逐渐变化，试图将观众置身一个虚拟的宇宙中。而在这里的抽象可以满足每个人的白日梦。所有的内容都被实时设计，类似于在自然界中定义了一系列的随机创建过程的系统，声音设计将视觉景观转化成一种声音体验，带领观众到环境的中心去感受微妙的变幻。整体作品旨在创建一个拥有随机创造过程的系统，由一系列大自然数据来对该系统进行设置，最后一切都交给大自然操控。
Flow is presented as a work entirely inspired by MAOTIK’s fascination with the movement of ocean waves — that passionate, unrestrained, fearless flow, which perfectly embodies the artists’ refusal to be ordinary. MAOTIK also cleverly integrates a multimedia environment, offering the audience a sensory experience that is both poetic and playful.
The rise and fall of the data simulate the undulating movement of the sea surface. The work is projected using eight different 1080p HD stereoscopic galaxy NH12 projectors, casting a 16 × 9 metre image across the walls and floor to create a vast, open visual environment that enhances the audience’s perception of physical space. These data are influenced by temperature, humidity, the positions of viewers, and the tides.
The “sea level” on display changes gradually, attempting to place the audience within a virtual universe. Here, abstraction leaves room for everyone’s daydreams. All content is generated in real time, much like a system in nature defined by a series of random generative processes. The sound design transforms the visual landscape into an auditory experience, guiding viewers toward the centre of the environment to sense its subtle shifts. Overall, the work aims to create a system driven by random generative processes, configured by a range of natural data, with ultimate control left to nature itself.
Carnovsky
Carnovsky是一个活跃于米兰的设计艺术二人组，成立于2007年，由Silvia Quintanilla（哥伦比亚，1979）和Francesco Rugi（意大利，1977）组成。Carnovsky最广为人知的项目是“红绿蓝幻彩景观”。继首次推出于2010年后，在意大利国内外都有持续的延展，在不计其数的国际展览中展出，并在媒体和公众中获得了相当程度的认可。
Carnovsky is a Milan-based design and art duo founded in 2007 by Silvia Quintanilla (Colombia, 1979) and Francesco Rugi (Italy, 1977). Carnovsky is best known for its RGB Fabulous Landscapes project. Since its first presentation in 2010, the project has continued to evolve both in Italy and internationally, and has been shown in numerous international exhibitions, receiving considerable recognition from the media and the public.

Carnovsky的“红绿蓝幻彩景观”是一个持续进行中的项目，试验印刷色和光源色之间的相互作用。这些由三种不同颜色叠印出来的图像给人感觉绝对意外，带有一些迷幻感。色彩、线条、形状之间的混搭、盘绕，呈现出一种梦幻、模糊的意境。如果透过滤色片（或灯光，又或是透明材料）是可以清晰地看到静态图层中的各种颜色的全图以及各个线条的走向。过滤器的颜色是红色，绿色和蓝色，它们中的每一个都用来显示三层中的一层。
Carnovsky’s RGB Fabulous Landscapes is an ongoing project that experiments with the interaction between print colours and coloured light. These images, created through the superimposition of three different colours, produce a strikingly unexpected and slightly psychedelic effect. The interweaving and layering of colours, lines, and shapes create a dreamlike and blurred atmosphere.
When viewed through colour filters — or through coloured light, or transparent materials — the full composition of each colour layer within the static image, as well as the direction of its individual lines, can be seen clearly. The filter colours are red, green, and blue, and each of them reveals one of the three layers.
Carnovsky与Diptyque的跨家合作同样结合了RGB（三原色）艺术形式，演绎梦幻的自然图案，呈现出三原色滤镜下的“自然艺术”，在视觉上非常有冲击力。采用摩登的艺术形式，刻画了一个金苹果园的故事，趣味性十足。
Carnovsky以迷幻、跃动而又充满激情的画作将这无与伦比的伊甸园呈现地恰到好处，分别以三种不同的颜色在墙上绘出不同的原色与场景，再利用不同颜色的滤光片将各种颜色的光线投射到墙上，呈现出不同的“壁纸”图案。用三层滤镜来看每一个作品，观众会看到不同的花纹和图层,真的是视觉、嗅觉结合在一起的双重享受。
Carnovsky’s collaboration with Diptyque likewise incorporates the RGB (primary-colour) artistic approach, interpreting fantastical natural motifs and presenting a form of “nature as art” through primary-colour filters, with a striking visual impact. Using a modern artistic language, the project tells the story of a golden orchard in a highly playful and engaging way.
Through psychedelic, dynamic, and passionate imagery, Carnovsky brings this unparalleled Eden vividly to life. Different primary colours and scenes are painted onto the wall in three separate colour layers, and coloured filters are then used to project different hues of light onto the surface, revealing different “wallpaper” patterns. When each work is viewed through the three filter layers, the audience sees different motifs and layers emerge — making it a true dual pleasure that combines visual and olfactory experience.
