Solimán López
Solimán López (1981, Burgos, Spain) is a contemporary conceptual artist and art historian specialized in digital art and new technologies.[1][2][3][4]
In 2015, he found the Harddiskmuseum[5] a museum of contemporary art in a hard drive that archives 150 international digital artworks including those of John Sanborn, Gregory Chatonsky, Enrique Radigales, María Cañas, Jonathan Monaghan, Claudia Hart, Pia_Myrvold.
Solimán López run the "Innovation and Development" department at the Escuela Superior de Arte y Tecnología (ESAT) in Valencia, Spain and the studio UAS in Paris.
Selected work[edit]
Solimán López produces polymorphic pieces related to the social world that interacts with technology. He mainly uses new media and innovation as raw materials.
Harddiskmuseum[6][7][edit]
Conceived as a tribute to the digital files that are the essence of new media, Solimán's Harddiskmuseum questions architecture as synonymous with culture. Represented in a 2 Terabyte Western Digital Black Caviar hard disk, the museum universe dedicated solely to digital arts will take shape in 2015 at ESAT, Escuela Superior de Arte y Tecnología de Valencia. It attempts to draw a confused line between the figure of the artist, the museum, cultural budgets, a knowledge society, memory, the star system of art and to combine new models of exhibition, cooperative, creative and generating ideas and reflection.
The museum was exhibited for the first time at the Punto de Valencia gallery in the group exhibition ANTS[8] with Hugo Martinez-Tormo, bosch & simons, Antonio Orts, Rafael Lozano Hemmer and Enrique Radigales.
The Harddiskmuseum is exhibited in live sessions such as in Arts Santa Monica in Barcelona (curated by Roberta Bosco[9]) registering its different variants from performance to virtual reality until its 10th edition. The latter presents a new 3D interface that can be visited online and whose inauguration took place at the EP7, in 2019 in Paris. This intangible museum is also the theme of Solimán's presentation for TEDx[5] Valladolid in 2015, which mixes reflection on archiving and artistic performance.
GRID[10][edit]
The work GRID is an immersive visual and sound self-generating installation that constructs an audiovisual symphony in real time thanks to the WIFI signal from nearby mobile devices. The piece investigates the concept of the ubiquity of frequencies, the usurpation of personal data and reification.
The immersive installation was unveiled for the first time at Place de la Bourse in Paris, during the 2019 Nuit-Blanche, and was later installed at the Gerano Perez[11] Museum in Cordoba, Argentina, and at the Parque de Espana Cultural Center in Rosario, Argentina, during a monumental solo show "Presencia " [12]where Solimán presented two immersive installations: GRID and High Meshes.
High Meshes[13][14][edit]
High Meshes is the creation of a micro community of real people scanned in 3D by photogrammetry. This information constitutes a database that feeds an artificial intelligence software. The latter gathers the bodies according to their purely digital information without taking into account racial, sexual, religious, political or cultural issues.
This work has been exhibited at the CCCC - Cultural Center of Contemporary Art del Carme in Valencia, Spain, at the festival Barcú[15][16] in Bogotá, Colombia and by the Ellia Art Gallery in Paris, France.
Celeste[17][18][19][20][edit]
Solimán Lopez gathers the skies of different cities around the world and displays the colorimetric variations of these unions.
Thanks to an equipped beacon, the system extracts the colors obtained and combines them in a digital interface that can be visited at celeste.solimanlopez.com.
During the night, in any of the locations, the system goes into "sleep" mode, accessing a database of images of ideal skies mixed with color alterations.
Celeste is installed in several contemporary art centers such as Véles e Vents in Valencia, Spain, La Lonja Alicante[21][22] Spain, the Scan Room[23] in London, UK and Mi Gallery in Paris.
