SonarMatica2007: Et Voilà!

SonarMatica shows technology as magic


In a complete about turn, this year SonarMatica focuses on the world of magic, presenting an exhibition based on the Third Law of the famous British writer Arthur C. Clarke – the author of “2001: A Space Odyssey” - which states that “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic”.


Taking this phrase as its starting point, this year SonarMatica becomes a display of installations which will immerse the visitor in an amazing show of illusionism and prestidigitation, as viewed from the possibilities of multimedia art. The search for the audience's astonishment and its immediate applause, using a strategy which dates back to circuses, magic shows and the scientific demonstrations of the late nineteenth century, is the common feature of the installations on display in the exhibition. Some of today's most highly regarded digital artists, such as Masaka Fujihata, Zachary Lieberman, Julian Maire and Takeshi Ishiguro are combining their projects to make Et Voilà! a fascinating experience.

An Advanced Music production. Curated by Jose Luis de Vicente, Oscar Abril Ascaso and Advanced Music.

A project in collaboration with Interactivos? of MediaLabMadrid.
