卡洛·波拿蒂尼-----视界
纽约：意大利艺术家卡洛·波拿蒂尼在汉诺威广场新摇摆空间展出他的装置展“视界”。以一种独特的光纤维系统，波拿蒂尼创造出了一个移动的幻影的光线网络，这些光线穿越于网状结构的空间里。当观众进入到这个创造性的环境中从内到外地体验它，他们感知的过程会被质询甚至推翻。
“视界”这个题目是受到天文学家关于宇宙空间中黑洞界限的定义的启发而来。这一实物大小的装置由不同直径的、错落安排的并由光纤维连接的钢球组成。球体与光纤维的连接处使得光成为了这一创造性环境中的视觉语言的首要因素。
卡洛·波拿蒂尼1966年生于维特伯，1987年在罗马美术学院获得学位证书。1997年他写了一篇理论性的论文题为《视觉整体的分离》并被出版刊印。2000年和2005年他获得了纽约波洛克海外受赠者奖学金，并于2002年获得塔尔盖提光艺术收藏“白雕塑”奖。他在意大利的许多城市用不锈钢和光纤维创造出和安置了永久性的公共雕塑。他目前在米兰布雷拉美术学院任教，在罗马和米兰生活和工作。
NEW YORK.- Italian artist Carlo Bernardini inaugurates a new Swing Space at 5 Hanover Square with his installation "Event Horizon". Working with a unique system of fiber optics, Bernardini creates a shifting, illusory network of illuminated lines that traverse the space in weblike formations. Viewers' processes of perception are challenged and overturned as they enter the created environment, experiencing it from within and without.
The title of this exhibit "Event Horizon" is inspired by the astronomer's definition of the black holes' boundary line in the cosmic space. Based on Bernardini's previous exhibits up to now, the "permeable spaces" and their inner void, the viewer's processes of perception of the black cosmic space and the "black holes" as "no place", a "point of no return" become part of an experimental visual challenge.
This life size installation consists of steel spheres of different diameter, variously arranged and linked together by optic fibers. The interaction of the spheres and optic fibers allow the light to become the premier element for the visual language of this created environment.
His is a form of creativity that works on the basis of a code of modifications in space reflecting variants produced by light. So much is confirmed by the present research of Carlo Bernardini, who handles light and shade like materials and substances, using electro-luminescent surfaces and optical fibers with internal lighting in a context of total darkness.
In these works with interior and exterior environmental light installations, the optical superimposition of lines traversing a space and lines running along the planes of the same space, viewed from a certain position, can produce two-dimensional visual conditions.
Closing one eye, transforming it into a single lens, the image becomes two-dimensional; as soon as the viewpoint shifts volumetric changes come about, generating mirror image-forms. The first impression is not of the optical fibers themselves, but rather of transparent plates of glass lit up along the sides. The optical fibers only reveal the empty space they enclose in a subsequent phase of perception. The observer can enter into a sort of illusory space, experiencing the installation from within and without.
Carlo Bernardini was born in Viterbo in 1966 and obtained his diploma at the Fine Arts Academy in Rome in 1987. In 1997 he wrote the theoretical essay on "The division of visual unity", which was published by Stampa Alternativa. In 2000 and 2005 he received a grant "Overseas Grantee" from the Pollock - Krasner Foundation of New York, and in 2002 the prize Targetti Art Light Collection “White Sculpture”.
He has created and installed permanent public sculptures in stainless steel and optic fibres in various Italian cities. He currently teaches at the Fine Arts Academy of “Brera” in Milan. He lives and works both in Rome and Milan.
