Daniel Canogar: screens invade us.

4:00 a.m.

03/16/17 - According to Spanish artist Daniel Canogar (1964) our way of relating with the screens has changed. From small gadgets in our wrists to gigantic screens wrapping entire buildings with ads, we are surrounded by flickering and shining surfaces. Screens seem to be our new skin, a type of membrane that covers objects and human beings. With this in mind, Canogar created a series of sinuous works with flexible LED lights. The electric wires are visible, because they represent the very insides of the objects, their core.
What do these screens show? Abstract animations, generated by algorithms which, in real time, react to earthquakes, fires, or atmospheric pollution.
Basin, by Daniel Canogar
The animation reacts in real-time to precipitation in 195 capital cities recognized by the UN. 
Troposphere, by Daniel Canogar
The animation reacts in real-time to air pollution data of one city - in this case, Washington D.C.
Latitude, by Daniel Canogar
The animation in the upper screen accelerates its rhythm when temperatures in the coldest city in the world (Verkhoyansk, Siberia) lower.
The bottom screen accelerates its rhythm when temperatures in the hottest city in the world (Kuwait) increase.
Gust, by Daniel Canogar
The generative animation reacts in real-time to direction and intensity of wind in one city: in this case, Madrid.
