DESCRIPTION:Sarah Oppenheimer\, artist in residence at EPFL\nSarah Oppenhe
 imer is an architectural manipulator. She creates circulatory pathways tha
 t establish unexpected kinesthetic and visual relays between bodies and bu
 ildings. Gestural manipulation of interwoven instruments alters the contou
 rs of surrounding architecture. Rhythms and timescales of living systems f
 low from body to building and back again. The viewer is transformed into a
 n agent of spatial change.\n \n\n	Sarah Oppenheimer\, N-03X67\, 2024\n	Co
 mmissioned and produced in the framework of EPFL - CDH Artist in Residency
  Program 2023\, Enter the Hyper-Scientific.\n	 \n	Opening: Thursday Janua
 ry 18th 2024\, at 6 p.m.\n	In the presence of the artist and followed by a
 n aperitif.\n	 \n	Partners:\n	EPFL Laboratory of Intelligent Systems (LIS
 )\n	EPFL Laboratory of Integrated Performance in Design (LIPID)\n	With the
  kind support of sedak GmbH & Co. KG.\n	 \n	Curator: Giulia Bini\n\n\nBui
 ldings are intelligent systems. As living cells\, their boundaries mediate
  flow. N-03X67 is a kinetic network intertwined within this existing metab
 olic relay. Sited along EPFL Pavilions’ glass façade\, seven elongated 
 pneumatic instruments subdivide the glass wall.\n\nInterwoven within and b
 etween existing façade mullions\, pathways are set in motion by human tou
 ch. An architectural array tips and turns in response to human action: sli
 ding a horizontal bar tilts its vertical counterpart. Operating at atmosph
 eric pressure and activated by touch\, human energy extends across archite
 ctural surface.\n\nLinked by air\, N-03X67 is a pneumatic network composed
  of actuators\, cylinders\, valves and dampers. Sliding an instrument dire
 cts airflow along a set of circulatory pathways\, creating loops of cause 
 and effect. Air is routed and re-routed. Code to determine routing between
  actuators has evolved in collaboration with the Laboratory of Intelligent
  Systems. Informed by their research into neural networks and learning alg
 orithms\, N-03X67 is a material manifestation of an energetic circuit.\n\n
 An intimate\, tactile energy radiates across the museum’s boundary\, re-
 shaping the contours of a public sphere. Sensory encounters blur the bound
 aries between public and private\, interior and exterior\, exhibition spac
 e and landscape.          \n\nOppenheimer’s recent solo exhibit
 ions include Sensitive Machine (Wellin Museum of Art\, USA 2021)\, N-01 (K
 unstmu-seum Thun\, Switzerland 2020)\, S-337473 (Mass MoCA\, USA 2019)\, S
 -337473 (Wexner Center for the Arts\, USA 2017)\, S-281913 (Pérez Art Mus
 eum Miami\, USA 2016)\, S-399390 (MUDAM Luxembourg 2016) and 33-D (Kunstha
 us Baselland\, Switzerland 2014). Oppenheimer’s work has also been exhib
 ited at ZKM\, the Baltimore Museum\, the Andy Warhol Museum\, the Museum o
 f Contemporary Art San Diego\, Art Unlimited at Art Basel\, the Mattress F
 actory\, the Drawing Center\, and the Sculpture Center.\n> Sarah Oppenheim

 ed by the EPFL College of Humanities (CDH)\, amplified by EPFL Pavilions\,
  and in partnership with the City of Lausanne\, the EPFL-CDH Artist-in-Res
 idence (AiR) Program Enter the Hyper-Scientific reflects the CDH mission o
 f fostering transdisciplinary encounters and collaborations between artist
 s and EPFL’s scientific community. The program invites professional Swis
 s and international artists for three-month residencies to realize innovat
 ive and visionary projects at the intersection of art\, science\, and adva
 nced technologies.
