CORE Labs attended the last edition of the China International Gallery Exhibition (CIGE 2010), held at the China World Exhibition Hall in Beijing at the end of April 2010. CORE’s was the only digital showroom at the fair; our aim was to inform about the new-media languages we work with. Not widely known among the public, it seemed surprised when discovering and interacting with our works, so different from the rest of the galleries.
We gave out information leaflets and free merchandising material. Besides, we showed some of the works that CORE is currently developing, such as Minimal Networked Living Structures, a project that deepens the sense of space and connections between its elements. It also explores the organic side of digital art by simulating the expansion of a system network. The images were thrown over methacrylate, where audience could interfere autonomously with the artwork.
There was, as well, a live demonstration of augmented reality, where the audience could learn the way this technology works by showing CORE’s logo to the web-cams. Besides, a selection of video art was displayed on big screen. The audience could watch some of the video works, in collaboration with the netlabel Audiovisual Theorem, a platform established in Spain that works on promoting new talents and emergent projects.
All these pieces were asembled to create an exhibition where music and visual arts were combined as a new means of artistic expression.
2010年四月底，CORE参加了在北京中国国际贸易中心展厅举办的中艺博国际画廊博览会（CIGE 2010）。CORE的展厅是博览会中唯一的数码展厅；我们的目标是让大家了解我们工作所用的新媒体语言。由于还不为大众所熟悉，在发现和与我们的作品互动的过程中，大家似乎感到十分新奇，我们与其他的画廊是如此不同。
CORE发放了宣传单及免费的商业计划材料。此外，我们还展示了一些CORE正在进行的工作，比如“最小网络化生命结构”，这个项目深入研究了空间的概念和其各元素之间的链接。通过模仿一个系统网络的扩张，作品还探索了数字艺术有机的一面。
同时，我们有一个关于“增强现实”的现场演示。在网络摄像头前展示CORE的标志，观众就可以了解到这种科技是如何工作的。此外，大屏幕上还展示了一组影像艺术。观众可以运用网络标签视听理论来看到一些影像作品，一个在西班牙建立的平台正致力于促进新秀和新兴项目。
我们集合了所有的元素来打造了一次把音乐和视觉艺术的混合作为艺术表达新手段的展览。
