Aoife van Linden Tol (IE) takes part in the first artist-residence hosted jointly by Ars Electronica and the European Space Agency (ESA) in the Framework of the European Digital Art & Science Network. The Irish media artist had the extraordinary opportunity to work together with ESA scientists and experience the landing of the Rosetta Space Probe or the ExoMars Mission live on site at the European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC) in Noordwijk, The Netherlands. Following her thrilling sojourn at the ESA, she is spending a couple of weeks in Linz, where the Ars Electronica Futurelab’s staff will provide support as she realizes the project inspired by her visit to the ESA. During the presentation she will share insights in the residency and her work in general.

Star Storm
Ars Electronica Festival 2017: AI /The Other I
7th -11th September 2017
Linz, Austria
Exact Date and Location of Star Storm performance tbc but further information about the festival and festival tickets here.
A spectacular explosive performance describing the processes of the stars. Using research from the ESA about the
composition, life cycle, magnetic behaviour and light production within stars, including our Sun,
Aoife van Linden Tol will design a powerful and beautifully poetic explosive performance.
Using a range of explosive materials, each explosion will represent a specific processes or phenomena taking place,
every moment, in stars all across the universe. Each section of the performance will be be varied and distinct.
Creating a wonderful contrast of energy and experience from exciting to meditative,
from durational to instant, from order to chaos. Reflecting the universe we live in and the discoveries we have made about it.
Star Storm aims to unique and lasting experience which will give audiences insights into the very nature of our universe and their own place within it.

Make Your Mark
Workshop and Participatory Event
European Space Agency, ESTEC, Noordwijk, Netherlands
12th & 16th May 2017
Participants of the workshop will complete exercises and activities that introduce creative and conceptual ideas from Aoife van Linden Tol's artistic practice. The workshop will discuss the concepts of 'making a mark' in the context context of both historical impact of scientific work, of physical cosmic impacts the Universe and how the significance of such events continue reveal themselves over time. The group will choose and prepare documents, papers and print material which they will use to design an artwork which will then be subject to physical impacts during a live event in the Wintergarden the following week.
Using the Making Your Mark concepts ESTEC staff and guests are invited to a participatory event in which they can collaborate in creating a limited edition artwork that they can take home with them. The audience will also witness the artist and attendees of her previously held workshop creating a few larger works. These will be exhibited in the Wintergarden, ESTEC on Thursday 18 and Friday 19 May. This activity will offer ESA employees a peek into the artist's creative practice, as part of the art&science residency organised by ESA in collaboration with Ars Electronica.

Aoife van Linden Tol will kick off the Art+ conference organised by the Frankfurt Bookfair, about my work the ESA residency and my experience later today watching the ExoMars landing. I will be joining a panel with members of the Ars Electronica team as well as ESO Residency winner Quadrature. I am sure I will be buzzing after today, so hopefully I will still make some kind of sense!

INTERNATIONAL SPACE WEEK
3RD - 8TH OCTOBER 2016
IN CONJUNCTION WITH BLACK ROCK OBSERVATORY/PROJECT TARA, CORK, IRELAND
During Space Week a Blackrock Castle Observatory will attempt to take detailed photographs of the moon which will be sent to Aoife van Linden Tol to inspire a new art work. BCO have telescopes located in located in Cork, Ireland & California, USA respectively. Interested in the moons role as a reflector of the Suns light Aoife hopes to incorporate diagrams describing this journey of light from the Sun takes as it travels through space and reflects off the moon to light Earths night sky.

SECOND STORY LINZ
SAT 10TH SEPT 2016
ARS ELECTRONICA: RADICAL ATOMS, LINZ, AUSTRIA.
Aoife van Linden Tol invites the residents of Linz to submit material for the second incarnation of her project Second Story which will take place at Ars Electronica Festival 2016.
The project explores the influence of words and images to create an explosive force within each individual as well as the emotional responses created when presented with literal physical explosions. The universal nature of both these this phenomena inspired Aoife to create a project which allows many people to continue their own dialogue with explosive forces.
First realised in Berlin in 2007 Aoife has long wanted to continue the project in other cities across the world. She hopes to uncover some of the collective and individual emotions and ideas of those living in Linz.
Aoife’s explosions in books and on paper create beautiful and often delicate accents, creating a mark or damaging the piece whilst keeping the integrity of the original object. The objects will not be destroyed completely.
