Nuage Vert wins Ars Electronica Golden Nica and 01SJ Green Prix for Environmental Art
Monday, 23 June 2008 Written by Juha Huuskonen
Nuage Vert has been awarded the Ars Electronica Golden Nica in the ‘Hybrid Art’ category!
Ars Electronica jury gave the statement about the work: « Pollstream – Nuage Vert transforms clouds into projection surfaces. As such, these indefinable, constantly and chaotically changing products of the condensation of water vapor become media bearing political ideas and messages. Or aestheticized symbols of environmental pollution caused by carbon emissions. Pollstream – Nuage Vert was developed in collaboration with experts in laser technology, computer science, electrical engineering, energy generation and air quality monitoring. Development commenced in 2002 and concluded in February 2008 with a performance in Helsinki that impressively demonstrated how art is capable of encompassing an entire city—its public sphere, its industry and its inhabitants—and unfolding sociopolitical relevance. Pollstream – Nuage Vert is the recipient of the 2008 Golden Nica in the Hybrid Art category. »
In May 2008, Nuage Vert was also awarded the 01SJ Green Prix for Environmental Art at the second edition of 01SJ Festival in San Jose, US
