Combinando ciencia, tecnología y psicología, Tempest realiza trucos sorprendentes en dispositivos electrónicos que dejan impactado al público de La Ciudad de las Ideas. Marco Tempest es un ciber ilusionista, que combina la magia y la tecnología para producir ilusiones sorprendentes. Comenzó su carrera artística como un mago de escenario y manipulador, ganando muchos premios y estableciendo una reputación internacional como uno de los artistas más singulares del mundo. Su interés por las imágenes generadas por computadora lo llevó a la incorporación de video y de tecnología digital en su trabajo, y el desarrollo de una nueva forma de ilusión contemporánea.

We examine this issue obliquely from the various perspectives of four speakers—an artist, an educator, a neuroscientist, and an illusionist—as well as oursalon audience.
Watch the videos from the salon and explore some of these questions: Are we experiencing a crisis in our ability to focus, or just an evolution of the natural skill sets required for the contemporary world? Must focus be jump-started from the outside in the contemporary museum experience? How can the viewer retain a sense of agency and freedom in their approach to a work of art?

A cross-generational vehicle presentation, which makes history: 20 different models from every T series to date appear on stage. Flying in onto the screens come photos of contemporary witnesses, celebrities and events from the decades. Music from these vehicle eras fills the air. The final vehicle to appear is the pigeon blue ‘Sofie’ panel van (from 1950), the most valuable and oldest ‘Bulli’ in the possession of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles Classic Cars. A fascinating story begins, told – ranging from the start of the vehicle’s production up to the present day of the T series – in gripping fashion by Marco Tempest, probably the world’s best ‘storyteller’. He also impressively describes why this Transporter presentation is taking place in Amsterdam: it is a homage to Dutch Volkswagen importer Ben Pon. For it is said that with a notepad sketch of the van in 1947 the car dealer gave a key impetus for the vehicle’s creation. Shortly after this journey through time, the stage is plunged into darkness. Suddenly headlights come on: three new generation T models (Transporter, Caravelle and Multivan) drive onto the stage. From the Multivan Highline step the Chairman of the Board of Management of the Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles brand, Dr Eckhard Scholz, and Board Member for Technical Development Hans-Joachim Rothenpieler, who then welcome the guests, including Fanja Pon, granddaughter of the man who provided the inspiration for the camper. She has even brought the famous camper sketch with her to the presentation from Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum. Now, the two directors introduce the sixth generation of the T series. Scholz: “The market demands extremely reliable, variable and individualised vehicles. This is true for the past as well as today. We supply our models in top quality to meet every requirement exactly – for the craft trades, retail trade, service providers, family and recreation. With this sixth generation of the T series, we have succeeded in doing that once again. We create value. See for yourself!”WEBSITE

Instructors: Dan Novy, V. Michael Bove, and Marco Tempest Course Description: (Excerpt) When Aleister Crowley defined magic as “the Science and Art of causing Change to occur in conformity with Will,” he might as easily have been describing technology. In fact, “magic” is still the word we use to encompass the wonders of a new technology before itbecomes ubiquitous.
From Neolithic ceremonies to Las Vegas stage shows, “magic” describes a long tradition of using technology, ritual, and performance to create wonder. As 21st century technologists there’s still a lot we can learn from this tradition. Engineering illusions requires close attention to the limits of human perception, disciplined practice of the art of showmanship, and subtle use of the crafts of deception — skills that are just as relevant to contemporary technology demos as they were to 19th century stageillusions.
Further, magic is one of the central metaphors people use to understand the technology we build. From install wizards to voice commands and background daemons, the cultural tropes of magic permeate user interface design. Understanding the traditions and vocabularies behind these tropes can help us produce interfaces that use magic to empower users rather than merely obscuring their function. With a focus on the creation of functional prototypes and practicing real magical crafts, this class combines theatrical illusion, psychophysics, sleight of hand, machine learning, camouflage, and neuroscience to explore how ideas from ancient magic and modern stage illusion can inform cutting edge technology. Guest lecturers and representatives of Member companies will contribute to select project critiques. Requires regular reading, discussion, practicing magic tricks, design exercises, weekly assignments and a final project. Students should have at least basic experience with fabrication techniques and/or coding skills. _•_ MAGIC MADE ON A MAC, APPLE STORE GINZA OPENING, TOKYO 2005 _•_ PARSONS, THE NEW SCHOOL FOR DESIGN, LECTURE, PETLAB 2015 _•_ MIT MEDIA LAB INDIA INITIATIVE, SKYPE LECTURE, MUMBAI 2014 _•_ MIT MEDIA LAB, FACULTY PRESENTATION, CAMBRIDGE 2012 _•_ FLYING TOKYO #4 INTERACTION DESIGN LECTURE, TOKYO 2010 WEBSITE www.rhizomatiks.com/event/flyingtokyo4 _•_ MAGIC MADE ON A MAC, APPLE STORE ZURICH, ZURICH 2009 _•_ MAGIC MADE ON A MAC, APPLE STORE MUNICH, MUNICH 2009 _•_ MAGIC MADE ON A MAC, APPLE STORE SOHO OPENING, NEW YORK 2005 &2006

After viewing the phenomenal success of Marco’s viral videos on Youtube, Google Video, MSN Japan and other outlets, Toshiba’s marketers enlisted his aid to create special video art that would help them market products in all their key product lines – mobile phones, HD TV and personal computers. All the videos were shot on location in Japan, and each included both an original magical effect shot using a Toshiba cellphone camera and an HD “making of” the effect video to be used by Toshiba in the marketing of their HD-DVD players at various point of sale locations throughout Japan. In addition to showings at point of sale locations, videos are to be distributed via the internet through the Toshiba mobile portal and on Youtube, LiveVideo, Google video, and the like. Upon seeing the first videos delivered, Toshiba’s TV Planning Assistant Manager commented: “Somebody from within the company…is obviously in touch with current trends!” Other top Toshiba executives had their own reactions: “”Looks like the new generation is upon us,” and “Did Toshiba think of this?! Unbelievable!” The new videos proved to be a great success, garnering more than 500’000 viewings on the viral video sites.
