Bestiario, a Spanish based company thats specialise in:

computer-based applications in the domains of information visualisation, social networks, creative collaboration and expositions where there is a link between art and science

will be exhibition some of their latest work, The Atlas of Electromagnetic Space at AV Festival 08 in Middlesbrough on 04/03/08.

The radio part of the electromagnetic spectrum is something which can’t normally be seen with the naked eye, but the innovators of Bestiario will put it on view, by deploying the forces of art, science and technology. Displayed on several large plasma screens located in the central foyer of Middlesbrough’s brand new Institute for Digital Innovation, this impressive new installation enables visitors to interact with the electromagnetic spectrum, and learn more about it. Visitors can choose to see the structure and topology of the spectrum and find out what kinds of activities happen there, from television and radio, to mobile telephony and wireless internet. The Atlas of Electromagnetic Space will also show the assignation of frequencies to different communication protocols, and the cultural, social and artistic interventions that are currently taking place in the spectrum.

Both AV Festival website and programme suggest that Bestario’s work Mnemosyne (images above, video below) is indicative of their new work but that remains to be seen.
