Máquinas y Almas (Machines and Souls) is the new exhibit underway at the Reina Sofía National Museum and Art Centre, where visitors can question whether or not art has a life of its own and whether or not technology is a means to create beauty. Visitors will also be able to interact with dynamic works and light sculptures. The exhibit consists of two sections in which XXI Century artists present works such as Theo Jansen¿s animal skeletons, fashioned from yellow electric installation tubes. These creatures walk along the beach without using any type of fuel, but are instead propelled by the wind. Known for his multi-projection systems, Daniel Rozin exhibits some of his mechanical mirrors that react to the spectator¿s presence. Through his works, one can attain an indirect perception of the ¿self¿. This system relies on the employment of hidden cameras that transmit the image of the visitor in real time, simulating being in front of a mirror. British astronomy and Physics enthusiast, artist Paul Friedlander, has researched all types of technologies and methods to transform light into a malleable material that can take on any form and volume. Among the works found in the two exhibit halls, one of Vuk Cosic is reflected onto a white wall section. He is the first internet artist to coin the term ¿net.art¿. There is also German filmmaker Harun Farocki¿s critique of consumerism during the final match of the 2006 World Soccer Cup between France and Italy, and the project ¿Urban Space Station¿, which explores the ways to isolate carbon dioxide emissions from buildings. All these works have their origins in the use of digital technology, a shared characteristic among all these participating artists. They explore the ways in which contemporary artists confront the crossroads of art, technology, and science.
