From Brueghel’s Fall of Icaros to\u0026nbsp;Leonardo and Panamarenko. But art never really flies: line, structure and\u0026nbsp;form suggest the\u0026nbsp;flying. Art remains stuck to the earth. In Aeromatic Art\u0026nbsp;Project the roles are reversed: art does not show the liberating flying; the\u0026nbsp;flying generates art, and suggests\u0026nbsp;line, colour and structure. Technology\u0026nbsp;acquires a fascinating, festive character.\u0026nbsp;Aeromatic Art Project is part of a series on play, technology and\u0026nbsp;movement.\u0026nbsp;This project is also a play with, and simulation of, situations in\u0026nbsp;reality. As they are shown to us every day by the media. The project refers\u0026nbsp;explicitly to\u0026nbsp;the ancient dream of man wanting to fly as it lives on in the\u0026nbsp;fascination for media images, video games and amusement parks. Play is an\u0026nbsp;evolution of the mind –as Huizinga noted.\u0026nbsp;Technology itself is in Aeromatic Art Project the material used to realise\u0026nbsp;the artistic product. This technology does not stand for anything else but\u0026nbsp;itself. Flying is no longer a symbol; the artistic reference is taken away.\u0026nbsp;Leonardo’s wish-dream has long since become a reality.

De actie zorgde voor veel rook en lawaai, want modelhelikopters vlogen toen op brandstof. Hugo Roelandt provoceerde subtiel en reflecteerde op\u0026nbsp;machine, spel en menselijk wensdenken. Waar het thema vliegen in de kunst vaak een symbolische lading heeft, benadrukte dit werk de technologie als autonoom artistiek materiaal.\u003c/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cp\u003eVliegen is een artistiek gegeerd thema, van Bruegels ‘Val van Icaros’ over\u0026nbsp;Leonardo tot Panamarenko. Maar de kunst vliegt nooit echt: lijn, structuur en\u0026nbsp;vorm suggereren het vliegen. De kunst blijft aan de aarde plakken. In Aeromatic\u0026nbsp;Art Project worden de rollen omgekeerd: niet de kunst toont het bevrijdende\u0026nbsp;vliegen, maar\u0026nbsp;het vliegen genereert de kunst en suggereert lijn, kleur en structuur.\u0026nbsp;De techniek krijgt een fascinerend, feestelijk karakter.\u0026nbsp;Aeromatic Art Project is een onderdeel van een serie projecten over spel,\u0026nbsp;techniek en voortbeweging. Ook dit project is een spel/simulatie van toestanden\u0026nbsp;in de werkelijkheid – zoals ons die\u0026nbsp;iedere dag door de media voorgeschoteld\u0026nbsp;worden. Het project refereert uitdrukkelijk naar de oude wensdroom van de mens\u0026nbsp;om te vliegen, zoals die in de fascinatie\u0026nbsp;voor mediabeelden, videospelletjes en\u0026nbsp;amusementsparken voortleeft. Het spel ontwikkelt van de geest – merkte Huizinga\u0026nbsp;al op.\u0026nbsp;De techniek zelf is in Aeromatic Art Project het materiaal dat gebruikt\u0026nbsp;wordt om het artistieke product tot stand te brengen. Deze technologie staat in\u0026nbsp;geen enkele mate voor iets anders dan\u0026nbsp;zichzelf. Vliegen is geen symbool meer, de\u0026nbsp;artistieke referentie is opgeheven: Leonardo’s wensdroom is al lang bewaarheid.\u0026nbsp;Aeromatic Art Project komt niet uit de lucht gevallen.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e(Uittreksels uit\u0026nbsp;\u003ci\u003eHugo Roelandt: Let's Expand The Sky\u003c/i\u003e, red.
