The 5th Kinetica Art Fair returns to Ambika P3, as one of London's annual landmark art exhibitions and a permanent fixture in the Art Fair calendar

Alongside the Fair, Kinetica will present a Feature exhibition, daily programme of talks, presentations and performances themed on Perception and Reality where eminent pioneers, experimental artists, performers and key figures in the field of kinetic and electronic art, cybernetics and neurosciences have been invited to participate.

Kinetica will be collaborating with groundbreaking holographic technology company Musion to produce the fair's programme of augmented reality, 3D projection mapping and live performances through Musion's state of the art holographic screen. A special Kinetica exhibition within the Fair will feature eight pioneering international artists that are recognised and well established within the contemporary art world.

Among the 8 so far confirmed, include: Gregory Barsamian, a Brooklyn low-tech artist who has a self professed "Industrial Revolution-style." His work explores dream-like states through zoetropic sculptures using persistence of vision, and challenges what is real and what is perceived. His most recent commission was for the worlds largest private collection at David Walsh's Museum of Old & New Art in Tasmania and he has works in collections worldwide including ICC (Inter Communcation Centre) Japan. Tim Lewis creates animatronic objects that raise questions about the boundaries that lie between nature, perception and fabrication. His work is in the collections of Arts Council Great Britain, British Council, Damien Hirst, British Airways and many more. Tim Lewis will be creating a new work for Kinetica 2013. Chris Levine is one of the most progressive artists working in light today and is widely considered one of the pioneers of the laser and holographic artform. Commissions, clients and collaborations include HRH The Queen, Mario Testino, Cartier and Hugo Boss. The innovative use of laser, holographics and LEDs feature extensively in his work which has an edge of pertinence and super modernity. Christiaan Zwannikens installations are like interactive Wunderkammers, new configurations of shrieking, clapping, ticking curiosities generated by machinery, as if in a futuristic zoo. His works are hybrid, techno-animalistic figures, made of wire or cable that come to life, responding to the viewer and to each other. Zwanikken plays nature -against artificial - against viewer removing any authoritative role. Zwanniken has recently exhibited at American Museum of Natural History, New York and at the most recent edition of ISEA. He will be debuting a new work for Kinetica Art Fair 2013. Kinetica Museum will also be curating a smaller exhibition within the Fair to showcase 10 Kinetica Oxygen Artist Members. This new membership scheme has opened the door for many artists to be showcased through Kinetica.
