ANTOINE SCHMITT & JEAN JACQUES BIRGE
Nabaz’mob
100 Nabaztag smart rabbits play together an opera specially composed by Antoine Schmitt and Jean-Jacques Birgé.
Evoking John Cage, Steve Reich, Conlon Nancarrow and György Ligeti, this musical and choreographic score in three movements, transmitted via wi-fi, plays on the tension between the orchestral ensemble and the individual voices to create a strong and involved showpiece. This opera questions the issues of working together, organization, decision and control, which are increasingly central and difficult in our contemporary world.
Schmitt and Birgé have chosen to twist the industrial object into an artwork in which the choreography of the ears, the play of light and the hundred small loudspeakers hidden in the stomachs of each rabbit create a composition with three voices built on time delay and repetition, programming and disrespect for rules.

FARM 432 : INSECT BREEDING
By 2050 meat production will have to increase by 50%. Considering that we already use one third of croplands for the production of animal feed, we will have to look for alternative food sources and alternative ways of growing it.Farm 432 enables people to turn against the dysfunctional system of current meat production by growing their own protein source at home. After 432 hours, 1 gram of black soldier fly eggs turn into 2.4 kilogram of larvae protein, larvae that self-harvest and fall clean and ready to eat into a harvest bucket.This scenario creates not only a more sustainable future of food production, but suggests new lifestyles and food cultures.Black soldier fly adults don´t eat, the larvae can be fed on bio waste, therefore the production almost costs no water or CO2. Black soldier fly larvae are one of the most efficient protein converters in insects, containing up to 42% of protein, a lot of calcium and amino acids.

Utero Termico
“Thermal Womb, una scultura di figura sospesa a testa in giù che richiama la pratica della crioconservazione. La struttura è infatti una replica del meccanismo utilizzato da aziende come Alcor, che prepara i corpi prima che vengano immersi nell’azoto liquido, figure congelate a tempo indefinito, in attesa che la tecnologia le raggiunga e le faccia rivivere. La componente cinematografica del lavoro rivela un paio di luminosi occhi blu, la cui unica animazione è battere le palpebre, aggiungendo uno strato basato sul tempo alla natura altrimenti statica del pezzo.

Êxtase (ecstacy), Ascensão e Morte
With a multiple artistic production expressed in the form of drawing, sculpture, video, acting, politics, education and publications, it seeks to challenge and explore the formal structures, materiality and visuality in contact with the notions of theatricality in contemporary life.

Túnel
«Tunnel» est une sculpture cinétique, immersive et interactive, composée de 92 portiques qui se désordonnent en fonction de la position et de la masse corporelle de l’interacteur. De nombreux utilisateurs peuvent simultanément entrer et interagir avec la machine. Les interacteurs agissent sur la machine par leur position et leur poids. Un exemple d’interaction est: vous entrez dans le «Tunnel» et vous vous tenez près de l’un des murs latéraux. Dans ce cas, la position relative et la force gravitationnelle de votre corps provoquent des variations de hauteur du sol. Le sol s’incline jusqu’à 5 °, les portiques associés tournent progressivement dans la direction et l’angle correspondants, ce qui propage des mouvements ondulatoires dans toute l’installation. Pour l’observateur extérieur, le mouvement interne ou votre déplacement par rapport à l’installation produit des effets optiques cinétiques.

OLIVIER RATSI – ANTIVJ
Casca de cebola
Baseando-se principalmente na experiência da realidade e nas representações da percepção do espaço, Olivier Ratsi considera a realidade objetiva, o tempo, o espaço e a matéria como noções intangíveis de informação. Seu trabalho consiste em desenhar processos de descontinuidade com essas noções para poder compartilhar com o espectador outro ponto de vista. Através deste processo, Ratsi cria uma ruptura nesta realidade objetiva, alterando nossa percepção da realidade. No entanto, esta ruptura significativa e inquietante é moderada o suficiente para não privar o espectador da sua capacidade subjetiva de reconstrução / reconstituição da realidade, através da sua experiência e da sua própria cultura. o papel de desencadear emoções, que não se destinam apenas a mostrar o que as coisas podem ser de outra forma, mas sim a questionar as suas referências.
MOUNIR FATMI

Evolution or Death
Fatmi inverts spectacular representations of identity by rendering them mundane and within reach of a subject that may scramble any conclusive narrative. Fatmi’s work counters strategies of interpellation that identifies a subject with an ideology prior to that subject’s ability to place their identity in or beyond a particular ideology. Fatmi parodies the various interpellations of colonialism and capitalism that seek to define others according to symbolic narratives. In Evolution or Death, 2004, (fig. 4) two Anglo-European looking subjects imitate suicide bombers with books and papers taped around their abdomens. One holds open a trenchcoat and another holds up a book that looks like a detonator attached to wires. Fatmi reverses the situation. These are not the suicide-bombers from Arab and Muslim countries. Instead, they appear to be of European descent in a European street or modern room in casual clothing.

Perfect face
FILE FESTIVAL
The viewer is confronted with a face on the screen that is constantly, almost imperceptibly changing. The perfect hair and make-up give rise to the expectation of a beautiful model, but this is not always fulfilled. The starting point is super-model Claudia Schiffer, however, the facial features are in a state of flux, ‘mutating’ every few seconds to a new configuration. Our reaction to the face changes accordingly between attraction and repulsion. Beauty has long established itself as a commodity that can be sold and bought. ‘A PERFECT FACE’ constantly tests and challenges our idea of what beauty is.

//:Are you observing or being observed? – Brasil
Nesse curta-metragem criado para a Bangkok Art Biennale 2022, são explorados temas como vigilância, desvio de atenção, corpos digitais versus presença digital, e os limites entre materialidade e imaterialidade na contemporaneidade. A artista utiliza áudio e animação em CGI para expressar suas sensações e reflexões sobre esses temas. A obra propõe uma reflexão sobre o ato de consumir conteúdos online enquanto somos simultaneamente observados por algoritmos que coletam nossos dados — um jogo entre observar e ser observado. O trabalho encarna essa grande entidade anônima que nos cerca e nos vigia na internet.
