“Con Sans Objet, volevo introdurre sul palco un robot industriale con la forza di muovere elementi dello scenario oltre che attori. La macchina diventa protagonista a tutti gli effetti. È un braccio articolato e meccanico. È usato come un “burattino” – un essere tecnologico al 100% – nel suo dialogo con un normale uomo contemporaneo “.

Hylozoic Ground
The project’s title refers to ‘hylozoism’, the ancient belief that all matter has life. Hylozoic Ground offers a vision for a new generation of responsive architecture. The Hylozoic Ground environment can be described as a suspended geotextile that gradually accumulates hybrid soil from ingredients drawn from its surroundings. Akin to the functions of a living system, embedded machine intelligence allows human interaction to trigger breathing, caressing, and swallowing motions and hybrid metabolic exchanges. These empathic motions ripple out from hives of kinetic valves and pores in peristaltic waves, creating a diffuse pumping that pulls air, moisture and stray organic matter through the filtering Hylozoic membranes.

Thrown to the Wind
Feita pelo artista Wang Zhiyuan, essa torre de lixo de quase 11 metros de altura se chama Thrown to the Wind (jogado ao vento). O artista diz que queria retratar os montes de resíduos que se acumulam em sua cidade e chamar a atenção para o problema. “Eu quero que a minha arte seja algo maior do que eu. Se ela não estivesse envolvida em problemas da sociedade, eu me sentiria culpado”, afirma.

The cubic structural evolution
Al centro del lavoro di Eliasson c’è la considerazione di come percepiamo e viviamo il mondo. Spesso fabbrica fenomeni dall’aspetto naturale (come la luce del sole, l’acqua corrente o la nebbia) in ambienti artificiali come una galleria d’arte. Questi fenomeni fabbricati coinvolgono direttamente i sensi del suo pubblico e sollecitano riflessioni su come viviamo le cose. Eliasson ha descritto questo effetto come la capacità di “vedere se stessi vedendo”. Il progetto di evoluzione strutturale cubica 2004 è un’opera d’arte partecipativa in cui gli spettatori contribuiscono alla costruzione di un mondo Lego. È un lavoro in cui Eliasson incoraggia un livello di coinvolgimento molto diretto. Gli spettatori sono in grado di guidare attivamente la loro esperienza del lavoro mentre prende forma organicamente per tutta la durata della sua installazione.

Suspense
Facilitando il senso di sconosciuto, ignoto, attraverso la sua inattesa manipolazione della cornice architettonica, “suspense” dall’architetto americano Sophia Chang è un’installazione interattiva presso la galleria Invivia a Cambridge, Massachusetts. Curata e sponsorizzata da Allen Sayegh (co-fondatore di invivia) e Ingeborg Rocker (co – fondatore di rocker-lange architects), l’installazione è costituita da geometrie di tessuto ammorbidito che confondono i confini tra interno ed esterno.

דן פלבין היה אמן אמריקאי וחלוץ המינימליזם, שנודע בעיקר בזכות התקנותיו הראשונות של גופי תאורה. הפסלים המוארים שלו מציעים חקירה צורנית וקונספטואלית קפדנית של חלל ואור, ובו האמן סידר נורות פלורסנט מסחריות לקומפוזיציות גיאומטריות שונות. “אני אוהב אמנות כמו מחשבה טוב יותר מאשר אמנות כמו עבודה”, אמר פעם. “תמיד שמרתי על זה. חשוב לי שלא אלכלך את הידיים שלי. זה לא בגלל שאני עצלן אינסטינקטיבית. זו הצהרה: אמנות היא מחשבה. “

Robot Journey: Part 1, 2 & 3 – China
In a future where Earth’s environment has become uninhabitable, a lone robot sets out in search of a new home for humanity. After decades of travel, it discovers a planet strikingly similar to Earth — but it’s not alone. In The Last Explorer, the robot encounters mysterious presences and begins to develop emotions while exploring the unfamiliar world. Confronted with challenges, it must make choices that reflect its growing sense of awareness.

Tom Lovelace
In Preparation No.04
Tom Lovelace works across photography, sculpture and performance, where concept prevails over form and his methodology is one of deconstructing conventions of a conceptual understanding of ‘discipline’. Primarily using the industrial landscape as his sourcing ground, he seeks to manufacture an ephemeral subject, creating environments and interventions that exist solely for the camera.
