Silent Barrage
Silent Barrage has a “biological brain” that telematically connects with its “body” in a way that is familiar to humans: the brain processes sense data that it receives, and then brain and body formulate expressions through movement and mark making. But this familiarity is hidden within a sophisticated conceptual and scientific framework that is gradually decoded by the viewer. The brain consists of a neural network of embryonic rat neurons, growing in a Petri dish in a lab in Atlanta, Georgia, which exhibits the uncontrolled activity of nerve tissue that is typical of cultured nerve cells. This neural network is connected to neural interfacing electrodes that write to and read from the neurons. The thirty-six robotic pole-shaped objects of the body, meanwhile, live in whatever exhibition space is their temporary home. They have sensors that detect the presence of viewers who come in. It is from this environment that data is transmitted over the Internet, to be read by the electrodes and thus to stimulate, train or calm parts of the brain, depending on which area of the neuronal net has been addressed.
GUDA KOSTER
Keep it up
Guda Koster est une artiste néerlandaise qui compose des sculptures vivantes. L’artiste utilise des tissus, des couleurs et des motifs originaux qui lui permettent de créer des harmonies et des tableaux à la fois énigmatiques et mystérieux. Chacune de ses oeuvres mélange des éléments à la fois concrets et surréalistes.

THE DOG DAYS ARE OVER
THE DOG DAYS ARE OVER will be a work that tries to reveal the person behind the dancer. To reach this, a very complex, mathematical, dynamic and tiring choreography is constructed, which is performed almost completely in unison. The difficulty degree of the choreography is so high, that the dancers eventually will go wrong. It is there where the mask falls. The dancer is defined as an idle and purely executing species, striving for perfection.

МАЙКЛ ЭЛМГРИН И ИНГАР ДРАГСЕТ
Michael Elmgreen & Ingar Dragset, coppia nel lavoro e nella vita, con la serie di installazioni catalogate e numerate come powerless structures agiscono soprattutto sulla percezione dello spazio.
Le strutture del titolo, svuotate della loro potenza, diventano vulnerabili all’azione dei due artisti. Lo spazio fisico si arrende alla sua percezione e alla sua rappresentazione.

K-Museum Tokion
渡辺誠が設計した共同溝展示館です。 これは、このような美しい建物を設計するための驚くべき作業の複雑さの完璧な例です。 多くの家はシンプルでミニマルなデザインに関連していますが、多くの美術館、大学、アートギャラリーなどは、K-Museumと同じくらい複雑です。 日本の建築家は、このような畏敬の念を起こさせるが安全なデザインを作るために無限の時間を費やしています。 このような建物は、現代の日本建築の実行に注入された進歩と技術的卓越性のレベルへの賛辞であり、未来の方向にうなずくことができます-イノベーションがこの指数関数的な改善の道をたどり続けるならば、 創意工夫と機能のレベルは時間とともにエスカレートします。

Forms
Forms è una collaborazione tra gli artisti visivi di Memo Akten e Quayola, una serie di studi sul movimento umano, e i suoi riverberi attraverso lo spazio e il tempo. Si ispira alle opere di Eadweard Muybridge, Harold Edgerton, Étienne-Jules Marey così come analogamente si ispirano ad opere moderniste cubiste come quelle di Marcel Duchamp “Nude Descending a Staircase No.2″. Piuttosto che concentrarsi su traiettorie osservabili, esplora le tecniche di estrapolazione per scolpire forme astratte, visualizzando le relazioni invisibili, la potenza, l’equilibrio, la grazia e i conflitti tra il corpo ei suoi dintorni. Il progetto analizza gli atleti e di come questi spingono i loro corpi per le loro capacità estreme, con i loro movimenti plasmati da un processo evolutivo per le prestazioni vincenti.
ARAM BARTHOLL
0,16
0,16 is a light installation in which the shadows of a passer-by is transformed into ‘pixels’. The installation consists of a wall built of small square frames covered front and back with transparent paper. A third layer of paper is attached in the centre of the frames. A lamp shining at a distance breaks the shadows of the passers-by into squares, allowing a pixellated human figure to be seen on the other site of the installation. In this simple way, Bartholl renders tangible the pixels found in the world of digital communications.The ‘resolution’ of the screen is 0,16 ppi (pixels per inch), hence the title.

Prismverse
Hong-kong based design studio, XEX, presents ‘prismverse’, an interactive diamond-themed installation in shanghai. The installation was completed for american skincare brand, Dr. jart+, to serve as an experiential pavilion for their ‘instant V7 toning light’ at raffles city mall. The immersive installation is inspired by light rays traveling through a diamond. With a 10 meter-long LED floor and the complex geometrical tessellated mirror wall, the highly illuminated interior becomes a metaphor for the instant tone-up effect of the skin product.

AVATAR X Lab
The project is a partnership between ANA Holdings Inc. and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA); a part of AVATAR X, a collaborative program for the advancement of space exploration and development. ANA and JAXA are both experts at launching vehicles into the atmosphere, the feeling of suspension or ‘being in the air’ is natural for both entities. The AVATAR X Lab Building is designed as a suspended building floating above a moon-like crater. The multi-story structure floats eighteen meters above the crater bottom, and is accessible by a bridge. When astronauts board a spacecraft they cross a bridge; when we board a plane we walk across a jet bridge between the terminal and airplane. This is our last contact with familiar ground before taking off for someplace new. The suspended building embodies this crossing of thresholds: after passing over the bridge you are transported to a new place, the AVATAR X Lab Building, where technological innovation will change how we see the world.

The Vortex Chandelier
Le look du chandelier VorteXX est particulièrement futuriste, et a été décrit comme « une réminiscence de la double hélice avec l’apparence d’une forme fluide infinie, pulsant et luisant en apesanteur ». Cette lampe est fabriquée à partir de 60 moulages individuels et des tous derniers modules de LED permettant de générer de la lumière indirecte dans différentes teintes. Un système de gestion de la lumière imaginé par l’extra-terrestre le designer permet de programmer toutes sortes d’atmosphères lumineuses.
