MONICA BONVICINI
NEVER AGAIN
Since the nineties, artist Monica Bonvicini has confronted audiences with drawings, installations, videos, and photographs that explore the construction of sexual identity through architecture. Her large-scale sculptural works provoke modernism with sheets of shattered glass and non-functional metal scaffolds and include feisty sexual references with strategic placement of riveted black leather.

Intimacy Dress
INTIMACY is a high-tech fashion project exploring the relation between intimacy and technology. Its high-tech garments entitled ‘Intimacy White’ and ‘Intimacy Black’ are made out of opaque smart e-foils that become increasingly transparent based on close and personal encounters with people. Social interactions determine the garmentsʼ level of transparency, creating a sensual play of disclosure.

МИХАРУ МАЦУНАГА
Japanese designer Miharu Matsunaga has followed in the footsteps of polka dot queen Yayoi Kusama and covered everything with dots! For her college graduation project Miharu created an elaborate body of work using pattern that engulfs every surface from the human body to entire rooms. The result is a vibrating decorative surface that references everything from topographical maps to an ultra zoom of skin pores.

UVA UNITED VISUAL ARTISTS
Blueprint
Blueprint embraces the relationship and parallels between art and science, creating compositions through the mathematical principles of logic that underpin life. Exploring analogies between DNA and computer code, UVA have created the Blueprint series; works that pair genetics and code as the blueprints of artificial and natural systems. As the work slowly changes over time, patterns fluctuate between varying degrees of complexity. Blueprint uses the basic concepts of evolution to create an ever-transitioning image. With cells literally transferring their genes to their adjoining others, colour flows like paint across the canvas. Drawing up a unique colourful composition every minute, Blueprint presents the unlimited outcome that results from a single algorithm; a single set of rules.

Wave of Matter
La pièce, intitulée Wave of Matter, se compose d’une grande feuille de métal au ras du sol avec des milliers de petites billes de métal sur le dessus, automatisées pour s’incliner au minimum toutes les minutes environ. Le résultat est visuellement époustouflant avec toutes les perles se déplaçant de l’autre côté, créant un effet similaire au sable le long du rivage lorsque l’eau se retire. Le bruit de bruissement des billes métalliques est également très semblable à celui de l’eau. C’est assez hallucinant.
CHUNKY MOVE
Brilho
Glow é um ensaio coreográfico esclarecedor de 30 minutos do Diretor Artístico Gideon Obarzanek e do criador do software interativo Frieder Weiss. Sob o brilho de um sofisticado sistema de rastreamento de vídeo, um ser orgânico solitário sofre mutações dentro e fora da forma humana em estados de criatura desconhecidos, sensuais e grotescos. Utilizando as mais recentes tecnologias de vídeo interativo, uma paisagem digital é gerada em tempo real em resposta ao movimento do dançarino. Os gestos do corpo são estendidos e, por sua vez, manipulam o mundo do vídeo que o cerca, não tornando duas performances exatamente iguais.

The MicroCinescope is an interactive artwork merging art and science. A high-resolution screen, magnified by an antique brass microscope, shows a live feed from above the device and the surrounding visitors. Placing the audience literally under the lens, the piece invites reflection on ourselves and our cultural habits—such as visiting art exhibitions.

JOEL TAUBER
In the 11th century, an English monk named Eilmer believed that the secret of flight was metaphysical. Prayer not science would enable him to fly. Eilmer thought that wings were useful only as mystical tools. Their physical properties were irrelevant. When Eilmer’s wings and prayers helped him believe he could fly, Eilmer leapt from the top of Malmesbury Abbey. Eilmer flew for more than a furlong… but then he crashed. He was crippled for the rest of his life.

The journey begins with Deforum, using the Automatic1111 interface to create basic images with the StableDiffusion XL, EndjourneyXL, and Lora XLFullArt templates. The video undergoes a transformation using the Absolute Reality model and Lora Aurora style, guided by the IPAdapter node and refined by QrCode Controlnet.
Bio
Fascinated by the limitless domain of AI, Luigi Novellino adopts the title syntographer, a term that resonates deeply within the community. The artist often asks himself: “am I an artist?” Art, in his view, defies rigid definitions or limits; it represents a fluid expression of creativity that transcends labels. The artist’s ultimate goal is to awaken something in the viewer, provoking thoughts and evoking emotions.

PETRA CORTRIGHT
HELL_TREE
Petra Cortright est une artiste Internet qui réalise des vidéos, des animations gif et des images fixes. Sa page d’accueil ressemble à une page html datée avec un tas de smileys et une liste de son travail: travail authentique, expérimental et nostalgique avec beaucoup de paillettes, d’étincelles, de collages et de personnages faisant des images. Tout au long du site Web, il y a des animations de souris amusantes, par exemple des étincelles qui suivent votre pointeur lorsque vous vous déplacez sur l’écran. Une autre chose intéressante est un cadre qui est attaché à votre pointeur afin que vous puissiez placer le cadre sur un portrait. Cortright a étudié à la Parsons School of Design de New York et au California College of the Arts de San Francisco. Aujourd’hui, elle vit et travaille en Californie. Elle a exposé à l’international dans des galeries telles que Gloria Maria Gallery (Milan) et Spencer Brownston (New York) entre autres. Récemment, Cortright a exposé avec sa série SO WET à la Preteen Gallery de Mexico.

They want to comunicate love through light. Their performances are poignant, warm, and personal, crafted from hand-drawn and hand-painted media, transformed into digital animation, then projection-mapped in a way that seems to bring São Paulo’s streets alive. Characters dance and run across the urban landscape, with a convincing blend of simulated movement and real moving projection.
