A homeomorphism, also called a continuous transformation, is an equivalence relation and
one-to-one correspondence between points in two geometric figures or topological spaces
that is continuous in both directions.Many forms observed in nature can be related to geometry. In accordance with classical geometry,the shapes that found in nature are consisting of lines and planes, circles and spheres,
triangles and cones. These shapes actually are a powerful abstraction of reality, so we need primitive objects to give a form and understand the complex structure that exists in nature.
Roberto Pugliese
Equilibrium Variant
This work has the purpose of exploring the occurrence of the Larsen effect (also known as feedback) through the use of mobile devices in a three-dimensional space. The distinctive screech of the Larsen effect typically occurs when a microphone catches the sound emitted by a speaker. It engages when the microphone is located too close to the speaker, and gets in the way of its frequency. The microphone amplifies and reproduces the speaker’s frequency with an ever-increasing width, virtually unlimited, in practice stopped by the amplifier’s clip. On a ground support, two mechanical arms are located. At the end of one arm there is a microphone, and on the end of the other there is a speaker. A software, created with this specific purpose, manages the position of the arms in a dynamic way, and provides that the distance between the microphone and the speaker never causes the amplifier to clip. This way, the system tends to reach an equilibrium that is physically impossible to attain. The struggle to balance creates an acoustic and visual dimension that is never the same: the frequency of feedback and the movements of the mechanical arms are always different and change in real time.

Can’t Help Myself
Constructed of a Kuka industrial robot arm, ‘Can’t Help Myself’ is programmed to do one thing: contain a viscous, deep-red liquid within a fixed area. When the blood-like substance pools too much, this activates the robot’s sensors causing the arm to swivel, flex, and shovel the liquid back to the center leaving splashes and smudges in its wake.

石田哲也
石田徹也は武蔵野美術大学を卒業した日本画家です。 彼の作品は、信じられないほどの才能と、おいしい批判的感覚を明らかにしています。 都市、技術、産業のシーンに強く影響を受けた彼は、現代社会に存在する窒息、苦悩、憂鬱の感情を可能な限り捉えませんでした。 彼の作品は、シュルレアリスムによる肖像画、痛みと鬱病の完全に悲観的な感情を反映しています。 石田徹也は、古典的なシュルレアリスム作品の特徴である想像上の強く抽象的なシナリオを作品から取り除き、しっかりとした線と提示されたテーマに強く存在する現実の文脈を挿入します。 残念ながら、彼は早死になり、2005年5月に鉄道事故で31歳で亡くなりました。 彼は素晴らしい芸術作品を残しました。それは再解釈するだけでなく、シュルレアリスムを更新します。この場合、これまで以上に現実的です。

Re)Evolution
With the machine programed to draw, the robot becomes a medium for interaction and for “symbiosis” with the artist, creating a kind of “hybrid body” of man and machine, whose nervous system and brain waves administer “software commands” to the robot during the drawing performance. A key actor in the exhibition will be the new model of the KUKA KR 210 robot, that has a multi-functioning performative role: from drawing, experimental dance, music – through the production of industrial sound, and a six channel video projection that documents Ilić’s projects.

private moon
Der in Moskau geborene Arzt wurde zum Avantgarde-Künstler. Leonid Tishkov ist mit seiner mobilen Kunstinstallation „Private Moon“ um die Welt gereist und erzählt die Geschichte eines Mannes, der den Mond getroffen hat und für immer bei ihr geblieben ist, sagt Tishkov. Das Projekt erfasst eine Reihe stilisierter und sentimentaler Fotografien von sich selbst mit einem großen künstlich beleuchteten Halbmond, die an verschiedenen Orten in China, Neuseeland, Taiwan, der Arktis und Frankreich aufgenommen wurden. „Der Mond ist ein leuchtender Punkt, der Menschen aus verschiedenen Ländern, verschiedenen Nationalitäten und Kulturen zusammenbringt – und jeder, der sich in seiner Umlaufbahn befindet, vergisst ihn nie. es gibt Märchen und Gedichte in unserer prosy und kaufmännischen Welt. “

SynthPets is inspired by the evolution of artificial intelligence and robotics, paying tribute to the creator’s robotic vacuum cleaner. These mysterious cyber-organic companions emerge through sketches, digital drawings, 3D sculptures, and AI-generated forms. The work explores humanity’s entanglement with electronic pets and devices that have become integral to everyday life.

Zeitz MOCCA
V&A Waterfront and Jochen Zeitz have announced a unique partnership to create a major new cultural institution that will focus on collecting, preserving, researching, and exhibiting contemporary art from Africa. An addition to Cape Town’s already prestigious V&AWaterfront, the museum is scheduled to be completed in 2016, at which point it will assume its place as the largest museum of modern art on the continent. In the meantime, the Zeitz MOCCA Pavilian presents changing exhibitions and educational programs that are available throughout the year.

Hidden Gems
Transforming the mopo oil reserve base, south korean designer hyuntek yoon of nooyoon has created a cultural and recreational cluster on the site. Located in sangam, north west of seoul, the abandoned area was previously filled with waste until the 2002 work cup which saw it turn into an an ecological park, digital media city, and world cup stadium. ‘Hidden gem’ seeks to revitalize the last piece of waste-land for public use. The project is based on the following questions: how can five oil tanks be transform to embed recreational programs and how can multiple activities interrelate and operate with each other?

The sound generated by the friction of the metallic robots against the floor, like that created by the contact between man and machine, is registered, altered and played in real time by the spheres, each with its own tonality, and amplified in the room. What is generated is a stream of multisensory information (visual, auditive, tactile), natural environment for mechanic creatures.
Raphaela Vogel
Isolator
“A further characteristic of Vogel’s practice is the way she uses the camera: she dispenses with a crew completely, she is always both protagonist and cameraperson. Vogel guides the camera using drones and thereby controls what we see and is not just an object. The camera itself becomes thus a protagonist of sorts, a counterpart or, as in the aforementioned scene, a playmate and a stalker: Vogel wears a controller to which the drone – an “airdog” equipped with a GPS tracker – responds and automatically follows her”.

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.
