Manipulating 3-D scans of his own body on the computer, Mr. Dupont then marries digital fabrication methods like rapid prototyping and computer numerically controlled milling with traditional plaster casting and other laborious hand work to make figures that can appear both archaic and futuristic. One of his standing nudes, similar in posture to the Kouros statues from ancient Greece, appears to melt into ripples when viewed on one axis, suggesting the psychic experience of man in the modern world.

Fulgurations
Fulgurations is een generatieve installatie samengesteld uit een reeks LED-schermen die een inhoud in constante mutatie toont. Het reageert op een algoritme ontworpen door Studio Daniel Canogar, geïnspireerd door de cellulaire activiteit en ander soort collectief gedrag en natuurpatronen. De code die deze beelden regeert, maakt gebruik van het computationele principe van cellulaire automaten, ontwikkeld door de wiskundige John von Neumann. De logica van dit systeem werkt door de invloed van naburige eenheden, wat collectief gedrag in de keten uitlokt met een hoge esthetische waarde.

Wayra Tour
Fuerza Bruta Wayra Tour, un espectaculo en el que las artes escénicas logran dinámica y velocidad asombrosas. Con un entrenamiento físico imprescindible, el grupo que lidera Diqui James ocupa toda la superficie de Orfeo Superdomo. En una entrevista con VOS, el director adelantó que el viento es protagonista y por eso, se instaló una burbuja gigantesca en la que ocurrirán cosas, con el público muy cerca y participando.
Dani Olivier
Corps célestes
The parisian photographer Dani Olivier uses the human body as a canvas, creating geometric, kaleidoscopic patterns and projecting them onto skin, the resulting portraits turning their corporeal subjects into trippy, futuristic landscapes.

The Smog Project
Dubai-based architecture firm Znera Space have released “The Smog Project,” a design to clean the air in Delhi, one of the world’s most polluted cities. Shortlisted in the World Architecture Festival’s Experimental Project Category, the Smog Project hopes to address Delhi’s noxious air quality by adding a network of smog filtering towers throughout the entire city. India’s capital has become known for toxic smog levels from overcrowding and industrial waste. Znera’s proposal hopes to cleanse the smog chamber and generate smog free air.

The Inner Life of the Cell
короткий фильм 3D-анимации, рассказывающий о различных биологических процессах в лейкоците, клетке человеческого тела. Фильм создали Дэвид Болинский (иллюстратор Йельского университета), ведущий аниматор Джон Либлер и Майк Астрахан из XVIVO для факультета Молекулярной и клеточной биологии Гарвардского университета. 8,5 минут анимации заняли 14 месяцев работы. Впервые фильм был продемонстрирован в 2006 на ежегодной конференции SIGGRAPH (short for Special Interest Group on GRAPHics and Interactive Techniques) в Бостоне.

SECHS
SECHS brings Bach’s heritage together with modern composition techniques and a refined kinetic light sculpture – emphasizing and re-interpreting his innovation in symmetry, repetition and composition. Following the likes of Wendy Carlos’ critically acclaimed ‘Switched on Bach’ — the first electronic interpretation of Bach’s work — and later re-interpreters such as Max Richter for Vivaldi, Acket & Vos present this completely new rendering of one of the world’s most influential composers. Together with the kinetic light sculpture by Christopher Bauder and spatial sound innovators 4DSOUND the composition is translated to a spatial immersive experience.

Bos van Licht
“In deze installatie voor COS wil ik een bos van licht maken”, zegt Fujimoto. “Een bos dat bestaat uit talloze lichtkegels gemaakt van schijnwerpers erboven. Deze lichten pulseren en ondergaan voortdurend vergankelijkheid van toestand en stroom. Mensen dwalen door dit bos, alsof ze worden gelokt door de charme van het licht. Licht en mensen gaan met elkaar om, zijn bestaan definieert de overgang van de ander.”

Clairvoyance
“Clairvoyance means the ability to perceive objects and matters beyond ordinary senses. We named this work as Clairvoyance because it perfectly describes the curiosity people have about the future. This grand artwork tells the story of how curiosity intrigues imaginations and improves technology, both of which urge people to move on.” Ke Jyun Wu

Sirenas
“Sirenas” in Spanish means both siren and mermaid or siren (mythology). The title of the performance invoked both the sensation of alertness associated to the sound of alarm sirens and the mesmerizing ‘siren call’, the song of dangerous mythological creatures. The ‘siren call’, in Spanish “el canto de sirena” (literally ‘the siren chant’) is popularly referred to as an unavoidable attraction to a seductive, dangerous situation.

КАЙЛ ДАНН
Kyle Austin Dunn uses sculpture and painting to create his abstract geometric pieces. Dunn manages to bring inanimate objects to life as his varied shapes take on behaviour and emotion via his keen use of colour and neutral tones. The gap between sculpture and painting is easily bridged by Dunn, his pieces seem to flow between both disciplines effortlessly. Dunn creates from his studio just north of San Francisco in the US, making his living by building custom furniture for clients around the Bay Area.
CAI GUO-QIANG
Échelle céleste
La magnifique installation de l’artiste Cai Guoqiang a eu lieu en juin dans la ville de Quanzhou, dans la province chinoise du Fujian, au sud-est. Il a été réalisé à l’aide d’un gros ballon météo tirant sur une échelle de fil de 500 mètres de long parsemée de feux d’artifice et de poudre à canon, selon Yahoo News. C’était la troisième tentative de Guoqiang de créer Sky Ladder. En 1994, l’artiste a tenté un spectacle similaire, mais des vents violents ont empêché le ballon de décoller. Il a réessayé en 2001, lorsque Shanghai a accueilli le sommet de l’APEC, mais l’accès aérien restreint en raison des attentats du 11 septembre 2001 a signifié que l’installation de rêve de Guoquiang a de nouveau été suspendue.

Museum Motus Mori
German choreographer Katja Heitmann and ten dancers will create a museum for physical movements that face the threat of extinction. Museums are meant to preserve human culture and history. It nearly goes without saying that they do so through objects, installations, and occasionally, stories. But humanity itself is missing in this solidified version of our lives. For six weeks, five hours a day, the dancers and the choreographer will take on the remarkable challenge of creating a new museum precisely for that purpose. Museum Motus Mori will sensitize visitors to the deep humanness hidden within the body.
