musings on a glass box
‘Musings on a glass box’ occupies the entire ground floor of the jean nouvel-designed building, generating an immersive and captivating environment split between two adjacent gallery spaces. In the first volume, a fabricated leak in the ceiling generates single droplets of water, which then fall from 12 specified points in the structure’s roof. Each drip is then caught below in a red robotic bucket that moves in synchronization with the falling water. At the same time, an enormous LED screen hung within the neighboring gallery invites visitors to view nouvel’s ceiling from the perspective of the bucket, projecting a wavy and distorted image.

‘cracked portrait’

[…]en los “retratos agrietados” de Taisuke Mohri, la materia traiciona al espectador y participa de la ilusión de la obra artística y se convierten así en cómplice de la simulación. Estos retratos hiperrealistas creados a lápiz llevan encima una lámina de cristal agrietada, segmentando la imagen en trozos más o menos borrosos. Las grietas se convierten así en parte de la imagen, creando líneas en el propio cuadro.

Modern Guru
Modern Guru is a translucent ovoid with four huge digital eyes, floating above a ceremonial ring of LEDs. From his mouth flows a ream of absurdist messages, and in a statement about the true nature of lived experience, a new message is delivered when visitors take a photo of Modern Guru – a missive produced only for those who seek to photograph life rather than live the moment. This immersive new media art installation uses the intersection of art and technology to explore modern paths to happiness through unique interactions with characters along a mystical journey of discovery. Visitors are asked to commit to the path – a tight and winding trail with subtle points of connection along the way – a glowing landscape of oversized, whimsical mountains that chant incantations and blink innocently from digital eyes.
Having communed with the Guru, visitors then weave their way back through this warped and strange world full of illusions and delusions, perceptions and deceptions, all the while bathing in luminescent light; embracing big, gentle forms; and following their own path up the pink tongue staircase to meet the one who oversees the whole fantastic dominion, the Sun God.

Data
Qualsiasi pixel in un file di filmato digitale può essere descritto come un punto nello spazio euclideo a 6 dimensioni [x, y, R, G, B, t]. le rotazioni nello spazio a 6 dimensioni converte la curva nella forma in gradazione di colore, il colore in movimento nell’asse del tempo, il movimento in curva e la curva in colore. le relazioni tra tutti i pixel vengono conservate matematicamente attraverso la conversione. Questo oggetto visivo è “matematicamente” i dati del film digitale a colori stesso come sequenza di numeri. è una natura dei dati.

INDUSTRIAL CREEPER

On the site we envision a antagonistic dialogue between the seemingly biologic units and its abiotic architectural foundation. The units find a home intertwined amongst the predictable regularity of the steel configuration remeniscent of a deteriorating and outdated technological era whose remnants can be found scattered across downtown Los Angeles. These old industrial artifacts, derived from sheer function, act as an all too familiar platform by which the occupant interacts with this new synthetic ecological system. Throughout the site, we see the units stretched and twisted in an extraodinary demonstration of elasticity. In this way, the building lingers in a constant state of mediation between the past and the future; succombing to the complex configuration of the aggressive industrial creeper.

The Shenzhen Natural History Museum
Located adjacent to the picturesque Yanzi Lake in the Pingshan District of Shenzhen, the new 100,000m2 facility will be a world-class natural science museum dedicated to interpreting the laws of natural evolution, showing the geographies of Shenzhen and its ecology in a global perspective, and actively advocating science. The design extends the public park network and aims to maximise access to the lush green areas throughout with a range of activities dedicated to keeping the site open and active throughout the day – from early morning jogs to late evening strolls. This gives the opportunity for residents and visitors alike to enjoy and connect with nature.

CAJSA VON ZEIPEL

Cajsa von Zeipel arbetar i ett storskaligt format och med tydliga referenser till såväl mode som renässansens mästare. Hon modellerar fram sina överdimensionerade skulpturer i frigolit och den slutgiltiga formen täcks med ett lager av gips.

Joseph Walsh Studio

Magnus Celestii 是Joseph Walsh工作室第一件此类规模的作品。作品名称来源于拉丁文Magnus(“大”)和Celesti(天空的)。Joseph十分注重体验,这个大规模的装置可以让参观者流连其间。这个线条自由的大型雕塑用一层层的橄榄木构成,从地板蜿蜒上升至天花板。从开端的桌面造型向外扩散直到包围整个“艺术之家”的空间,最终悬挂栖息在画廊侧墙上成为大的搁架。“艺术之家”的展览空间为Joseph提供了在Roche Court新艺术中心特有环境下诠释形态和功能关系的机会。
