NHU XUAN HUA
Codie Young
El mundo de Nhu Xuan siempre está al límite, atrapa el momento difícil de alcanzar cuando la percepción cambia de real a surrealista. Este interés en las artes la llevó a una firma que va más allá de la fotografía de moda. Moldeando cada elemento del marco como lo haría un escultor con arcilla, ella considera cada objeto como una forma física más que como una herramienta funcional. Ella usa sus sets para convertir sus proyecciones abstractas en reales, cuestionando el espacio como un marco bidimensional para completar con composiciones muy precisas.

Coachella
Edoardo Tresoldi plays with the transparency of mesh and with industrial materials to transcend the time-space dimension and narrate a dialogue between Art and World, a visual summary which reveals itself in the fade-out of physical limitations. Mixing classical and modern language, he generates a third one, strongly contemporary.

Aquateque
Aquateque è un cortometraggio che esplora il fiume Ruhr attraverso una varietà di nuove tecnologie multimediali. Il progetto combina strumenti AI e AR per esplorare modi sostenibili di creare materiali digitali che fondono natura e calcolo. Il variegato ecosistema circostante viene catturato attraverso strumenti di programmazione audio, visivi e 3D e trasformato in uno spazio aumentato generativo.

Art of The Prank
“Media Prank” and “Culture Jamming” were the main anti-media countercultural tactics. Skaags was the “grandfather” of the so-called “media hoax“. Long before discussions of “fake news” or “memes” , he used lying and manipulation against the corporate media itself, producing funny, cynical and ironic effects. He made the mainstream media experience its own poison over and over again.” Wilson Roberto Vieira Ferreira

Lange bevor er über “Fake News” oder “Meme” diskutierte, setzte er Lügen und Manipulationen gegen die Konzernmedien selbst ein und erzeugte lustige, zynische und ironische Effekte. Er ließ die Mainstream-Medien immer wieder ihr eigenes Gift erfahren.” Wilson Roberto Vieira Ferreira

“Media Prank” (pegadinhas) e “Culture Jamming” (trolagens) foram as principais táticas contraculturais antimídia. Skaags foi o “avô” dos chamados “media hoax”. Muito tempo antes das discussões sobre “fake news” ou “memes”, ele usou a mentira e a manipulação contra a própria mídia corporativa, produzindo efeitos engraçados, cínicos e irônicos. Fez por inúmeras vezes a grande mídia experimentar seu próprio veneno.” Wilson Roberto Vieira Ferreira

Das Gehirn
Um ihre auffallend chaotischen und spontanen Formen einzufangen, werden die Neuronen in Self Reflected mit einer Technik gemalt, bei der Tinte mit Luftstrahlen auf einer Leinwand herumgeblasen wird. Die resultierenden Tintenspritzer bilden auf natürliche Weise fraktale wie neuronale Muster, und obwohl der Künstler lernt, die allgemeinen Grenzen der Technik zu kontrollieren, bleibt er in seinem Herzen ein chaotischer, abstrakter expressionistischer Prozess.
charles pétillon
Il fotografo francese Charles Pétillon ha creato una serie dal titolo Invasion, un progetto che ricorda in parte l’idea di The RedBall Project dell’artista Kurt Perschke o le Balloon Sculptures di Hans Hemmert. Centinai di palloncini bianchi straripano da spazi architettonici, quartieri e paesaggi naturali. Ogni foto diventa una metafora, una sensazione, o un’evoluzione dell’universo urbano. Gli scatti mirano a cambiare la nostra percezione del paesaggio che incontriamo tutti i giorni, trasformano un luogo comune in uno spazio inconsueto e straniante che ci spinge a osservare il quotidiano con occhi diversi.
ROBERT WHITMAN
Mobius Strip
Many people first pick up a camera to record their passions whatever they may be. But sooner or later, the best of them find that photography itself is their real passion. That’s true of Robert Whitman. Along the way, he found not just a pastime, but a way of life.
As a young hippie traveling the world after college, Robert found that with his camera he had entree to people and places he never would have encountered. He’s been on a life long journey of discovery ever since, with stops in Brazil, Cuba, Arizona, Miami Beach, Moscow, and Uruguay, just to name a few of the places where he’s lived and worked.
CALEB CHARLAND

apple trees and LED
Portland, Maine-based photographer Caleb Charland frequently merges art and science with his photographic experiments involving electricity, fire, and magnetism. One of his ongoing projects involves a series of alternative power sources created using fruit, coins, and even vinegar to power the lights in his long exposure photographs. The apple photograph above involved a nearly 11-hour setup as he carefully hammered 300 zinc-coated galvanized nails into apples (zinc reacts with acid in the apples creating electricity, science!) and used copper wiring to transfer the current to a standard living room lamp. Even then, the light was so dim it required a 4-hour exposure during which Charland fended off ravenous deer through the night with an impromptu shaker made from a tin can and wire nuts. You can read much more about the ordeal over on Discover, and here’s a video of the entire project coming together.

In Finch’s universe if you wait a few hours, the sun may very well change a leaden hue into gold. Like the ancient practitioners of the hermetic arts, who saw changes as the most fundamental truth of the universe, the artist doesn’t always provide an answer in his investigations. For Finch art can do more; it can “ignite our capacity for wonder.”
ANNA WILKINSON
Sculptural Simulacrum
“..Inspiration for this project comes from digital sculpture that created by sculptors who use specialized software to create their work.
In my literature review, I was fascinated to learn how much engineering and math are often involved in digital sculpture and to learn that the process of digital sculpturing has many similarities to pattern making which also relies heavily on mathematic, angles, and precise measurements…” “…One of the most inspiring digital sculptors for me was “Basheba Grossman”. I enjoyed many of his pieces, but was especially inspired from his digitally created bronze knots. In addition to the precise geometry of the knot sculptures, something which, even with the naked eye, it’s apparent that the knots are precise symmetrical pieces. What is also fascinating about the knots is that they exist simultaneously as different shapes that still occupy a single space! Collectively the knots form a sphere, or suggest a cycle or globe, yet the components of the knots are often more like bent stretching disc or arms. The knots have no visible foundation, it is impossible to see where the “starting point” and the “ending point” or even the edges of the sculpture exist..”

Extreme cantilever alert! A four-storey block with a mirrored underside juts out from the top of a Berlin hotel, 25 metres above the ground (photos by Roland Halbe). The huge cantilever comprises the upper floors of the eleven-storey NHow Hotel, which was designed by German architects NPS Tchoban Voss. The end of the cantilever is fully glazed whilst the underside is clad in polished aluminium, creating a mirror that reflects the hotel roof below. Part of the NHow chain, the 310-room hotel contains music facilities that include a ballroom and a sound studio.

Genesi
Figures in white coats wearing masks over their mouths, observing and conducting tests on other people. Between them stand glass cages suggestive of gigantic test tubes. GENESIS生长, as the title suggests, is a show about the origins of things. We are born and then we die, and in the meantime we undergo constant testing and increasing estrangement from the natural world.
