exosphere
The Exosphere has a diameter of 12 m (39’4″), weighs 4.5 tons, and relates to the Earth at a scale of 1:1,000,000. Its blue LED display indicates the geographic location of Wolfsburg, local temperature and time (supplied by the Atomic clock). It is positioned where Wolfsburg would be on this globe, assuming that the bottom of the globe is North and the vertical red display represents the position of the international dateline.
Field of Globes is a permanent installation of ninety World Processor globes. These spheres are readymade acrylic globes altered by the artist to visualize data on a variety of topics. This data comes from myriad sources, including the United Nations, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, and other organizations.

Digital Origami: Exploring Procedural Animation – Brazil
This workshop introduces procedural animation, a technique that uses mathematical parameters to create automated movements. Using the free version of Houdini software, participants will learn how to digitally assemble and animate origami, exploring the software’s features to simulate movements and behaviors. The creative possibilities of this approach will also be discussed, highlighting applications in animation, generative design, and visual effects.

iTypewriter
Gedacht ist der iTypewriter laut Entwickler als Eingabegerät für die älteren Semester, die mit mechanischen Schreibmaschinen vertraut sind, sich aber an Rechner und iPad nicht herantrauen. Auch bringt der iTypewriter das haptische Feedback zurück. Der iTypewriter funktioniert wie eine echte Schreibmaschine, nur treffen die Typen den Touchscreen des iPad statt eines Farbbandes. Die Typenhebel haben deshalb am Ende Gummistücke, die den iPad-Stift ersetzen.

כסא קשת
Bow היא התוצאה האחרונה של המחקר הנרחב והמתמשך ש-ZHA מבצעת בתחומי הדפסת תלת-ממד וניסויים בחומרים. הכיסא משלב עיצוב וטהור המבוסס על תהליכי אופטימיזציה מבניים המצויים בדרך כלל בטבע, עם חומרים חדשניים ושיטות ייצור מתקדמות ביותר. הדפוס והשיפוע הצבעוני מתאחדים בהגדרה מחדש של היחס המרחבי המסורתי בין הרהיטים לתפאורה שלו.

GREG LYNN a été un innovateur dans la redéfinition du support de conception avec la technologie numérique et a été le pionnier de la fabrication et de la fabrication de formes fonctionnelles et ergonomiques complexes à l’aide de machines CNC (Computer Numerically Controlled). Les bâtiments, les projets, les publications, les enseignements et les écrits associés à son bureau ont eu une influence sur l’acceptation et l’utilisation de matériaux et de technologies de pointe pour la conception et la fabrication. Alors que les opportunités de conception s’étendent aujourd’hui à de multiples échelles et supports, son studio Greg Lynn FORM continue de définir la pointe du design dans une variété de domaines. Son travail fait partie des collections permanentes des plus importants musées de design et d’architecture au monde, notamment le CCA, la SFMoMA, l’ICA Chicago et le MoMA.

Great Chain of Being
FILE FESTIVAL
The great chain of being, an ancient philosophical concept, attempted to explain the structures and relationships of the world as a form of hierarchy or set of strata. This philosophical idea is here expressed in the form of the entities that constitute the contemporary world. The philosophers of the past believed that the structure of the world had at its top a god, and that beneath there were angels, animals, plants, and elements. But this conception of the world, as a result of the changes in civilization and culture, resulted in the elements that constitute the world undergoing a transition and sustaining an unforeseen hierarchy. The works of art depict the contemporary structure in the form of robots, machines, people, animals, and virtual or digital entities. Within virtual systems, these entities undergo a process of creation, arrangement, use, disposal and recycling, through which they emerge and disappear. The work depicts the stories emerging from these processes, against the background of a systemically designed landscape akin to a factory.

Conversation Bubble
At any given moment of time five people are needed to inflate the structure. While the bodies of participants are squeezed and immobilized between two layers of clear vinyl, their heads can move and talk inside the inflated bubble. The duration of the piece depends on the five people’s agreement to end it, as no one can leave on his/her own accord.
Eugenia Loli
“It’s important for me to ‘say’ something with my artwork, so for the vast majority of my work there’s a meaning behind them. I usually do this via presenting a “narrative” scene in my collages, like there’s something bigger going on than what’s merely depicted. Sometimes the scene is witty or sarcastic, some times it’s horrific with a sense of danger or urgency, some times it’s chill. I leave it to the viewer’s imagination to fill-in the blanks of the story plot.”
