MANUEL ROSSNER
Hotfix
En medio de la pandemia, las personas experimentan todos los días que la tecnología como los teléfonos inteligentes e Internet hacen que la distancia social sea soportable. Con su escultura AR, Manuel Rossner muestra cómo la tecnología puede convertirse en una revisión, una solución rápida a un desafío inesperado. “Hotfix” con sus burbujas y líneas es una divertida introducción a la resolución de problemas a través de la gamificación.

DAVID ROSETZKY
Commune
David Rosetzky works predominantly in video and photographic formats, creating scenarios in which human behaviour, identity, subjectivity, contemporary culture and community come under intimate observation. He has been making portraits since the early 1990s, using the format to explore relationships between interiority and exteriority, reality and fantasy, authenticity and artificiality. Technically and aesthetically precise, Rosetzky’s work is stylised, moody and strikingly beautiful, and resembles the idealised images found in high-end advertising and screen culture.

arch
John Houshmand creates exquisite art pieces that combine wood, glass, acrylic, and steel into stunning furnishings. He works and selectively harvests trees from, as well as mills and kiln dries wood at his 900-acre, upstate New York farm. He believes that trees are becoming lost in our world of mass furniture production. Much like our philosophy at RWF, John strives to show what wood really looks like.

Фрейд Лебайн
A Spring in New York
fred lebain is not scared of the mundane or clichés.
instead, he plays with them, superimposing their images on one another. last spring lebain took images of various areas in new york city, each one of them an occasion of a ‘first visit’ to the location, in which he photographed and then printed in large poster format. later, he returned to the same spots for a second visit, capturing a larger framed shot in which he aligned the poster documenting his first visit to the current scene. these postcard images show lebain’s preference for particular areas of the city, telescoping his views – a time parallax representing the days which separate the two shots – and superimposing his vision of new york. hands, feet or a pair of jeans can be seen… like surrealistic winks, indicating that the photographer is not alone in his mission.

The Sky over Nine Columns
Heinz Mack has developed a genuine language of light and colour since the 1950s and is a leading exponent of kinetic art. The concept of ‘Light Stele’, to which ‘The Sky Over Nine Columns’ refers, was first formulated by Mack in the late 1950s in his Sahara Project. His works in public spaces – whether in urban settings or nature – are always conceived as objects for light: “Light is decisive for my art. As far as light is concerned, I want to go to the limits of the possible.” (Heinz Mack)
Zaha Hadid
Opus Dubai Hotel
“O Opus segue à risca a principal missão da Omniyat, de tratar cada projeto como se fosse uma obra de arte única e exclusiva,” disse Mahdi Amjad, presidente executivo e CEO da Omniyat. “O projeto de arquitetura transparece a complexidade e criatividade do trabalho da ZHA; expressando uma sensibilidade espacial única, que transcende os limites entre o espaço interior e exterior, entre o cheio e o vazio e o que é opaco e transparente.”
DAVID SZAUDER AKA PIXEL NOIZZ
ghost_2
El artista húngaro David Szauder, conocido como Pixel Noizz, indaga los rincones de la memoria donde las ideas y los recuerdos se fragmentan, y traduce estas composiciones en fotografías “dañadas”. La serie de Szauder, que lleva por nombre Failed Memories, explora la “naturaleza imperfecta de la memoria”, la que coarta la imagen clara de los pensamientos que generamos. Cuando por alguna causa física o emocional se pierden trozos de alguno, estas lagunas inundan la imagen y la vuelven borrosa.

asphyxia
The performance is centered in an eloquent choreography that stresses the desire to be expressive without bounds. Motion data was captured using inexpensive sensors and that data paved the way through an extensive number of steps. Once all the scanned point cloud data were combined, they were used as the base for the creative development on the piece. A series of iterative studies on styles followed and several techniques and dynamic simulations were then applied using a number 3D tools for various results.

French designers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec have been working together for over 20 years now. Their interpretive approach to design channels the discussion away from notions of aesthetics or technology towards a more conceptual setting. Drawing primarily on organic phenomena, they produce furniture and design elements that converge in intricate formations, like a sophisticated second nature that undermines the commonplace hierarchies of objects and space through units that are essentially moveable.
rachel garrard
Body Systems I
British-born artist Rachel Garrard creates a range of multi-disciplinary work that explores the great unknown, looking to quantum physics and other theories of the universe for inspiration and guidance. Both her video performance pieces and works on paper capture, despite their earthly limitations, the infinite nature of life on this planet and beyond. In a personal statement on her blog, the artist explains “that exploring the outer reaches of the universe can be similar to exploring the inner reaches of the human psyche and that both are governed by the same forces.
LUDWIG ZELLER
CubeBrowser
CubeBrowser is a six display cube with digital screens that connects to online databases like Flickr.com. The owner is able to move through thousands of image-sets by turning and shaking the small cube in space. The pictures, which are streamed onto the cube from the internet, are grouped by tags. Horizontal turns change images, while vertical turns change to other tags and therefore associations. This creates a situationism-like “derive” in a collaboratively created archival architecture in your hands. What lies next to the mountains, what is next to the sky? CubeBrowser unfolds an awe-inspiring trip through the hidden realms of online databases. Originally, this project has been started with the help of Andreas Muxel and Charlotte Krauß.
Su Yu Hsin
Frame of reference
Il lavoro Frame of Reference, prodotto in collaborazione con GFZ German Research Center for Geosciences e NCTU Disaster Prevention and Water Environment Research Center, mostra scienziati nella gola di Taroko a Taiwan che studiano la misura in cui le frane sono guidate dal tempo e influenzano il clima. Su Yu Hsin è interessato all’approccio degli scienziati: attraverso l’uso di reti di monitoraggio in tempo reale, il corpo della persona che osserva viene sostituito da telecamere, sismografi e stazioni meteorologiche per vedere oltre la scala del sistema percettivo umano. Con questo lavoro, l’artista Su Yu Hsin si interroga sulla formattazione delle relazioni scalari tra campo, laboratorio e database.
