Alice Pegna
Ex-Nihilo
Nothing comes from nothing … With Alice Pegna, Epicure’s Latin phrase “Ex nihilo nihil fit” is at the heart of a design adventure as strong as it is elegant. Visual artist and interior designer, the young lady is inspired by this reflection on the source of the material to create arachnid sculptures between exoskeleton, armor and ornament.

Mycelium Network Society
Franz XAVER + Taro + Martin HOWSE + Shu Lea CHEANG + global network nodes
Mycelium Network Society (MNS) investigates the unique abilities of mycelium, the collective name given to thread-like networks of fungal cells, to share and process information. Launched at the Ecologies excursion of transmediale 2017 in Berlin, in 2018 MNS takes on a franchise mode—inviting alternative art spaces and bio-hack labs to become nodes within a mycelium network, and to host workshops, residencies and exhibitions investigating mycelium, fungus and spores. Mycelium is henceforth used as a structure through which to connect co-habitants across borders, to develop channels for constant communication, to construct political tactics and contest economic collapse. The network currently comprises six nodes across France, the UK and USA, and most recently four sites in Taiwan.

BIPED
“Ever the experimentalist, Cunningham collaborated with digital artists Paul Kaiser and Shelley Eshkar using motion capture technology to create BIPED. As the name suggests it’s in its most basic sense an exploration of the biped, the ambulatory two-legged body.
Eshkar and Kaiser place a scrim in front of the dancers on which they project a moving décor of lines and patterns.” Lisa Traiger

Fragments
Almost two hundred identical, small mirrors are arranged in a grid to form a flat, homogenous surface. Hung against the wall, the mirrors are closely spaced and apparently static; but they possess the ability to move in harmony with one another. Approaching the artwork, the individual mirrors turn together to face the onlooker, following as he or she moves. The plane of the surface distorts into varying, three-dimensional forms — perhaps a wave, or a curve, or a circle. The reflection becomes fragmented and the apparently inanimate object becomes akin to something organic and alive
Alex Verhaest
À la folie/To Insanity
Gregor and Grete don’t understand one another anymore. Their common language, which used to be based on love, has disappeared. She accuses him of becoming a sickening crustacean, while he says she’s degenerated into some kind of mollusc. Through a failing memory and ever-changing versions of the same story, the viewer and characters become embroiled in a false history.
The Man from the 9 Dimensions
The Man from the 9 Dimensions
Based on the latest scientific data and hypotheses, Takashi Shimizu, the pioneer of horror movies, visualizes the world as theoretical physicists see it in order to create a new kind of science movie. The world’s first 3D full-dome movie on the “Theory of Everything”; the ultimate goal of physics to describe all natural phenomena by a single, consistent theory. Physics is in crisis. Our understandings of the microscopic world of elementary particles and of the macroscopic world of the universe are in contradiction. Scientists are striving to resolve the contradictions and construct the Theory of Everything. Be ready to be surprised by the new world of vibrating strings and hidden dimensions predicted by the most promising hypothesis, the Superstring Theory.

CHBL Jammer Coat
The CHBL Jammer Coat is a piece of clothing that enables its user to disappear: Google cannot find you anymore. The piece is made of metallized fabrics, which are blocking radio waves and shielding the wearer against tracking devices. You are no longer reachable on your mobile phone and no information from your credit card can be captured. The Wave Circle pattern of the fabric gives an illusion of strange multiple body parts, which hides and frees the individual physicality.

يعتمد العمل الفني على عدد لا حصر له من التبريرات غير المتجانسة والجمعية والمتنوعة. إن الاعتقاد بأن كل هذا يولد من مجرد الإلهام أو الحدس هو أمر سخيف مثل الاعتقاد بعدم وجود علاقة بين السياسة والاقتصاد ، لنأخذ مثالًا حاليًا ومنخفض المستوى للغاية. من ناحية ، طور بعض المصورين أعمالهم لعقود أو ربما إلى الأبد ، مشبعة بأعمال فنانين آخرين وتأثرت بطريقتهم في التعبير عن رؤيتهم للواقع. هذا لا يعني أن عملهم ليس جذابًا أو ممتعًا أو رائعًا ، ولكنه يعتمد ببساطة على التفسير أو السلالة التي يمتلكها عمل آخر عنهم. توليد الهوس بالعمل نفسه ، كما لو كان مرآة ينظر فيها المرء إلى نفسه ، مرارًا وتكرارًا ، بحثًا عن إجابة تبدو مخفية.كشفت جولي بلاكمون (1966 ، سبرينغفيلد ، ميسوري) في عملها الأخير ، Day Tripping ، هذان المساران الإبداعيان الأساسيان. من ناحية ، باعتبارها الأكبر بين تسعة أشقاء ، تنقل حياتها الأسرية المكثفة وذكريات طفولتها إلى الصور التي تعرضها لنا ، ومن ناحية أخرى ، لا تخفي إعجابها بالرسام الفرنسي بالثوس وخاصة لعمله. ، La Rue. من هذين الإلهامين ، يبني Blackmon عالمًا كاملاً من الوجود الشخصي الذي يبدو معلقًا في الزمن ومتجمدًا في عالمهم الخاص ، كما لو كان ينتظر أمرًا يعجل بتطور الأحداث.
