Jim Chen-Hsiang Hu
Hu atualmente aplica suas técnicas ao reino da moda, mas não necessariamente vê a tecelagem em 3D como algo restrito a esse campo. Ele diz: “Poderia ter um futuro possivelmente menos associado à moda … seria este o ponto de partida da arquitetura superleve?” Apropriadamente, o mais novo empreendimento de Hu é chamado de One More Dimension, como ele disse à 1 Granary Magazine em uma entrevista: “Eu queria introduzir mais um ângulo ou dimensão no design.” Ele explicou: “Visualmente, isso aparece como uma terceira dimensão nas roupas”. As peças de Hu refletem essa diversidade de material, textura e densidade. Certos artigos são mais parecidos com vestidos tradicionais, exceto por uma ou duas esculturas de tecido saliente, enquanto outros usam a técnica 3D para criar grandes faixas de tecido em malha, simulando golas de capuz exageradas ou delicadas, máscaras faciais e véus de renda. Essas peças de tecido vermelho são um jogo delicado e deliberado, alternando entre semissólido e vazio, tecido e rede, ao mesmo tempo que confunde os limites entre a superfície, a frente e o verso.
KEIICHI MATSUDA
Augmented (hyper)Reality
Keiichi Matsuda (BSc. MArch) is a designer and film-maker. He began working with video during his Masters of Architecture at the Bartlett school (UCL) as a critical tool to understand, construct and represent space. Keiichi’s research examines the implications of emerging technologies for human perception and the built environment, focusing on the integration of media into everyday life. He has a multi-disciplinary approach to his work, using a mixture of video, motion graphics, interaction design, and architecture to create vibrant “hyper-real” environments where the distinctions between physical and virtual start to dissolve.
Christine Ödlund
The Admiral’s Garden
Christine Ödlund’s work explores the borders of our knowledge of the world around us, connecting such themes as the chemical communication of plants, synaesthesia and theosophy. She works in a variety of media, including drawing, sculpture, video, watercolour and sound works.
Stress Call of the Stinging Nettle: When a plant reacts to a butterfly larvae feeding on its leaves, it releases chemical substances, or compounds. The characteristics of these compounds have been analyzed in collaboration with the Ecological Chemistry Research Group at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, and then transposed into amplitude and intensity of sinus tones, recorded at EMS (Electroacoustic Music in Sweden), Stockholm. Thus these beautiful graphic score and soundtrack by Swedish artist Christine Ödlund are direct transpositions of “the plant’s life, struggle and death”.

California Roll House
a structure which self-adapts to its extreme environment, the prefabricated ‘california roll house’ by korean practice violent volumes uses the latest
in sustainable technologies and mechanized systems to maintain a comfortable atmosphere in the desert surrounding. a carbon fiber truss frame
system supports the irregular wrapping form, providing a lightweight and strong skeleton on which a solid exterior shell is attached to reflect the
intense sun. transparent glass panels change opacity automatically with the angle of the sun to absorb the nighttime coolth and reject the daytime
solar gain. the roof element then transforms into an entry courtyard, providing a flat artificial ground plane from which one can enter the hydraulically-
powered door, which is the only door in and out of the house and services all spaces. interior curtains subdivide the rooms for privacy, with skylights
for extra light.

Anti-Utopias
The work deals with the notions of “smart technology” gaining more and more presence in the lives of the people and their environments. The gadgets and screens become almost self-explanatory. The technological objects seem to become more personalized, but the whole body – object interaction sets are defined by the objects design and interface.
Leonardo Drew
Но то, что поначалу казалось безопасным и немного анахроничным, теперь кажется пророческим: наши скульпторы «постмодернизма» все больше и больше углубляются в язык, характерный для других десятилетий. Эрик Фишль продолжает драму Огюста Родена со своей скульптурной группой «Десять дыханий», например, а Чарльз Рэй расширяет картину Жана-Антуана Гудона своим дебютным в Венеции «Мальчик с лягушкой». Точечное искусство, которое было постминималистическим в 70-х, теперь снова появляется под новым брендом как искусство инсталляции. Это новое отношение кардинально изменило намерения постмодернистской иронии, когда прошлые традиции были взяты на образцы и вырваны из контекста, как правило, для насмешек. В отличие от постмодерна, он восхищается эстетикой, которая была до него, и поэтому чувствительность Леонардо Дрю, кажется, догнала настоящее.
Jonathan Sitthiphonh
Icare
Jonathan Sitthiphonhs Maschinen könnten an das S.F.-Universum erinnern – die Exoskelett-Roboter in James Camerons Filmen zum Beispiel. Durch ihren Archaismus konnten sie sich auch an Leonardos Technik erinnern. Gefangen zwischen dem Mythos von Ikarus und dem Post-Menschen verwirklichen sie einen Traum, über menschliche Grenzen hinauszugehen. Aber ohne darauf zu antworten … Das Geschäft des Künstlers ist ehrgeizig, motiviert.

Limited Spaces N2
On approaching the piece, the viewer must mount a bicycle and start pedaling at a suitable and steady speed — only then will the projection of a film onto the screen start. In order to watch the film to the end one has to continue cycling without stopping. This work is built around a performance, produced by two actors: a man riding a bicycle and a woman, who, concealed behind the screen, moves depending on the man’s velocity, unintentionally creating changing reliefs which resemble sculptures. The abusive nature of the relationship embodied in the performance clearly draws on the ancient Greek myth about sculptor Pygmalion and his “artwork” Galatea on the one hand, and on the other references more contemporary feminist discourse, something to which the artist is far from being indifferent. The faster the man pedals, the faster and more forcedly the woman moves. Few trained artists could withstand such a speed.

Loreta Visic
vrouw
In her work Loreta Visic (1976) unites the extreme elements in her life in her very own way. She subtly points out the delicate balance and close link between the familiar and the strange. Generally we easily allow ourselves to believe that what we see is the only true reality. Loreta Visic shows us a glimpse of a different reality that lies beyond what we see.
Ana Montiel
Taking in her paintings is like opening your eyes after a nap in the sand. The colourful masses on her canvas appear to be in motion, plunging the spectator into a semi-conscious state. Beyond the merely pictorial, Ana Montiel’s works read like spiritual, dreamlike invitations, that hit you with a feeling of satisfaction and involuntary entrancement. Any tangible form looks acid-washed; a silhouette or a ray of sun gives way to a sfumato of light and pigments. The artist is interested in the conceptual issues of perception and phenomenology, based on the premise that reality is nothing but a collective and controlled hallucination.

후세인 샬 라얀
Hussein Chalayan cherche dans de multiples disciplines artistiques de féconds dialogues qui oscillent entre poésie, quête de sérénité et vivacité des mouvements. Il explore constamment de nouveaux champs de réflexion, s’interroge sur l’habit comme sur le corps qui le porte, redéfinit le contour du vêtement comme son rôle social n’oubliant jamais de rappeler que l’environnement tient, dans son travail, une place aussi importante que la recherche formelle.

As above
As Above is a short film exploring the tight link between the microscopic world and immensity of the universe. Illustrating our universe’s never ending dance of destruction and creation, in which life can emerge. As Above was made of one single shot filmed on the 8mm2 (0.3 square inch) surface of a chemical reaction. The environment in which we live, is at the constant mercy of the ever changing flow of planets, stars and galaxies… As well as the composition of the microscopic world. “As Above” is an invitation to contemplate the beauty of this perpetual movement of which we are part of… And perhaps invite the viewer to reflect on his position in the universe and the preciosity of life.
