RuShi
如是 (RuShi) means “as is”. Nothing more or less, but the true colors. It’s a piece of contemplative immersive installation art, where in using the ancient Chinese metaphysic algorithm, “八字” (BaZi). Yet take out all the extra cultural signs & materialistic interpretations, remain only the “Basic”, i.e. the 5 elements (gold/ wood/ water/ fire/ earth). Participants type in their date & time of birth, the fortune-telling algorithm turns out showing only the unique ones’ flow of colors. We can see no prediction of life from this machine, but only time & changes.

TESSERACT aka HYPER-Cube
Der Tesseract – auch bekannt als HyperCube – ist eine städtische 3D-Gerüstinstallation mit 65 beweglichen Lichtern. Es wird vollständig von unserer benutzerdefinierten Software gesteuert, die in Quartz Composer integriert ist. Die gesamte Bewegung wird aus grafischen Daten – Bildern – abgeleitet, die in Echtzeit in Schwenk- / Neigepositionen übersetzt werden. Die gesamte Show wird von einer massiven Ableton Live-Datei gesteuert, mit der wir erstellen können Echtzeitanpassungen und -transformationen immer synchron mit der Musik.
MOVIEBARCODE
STAR TREK VI- THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY
Movie Bar Code is based on a simple but amazing concept – take every frame in a movie and compress it into a line. Then put them next to each other and you get a barcode of the movie. Movie Bar Code is brilliant because it gives an interesting perspective into the color palette used by different movies.

stanze private
Stanze Private – Private Rooms” amplifies the noise inside these small rooms, these few jugs and glass ampoules, transparent. And it amplifies the noise in the surrounding environment, in the largest room where the installation is placed. It produces sound from the audience. We as listeners can not only be part of this small ecosystem, our physical presence alters the acoustics of the surrounding space, altering the dynamic. Listening thus interferes on listening, the listening is never something objective, is always something that changes the listening itself.

Vertical Migration
Unsettling our perceptions of scale and otherness, Vertical Migration is an intimate encounter with a life form that bears no resemblance to human beings, though we share a planet, an ecosystem, and a future. Because of sea-level rise, humans will also be migrating vertically in the coming centuries, to higher elevations and raised buildings. The siphonophore’s story is our story. Though we can never experience its journey through the pitch-black ocean depths, we can shift our perspective to recognize that we’re connected, that our actions affect each other, and that we share a common fate.

Felice Varini
Triangles percés
El artista suizo Felice Varini es uno de los grandes especialistas en anamorfosis. La anamorfosis es el arte de crear la ilusión de una forma plana geométrica sobrepuesta sobre un objeto tridimensional. Visto desde la perspectiva correcta, parecere como si estas formas estuvieran flotando en el aire. Distanciándose del lugar exacto, la ilusión se diluye, y todo lo que se ve son formas fragmentadas.
Es Devlin
Muse – The Resistance
Благодаря своему высокотехнологичному опыту, она была выбрана для разработки крупных проектов по всему миру, начиная с наград, таких как Grammy и Brit Awards, до британского павильона на Expo 2020 в Дубае. В интервью газете Guardian в 2016 году артистка рассказала, что вдохновляет ее думать о все более изобретательных сценах. «Все начинается с того, как артист ведет себя при первой встрече, – сказал Эс. «Я думаю и наблюдаю, как он хотел бы, чтобы его видела публика, и я начинаю работать с этого», – объяснил он свой творческий процесс. Работая с дизайном с 1995 года, она разработала свой первый сценографический дизайн в 2003 году. «Создание монстра» Были англичане из группы Wire. Два года спустя Канье Уэст обнаружил ее и сделал несколько сложную просьбу: переосмыслить все ее шоу всего за десять дней.
«Мне нужно подключиться к проекту, чтобы создавать красивые вещи. Но мне не обязательно очень нравится музыка художников, которые меня нанимают », – размышлял дизайнер. «Иногда я знаю только несколько главных хитов, и все. Теперь, если я полностью ненавижу это, у нас нет возможности работать вместе ».

Viridarium / Bioréacteur de spiruline
Gaspard and Sandra Bebie-Valérian will present Viridis. Viridis is a global project that relies on different modules, the main being an online video game, immersive, plus an installation made of spirulina bioreactors and a set of videos and sounds. While Viridis is mainly available on the internet, the two artists, at this occasion, will present it out of the screen, they will deploy and spread it in several modules.
Viridis is a unique game experience combining adventure, survival, and an actual operating spirulina community management. Through the video game, the community can directly affect and interact with a real operating spirulina farm, managed by the artists.

FILE FESTIVAL 2018
As things become smarter and connected, their roles in people’s lives are challenged. Things become closer and closer to us, eventually becoming “users” themselves. How will we understand objects’ needs and perspectives and potentially design for them?
Leo Villareal
Point Cloud
Point Cloud (ASU) is a newly commissioned artwork by Leo Villareal designed specifically for the ASU Art Museum in the Nelson Fine Arts Center. During his visit to the ASU Art Museum, Villareal was inspired by the museum’s architecture, designed by Antoine Predock in 1987. Villareal used mobile 3D scan technology to map both the inside and outside of the building, creating over 200,000,000 data points. The artist then manipulated the data points with his own custom software to create this public artwork. This is the first time Villareal has used actual data sampled from a location as part of an artwork.
