Turandot
.
Robert Wilson and Puccini
This new encounter between his powerful visual universe and Puccini’s evocative music was bound to be an outstanding event. Carried out by a brilliant cast of singers, dominated by Irene Theorin as Turandot, Gregory Kunde as Calaf and Yolanda Auyanet as Liù, this magnificent production is conducted by the Teatro Real’s associate musical director Nicola Luisotti – and has been met with universal acclaim.

Enignum Shelf XIII
“In the Enignum series of work, I have stripped wood into thin layers, manipulating and reconstructing them into free form compositions. I then shape through these layers to reveal not only the honesty of the structure but the sculpted form which is a unique collaboration of man and material. The title derives from the Latin words Enigma (‘mystery’) and Lignum (‘wood’), for me they sum up the series: the mystery of the composition lies in the material.”

The Ninth Hour

“Una delle opere più note di Cattelan, La nona ora rappresenta Papa Giovanni Paolo II che muore a terra dopo essere stato bloccato da un meteorite. L’immagine mediatica del papa è amplificata nella scultura con la sua espressione di sofferenza. Il titolo del il lavoro allude al momento in cui Cristo grida: “Perché mi hai abbandonato? “e muore in croce. Maurizio Cattelan fa cadere sfacciatamente una meteora a somiglianza di Papa Giovanni Paolo II. Sembra suggerire che anche l’uomo più santo della tradizione cattolica romana possa non essere al sicuro dalla sfortuna. L’opera è stata interpretata in vari Alcuni lo leggono come un commento sulla reputazione della Chiesa cattolica di nutrire scandali sotto la sua superficie morale. Altri lo hanno visto come un suggerimento che anche le sedi di potere più consolidate possono diventare vulnerabili. La Chiesa è un’istituzione stordita e cambiata dal nostro sempre più mondo secolarizzato. Il Papa potrebbe essere un simbolo di resilienza e reinvenzione; una chiamata a trovare nuovi linguaggi affinché la fede e la cultura perenni sopravvivano e si adattino “.

Algae Window
Algae window is an arrangement of glass spheres mounted in a wall. Directly behind the wall and the spheres is a window; vivid, miniature, inverted views of the scene outside the gallery thus appear in and inhabit each sphere. The composition of the work closely resembles the structure of one type of the single-celled algae known as diatoms, which remove large amounts of carbon from the atmosphere.

Ralph Baer

Magnavox Odyssey
Even if you’re a devoted fan of video games, there’s a decent chance you’re not familiar with the name Ralph H. Baer. This should be considered gamer high treason considering Baer’s importance in creating the concept of home video games and the vast, varied entertainment ecosystem now built upon them. Despite being the one to push the dominoes toward an industry that currently makes billions of dollars annually, the bulk of the gaming community has largely forgotten about him.Now a 91-year-old widower, the German-born Baer is the inventor of the Magnavox Odyssey, the world’s first video game console. The Odyssey is predated in the games-on-screens space only by experiments like Willy Higinbotham’s Tennis for Two and the coin-op dud Computer Space. But Baer also has a long and distinguished record as an engineer and inventor. The list of patents and gadgets in his name encompasses surgical-cutting equipment, “muscle-toning pulse generators,” submarine-tracking radar systems, video simulations for trainee pilots, talking books and talking doormats, iconic ‘80s toys like SIMON and Laser Command, and even launch displays and a lunar-resistant camera grip for the Saturn V and Apollo 11 space programs.

COCOON
Alice Anderson’s giant installations created out thousands of feet of red colored doll hair are a thing of wonder. Selected for its relationship to her own bright red hair, Anderson selected the material to refer to her childhood where she invented rituals based around her hair to calm her anxieties when left home alone. Draped over buildings, walls, and every imaginable surface, Anderson’s work is just as much about reinterpreting an everyday material as it is about coming to terms with the ghosts of her youth.

Der südkoreanische Architekt Moon Hoon hat dieses wirklich verspielte Haus namens Conan Residence geschaffen. Jedes Detail, das in einer konventionellen Struktur eines Hauses besteht, wurde von koreanischen Architekten komplett überarbeitet, damit dieses Haus Spaß macht. Die Fassade und alle Details dieses Hauses sind verspielt. Die Vorderseite könnte an die Form einer stilisierten Schnecke erinnern, während der rote dreieckige Eingang Sie gleichzeitig in ein entspannendes Zuhause und ein Spielzimmer einlädt.

ReCollection – China | United States

ReCollection is an interactive installation that uses artificial intelligence to construct synthetic collective visual memories from natural language input. The work blurs the line between memory and imagination through experimental visualizations and AI systems, prompting reflection on how narratives of memory are shaped by emerging technologies.

AZUMA MAKOTO

Système Environnemental Encapsulé
Cette machine est entièrement équipée d’une machine à brouillard comme pour envelopper les plantes dans un brouillard des deux côtés et d’un système d’alimentation en eau goutte à goutte qui peut être activé en fonction de la situation afin de maintenir l’état d’une plante et de contrôler la température et l’humidité intérieures. De plus, la forme cylindrique peut capturer entièrement la lumière naturelle à des angles de 365 ° depuis les verres, et elle peut correspondre à la croissance des plantes en ayant la plus grande échelle de hauteur de la série. Les ventilateurs au plafond jouent le rôle du vent et une plante peut écouter la musique des haut-parleurs étanches. La machine absorbe des éléments essentiels – pluie, vent, lumière et son – par des moyens artificiels et complète un petit monde où son cycle écologique est condensé. Cela nous permet d’admirer la beauté des plantes en n’étant pas affecté par l’environnement extérieur.

Atmospheric Reentry

Die Atmospheric Reentry Collection untersucht die Bedingungen und Formen des Ätherischen. Ausgehend von der einfachen Frage, wie es sich anfühlt, eine Wolke zu tragen, hat Maiko Takeda eine Reihe skulpturaler Kopf- / Körperteile geschaffen, die die Grenzen des umgebenden Raums für den Träger verwischen und versuchen, die traditionellen Erwartungen an Kopfbedeckungen zu übertreffen. Die Ästhetik der Sammlung ist inspiriert von der futuristischen Stimmung von Ton und Bild, die aus Robert Wilsons 1976er Produktion von Philip Glass ‘Oper Einstein on the Beach stammt. Maiko bevorzugt die Verwendung unkonventioneller Materialien, wobei jedes Stück eine sorgfältige Zusammenstellung von Hunderten von stacheligen federähnlichen Einheiten aus klaren Acrylscheiben, farblich abgestuftem Film und silbernen Biegeringen darstellt, die sich auffächern, um eine Dichte und Leichtigkeit zu erreichen Umgeben Sie den Träger mit einem bunten, leuchtenden Dunst.

Networked Ecosystem
In Networked Ecosystem, natural phenomena have been replaced by digital and artificial systems as forces that drive development: Electricity/battery = sustenance, WIFI signals = nutrition, Lidar data = fire/heat. Data Organisms populate this digital ecosystem as native life forms in the form of bots, AI’s, and avatars. Visitors to this networked landscape develop new kinds of digital senses to experience data as environmental changes, and interact with the simulated world and each other in an ever-changing online environment.

Формы II
Смонтировать аудио
Forms – это серия совместных фильмов, созданная лондонской креативной звуковой студией Mount Audio. В рамках текущего проекта Mount каждый месяц объединяется с ведущими визуальными художниками для создания уникальных аудиовизуальных работ. Forms II демонстрирует яркую работу дизайнера из Лос-Анджелеса Брайанта Николса. Деформированные фигуры художников изгибаются и искажаются, вращаясь друг вокруг друга, образуя абстрактные человеческие структуры. Вдохновленный альтернативной реальностью Брайанта, Маунт создал полностью синтезированный саундтрек с богатыми, модулирующими текстурами, чтобы создать тревожную атмосферу. Эффект снотворный, но дезориентирующий.

Broken Flower
Liquid Nitrogen

Throughout his career, Shireman has maintained a connection with flowers in decay; in other still lifes, he has cataloged the wilting of tulips and mums. This series, unlike those previous, is brutal and instantaneous. Where his other flowers underwent a slow, gradual death, these broken flowers are quickly frozen and violently ruptured. The process captured here is not a natural one but one that necessitates the use of a manmade element.
