TADAO CERN

Palloncini Neri
L’artista e fotografo lituano Tadao Cern ha creato un’installazione suggestiva, composta da più di 400 palloncini, disposti rigorosamente e geometricamente in molte linee. Intitolata ‘Black Balloons’, questa particolare composizione nasce dalla curiosità e dall’esperienza di Tadao Cern nel ‘collegare due palloncini’ e nel realizzare una nuova composizione uno per uno, che ha dato all’artista un processo creativo come un ‘gioco d’infanzia’ e poi si è trasformato in un esperienziale processo di creazione di un nuovo tipo di arte.

Sinosteel International Plaza
Sinosteel International Plaza è un nuovo punto di riferimento organico per la città riqualificata di Tianjin. Il concetto di design combina forma, struttura e simbolismo culturale in un motivo ripetuto: una facciata esagonale, che si moltiplica e cresce attraverso l’edificio. Questa facciata è composta da cinque diverse dimensioni di finestre esagonali, un elemento tradizionale nell’architettura cinese. Queste finestre scorrono attraverso l’edificio secondo uno schema irregolare e naturale, come le cellule che si moltiplicano. Questo dispositivo anima la facciata, creando un’immagine in continua evoluzione dell’edificio da ogni diversa prospettiva.

Gravity is dead
Using 3D modeling, Vincent Mauger creates a world that is firmly grounded in the tangible matter. Wood, concrete blocks, bricks, metal or polystyrene, these materials are worked beyond what we could assume from their materiality. more

DORETTE STURM

La nuvola che respira
“La nuvola che respira” è un monumentale organismo galleggiante. L’opera trasforma uno spazio con il suo movimento, la luce e la respirazione ritmica. Con questa arte leggera la frase “lascia che una stanza prenda vita” assume un nuovo significato. La pelle delle nuvole sembra fragile e morbida, ei movimenti sono ritmici, ma casuali, quindi l’intera stanza sembra un essere vivente. La tecnologia è progettata in modo che i potenti moduli LED e il meccanismo supportino la respirazione pervasiva. Diventa fisicamente più grande e più piccolo e abbraccia con il suo spazio di luce brillante.

DILLER SCOFIDIO + RENFRO

SLOW HOUSE

To either side of the “picture window” are two antenna-like stacks: the chimney is to the right, the video apparatus to the left. At the summit of the left stack sits a live video camera directed at the water view and feeding the monitor in front of the picture window. The electronic view is operable; the camera can pan or zoom by remote control. When recorded, the view may be deferred— day played back at night, fair weather played back in foul. The composite view formed by the screen in front of the picture window is always out of register, collapsing the opposition between the authentic and mediated.

CAI GUO-QIANG

Échelle céleste
La magnifique installation de l’artiste Cai Guoqiang a eu lieu en juin dans la ville de Quanzhou, dans la province chinoise du Fujian, au sud-est. Il a été réalisé à l’aide d’un gros ballon météo tirant sur une échelle de fil de 500 mètres de long parsemée de feux d’artifice et de poudre à canon, selon Yahoo News. C’était la troisième tentative de Guoqiang de créer Sky Ladder. En 1994, l’artiste a tenté un spectacle similaire, mais des vents violents ont empêché le ballon de décoller. Il a réessayé en 2001, lorsque Shanghai a accueilli le sommet de l’APEC, mais l’accès aérien restreint en raison des attentats du 11 septembre 2001 a signifié que l’installation de rêve de Guoquiang a de nouveau été suspendue.

Alain Séchas

Le Mannequin
Alain Séchas est intéressé par des questions de forme, d’équilibre et de couleur. Il pousse le public à la confrontation, à s’interroger, tout en nous proposant une réflexion humoristique sur la vie quotidienne. On pourrait le qualifier d’artiste plasticien puisqu’il utilise de nombreux outils et fait diverses installations intégrant plusieurs disciplines.

JEREMY SHAW

Verso Il Riconoscimento Universale
“Shaw presenta Towards Universal Pattern Recognition, una serie di fotografie d’archivio incorniciate sotto acrilico prismatico lavorato su misura. Le opere, che lui chiama sculture ottiche, raffigurano persone in stati trascendenti a cui si accede attraverso la preghiera, la danza, lo yoga e simili. Fungono da anteprima per i video, che vengono proiettati in spazi meticolosamente costruiti, ciascuno con otto sedie da ufficio che si affacciano su un unico schermo “. Diana Hiebert

Android Couture

Presented on the cusp of the new millennium, Alexander McQueen’s Autumn/Winter 1999 collection for famed French fashion house Givenchy captured the new fascination with personalized digital technology in popular culture. At the culmination of the show, two models appeared outfitted in molded Perspex bodices studded with flashing LED lights and glowing leggings patterned like computer chips. The creation of a digital aesthetic and its intimate application to the body—an android-like amalgamation of the physical and digital—anticipated the “wearables” trend and the formation of the digital self. Known for his exquisite tailoring, meticulous detailing, and ambitious collections, McQueen also represented one of the remaining visionaries of haute couture extravagance.

KATE COOPER

Rigged
A hybrid of consumer associations, ranging from the glossy iconography of the TV commercial and the sterility of video game graphics to the luminosity of the department store poster and the smell of freshly opened cosmetics, create a subconscious lure. Her use of CGI technology in her artistic practice surpasses a simple study of digital textures (think nostalgic glitch-making) to occupy a full-fleshed, hyperreal space, usually reserved to corporate giants in advertising or entertainment.
