Marguerite Humeau
Echoes
Marguerite Humeau’s design is used to explore the means by which knowledge is generated in the absence of evidence, or in the impossibility of either reaching or analysing the object of investigation. Humeau weaves factual events into speculative narratives, therefore enabling the unknown to erupt in grandiose splendour. The work is presented as a series of live science fictions: semi-real, synthetic, supernatural events.

Conversation Bubble
At any given moment of time five people are needed to inflate the structure. While the bodies of participants are squeezed and immobilized between two layers of clear vinyl, their heads can move and talk inside the inflated bubble. The duration of the piece depends on the five people’s agreement to end it, as no one can leave on his/her own accord.

x-mal Mensch Stuhl
Konzentrieren Sie sich auf den x-mal Mensch Stuhl, die Installation der deutschen Künstlerin Angie Hiesl! Jedes Mal erfordert diese Arbeit eine Person im Alter von 60 bis 70 Jahren, einen weißen Metallstuhl, der an der Seite eines anderen Gebäudes befestigt ist, und natürlich ein Publikum, das nur überraschen kann! Die sitzenden Menschen üben weltliche Aktivitäten wie Zeitung lesen oder stricken aus, außer dass sie sich hier 6 Meter über dem Boden befinden und für alle um sie herum unpassierbar bleiben. Der Wunsch und das Aber des Künstlers ist da, um eine andere Vision eines Ortes zu vermitteln, den Passanten zu gut kennen, und das Mindeste, was wir sagen können, ist, dass es funktioniert, der Beweis …
SAMANTHA DONNELLY
Саманта Доннелли
Samantha Donnelly’s practice is concerned with breaking down subjects and reconfiguring them in new constellations. Bringing together appropriated ephemera and quotidian materials such as magazines or cut-out photographs to produce assemblages, Donnelly reworks material remnants from various areas of contemporary culture, allowing them to dialogue and resonate within the same piece. By drawing our attention to surface and formal elements such as composition and colour, Donnelly’s work often references art history, particularly Modernism and the Baroque.

Christoph Keller
CLOUDBUSTER PROJECT
German artist Christoph Keller’s Cloudbuster Project was installed yesterday on a roof of the Blackett Laboratory, as part of the Royal College of Art’s Again For Tomorrow exhibition. The installation re-enacts an invention of psychologist Wilhelm Reich that he claimed could influence the atmosphere and make clouds burst into rain.

Hype Cycle
Machine Learning
Set in a spacious, well-worn dance studio, a dancer teaches a series of robots how to move. As the robots’ abilities develop from shaky mimicry to composed mastery, a physical dialogue emerges between man and machine – mimicking, balancing, challenging, competing, outmanoeuvring.
Charlie Behrens
Algorithmic Architecture
This short film is intended to encourage a creative audience to seek out Kevin Slavin’s talk Those Algorithms Which Govern Our Lives. It employs an effect which takes place in Google Earth when its 3D street photography and 2D satellite imagery don’t register correctly. This glitch is applied as a metaphor for the way that our 21st century supercities are physically changing to suit the needs of computer algorithms rather than human employees.

Lukasz Wierzbowski
O fotógrafo polonês tenta sempre explorar a interação entre a modelo e a locação para obter um resultado fascinante.
Wierzbowski tenta expressar através do caos que cria, uma série de sensações já vividas pelo espectador, apesar da composição inusitada de cores, mobiliários e modelos aleatoriamente posicionadas. Ele parece mostrar predileção por casas que parecem terem sido habitadas por avós, o que provavelmente causa ao telespectador essa sensação de um surreal déjà vu.

320 degree licht
L’installation «320° Lumière» du groupe artistique URBANSCREEN, implanté à Brême, utilise comme point de départ la beauté et le caractère de cathédrale du Gazomètre pour créer un jeu fascinant de volumes et de lumière. Des motifs graphiques se développent et se transforment dans un rayon de 320 degrés sur la paroi intérieure du Gazomètre d’une hauteur de 100 mètres. Le spectateur assiste alors à une alternance entre un espace réel et un espace virtuel, le Gazomètre semble se dissoudre dans ses propres structures filigranes pour finalement retrouver continuellement sa forme distincte. «320 ° Lumière» est réalisée à partir d’une technologie de projection Epson. L’installation couvrant une surface de 20 000 mètres carré fait partie des projections intérieures les plus grandes et en terme de technique les plus complexes.

Beach Birds
dance
Cunningham said of his choreography for “Beach Birds“, “It is all based on individual physical phrasing. The dancers don’t have to be exactly together. They can dance like a flock of birds, when they suddenly take off.” A work for eleven dancers, the rhythm for “Beach Birds” was much more fluid than other Cunningham dances, so that the sections could differ in length from performance to performance. John Cage composed the music, and painter Marsha Skinner provided the costumes and décor.
Susan Hiller
Psi Girls
Psi Girls is a video installation composed of five scenes from feature films depicting girls or young women manipulating telekinetic powers to move or destroy household objects. Hiller selected short excerpts from The Fury (1978) directed by Brian de Palma, The Craft (1996) by Andrew Fleming, Matilda (1996) by Danny De Vito, Firestarter (1984) by Mark Lester, and Stalker (1979) by Andrei Tarkovsky. Each excerpt has been enlarged, tinted with a different colour, and heavily edited by Hiller. Certain scenes have been slowed down and others spliced and looped so that each clip has an identical running time of two minutes. The only footage presented in its entirety is that taken from Tarkovsky’s film Stalker. The scenes are synchronised and play simultaneously along a single wall. Psi Girls was commissioned by the Delfina Foundation, London, in 1999. The word ‘Psi’ in the title refers to paranormal or psychic faculties.

Take Out – Chopsticks Mirror
“Take Out – Chopsticks Mirror” verwandelt ein vertrautes Essgeschirr in ein Porträtelement. Obwohl das Kunstwerk von Natur aus mechanisch ist, versucht es, ein Porträt des Betrachters zu reflektieren, indem es die Fluidität seiner Bewegung widerspiegelt. Das resultierende Porträt ist ein interaktives Bild, das Rozin untersucht durch den Zwang eindimensionaler linearer Objekte. Dieses Stück fungiert als Experiment mit Interaktion jenseits der Reflexion und lädt zu Reaktionen des Stücks selbst (Gesten der Freundlichkeit, Erschrockenheit, Zurückhaltung) sowie generativer Routinen ein 480 Essstäbchen Drumming sind in Zusammenarbeit mit der Komponistin Tamar Muskal arrangiert.
