Stones Against Diamonds
The pictures for the film were taken in isolated glacial ice caves in the South East region of Vatnajökull in Island. The work was inspired by a passage from a letter taken from the anthology Stones Against Diamonds, written by the modernist architect and designer Lina Bo Bardi.
NELO AKAMATSU
Chozumaki
CHOZUMAKI di Nelo Akamatsu è costituito da un recipiente di vetro riempito d’acqua. Un piccolo magnete alato che ruota sul fondo della nave produce un vortice. Le minuscole bolle provocano suoni curiosi quando vengono inghiottite nel vortice. Gli spettatori sentiranno questi suoni attraverso un tubo a spirale a forma di condotto cocleare. Esistono innumerevoli vortici nell’universo, inclusa l’enorme rivoluzione della galassia e anche lo spin minimo degli elettroni. Hanno tutti una struttura frattale che sembra essere uno degli elementi fondamentali dell’universo. L’acqua ha un altro ruolo importante in questo lavoro. In numerose culture è associata alla purificazione. La vista e il suono del vortice d’acqua che cambia continuamente forma ricorderà agli spettatori di attraversare il confine tra il mondo fisico e il mondo psicologico e amplierà la loro percezione degli organi vitali.
Jeremy Shaw
Индекс фазового сдвига был создан как повествовательное предвидение будущего социального развития и выдумки возможных будущих сценариев развития человечества в постчеловеческую эпоху. Визуальный материал семиканальной кино-, звуковой и световой инсталляции Шоу снял в эстетике прошлых технологий звукозаписи. Люди из разных эпох танцуют, выполняют ритуальные и катарсические движения, пока синхронный взрыв цвета и звука не вызовет прорыв в неожиданную цифровую трансформацию, синхронизируя все в параллельное переживание реальности. Создается ощущение приостановки времени.

21 Swings
L’installation 21 balançoires est de retour dans le Quartier des spectacles. L’oeuvre interactive et musicale permet aux passants de s’unir pour créer une mélodie unique. Derrière ce projet, maintes fois primé, se cachent deux artistes québécoises, Mouna Andraos et Melissa Mongiat. Les deux jeunes femmes viennent d’ailleurs de remporter le concours d’art public pour le nouveau Planétarium Rio Tinto Alcan. Avec l’ouverture d’un bureau à New York et un nouveau contrat au Minnesota, les deux Montréalaises se préparent tranquillement à prendre la planète d’assaut.Pour la troisième année consécutive, les gens pourront se balancer sur la Promenade des artistes tout en composant une symphonie originale. L’installation 21 balançoires, d’une superficie de 30 000 pi2, est une création du studio Daily tous les jours, fondé par Mouna Andraos et Melissa Mongiat, en 2010.Si la musique produite par ces balançoires est éphémère, l’installation ne l’est pas, ce qui oblige ses créatrices à poser un regard critique sur leur oeuvre chaque printemps. «Il y a des bons et des mauvais côtés à notre forme d’art, avoue Melissa Mongiat. On peut prendre un certain recul, une fois le projet démonté.»

Ballet Preljocaj
AND THEN, ONE THOUSAND YEARS OF PEACE
And Then, One Thousand Years of Peace is a huge, ambitious monolith of a work. First created by Angelin Preljocaj for the Bolshoi Ballet in 2010, it takes inspiration from the vision of apocalypse conjured by St John in the biblical Book of Revelation.There are no horses galloping across the stage or horned beasts. But Preljocaj sets himself a barely less daunting task: choreographing the essential meaning of apocalypse, as a cataclysm so profound it lays bare the very essence and history of human nature.Preljocaj launches his work with a shattering opening sequence. Ten women drive through hard, slicing, geometric formations; lights flash, electro-percussive music reverberates; and the air becomes as thick and swarming as a tropical thunderstorm as the movement accelerates towards its convulsive climax.Out of this intensity emerges a Garden of Eden tranquillity, where men lope and flutter in delicately animalistic moves, and two women in white tunics play like lazy cherubs.

小故障艺术是一种新类型，如今在数字艺术时代越来越受欢迎。 故障肯定是我们许多人一生中至少经历过的一次，您被技术所包围。 这是系统中的暂时性故障，会产生失真的图像。 根据有关毛刺艺术的简短介绍的伊曼·莫拉迪（Iman Moradi）的定义，毛刺艺术有两种类型。 一种是“纯毛刺”，它是随机，真实和适当制作的。 Szauder的作品在哪里归类为“小故障”，因为这些作品是经过计划和设计的，因此它们是人造的。

EN GENERAL LA FOTÓGRAFA REALIZA ESTAS INSTANTÁNEAS CON EL FIN DE ENCONTRAR LA CONEXIÓN A LA TIERRA EN LA QUE NO PERTENECES. “ESTAR EN UN HOTEL PUEDE SER MUY AGRADABLE”, EXPLICÓ, “PERO CUANDO USTED ESTÁ VIAJANDO CONSTANTEMENTE SÓLO ERES UNA PERSONA ANÓNIMA, UNA LLAVE CON UN NÚMERO. ESTE PROYECTO ERA UNA MANERA DE CONVERTIR EL ESPACIO EN UN LUGAR MÁS ÍNTIMO”.

Lawrence Lek
Unreal
Lawrence’s accompanying soundtrack is a delicate lattice; complex, opaque and entirely synthetic. Diva’s yearning vocals, sung in English and Mandarin, cast classical melodies over billowing, intricately arranged songs. Her voice is created with a Vocaloid voice synthesiser, giving it an uncanny feeling. Her confessional lyrics draw empathy from the listener, as she reveals her fears of becoming an irrelevant influencer, obsolete in a machine-driven age.
The lead single ‘ unreal’ is launched with a harrowing video adapted from the film.
ALLORA & CALZADILLA
АЛЛОРА И КАЛЬСАДИЛЬЯ
Never Mind That Noise You Heard
Through sculpture, photography, performance, sound and video, Allora and Calzadilla’s works have been informed by questions of mark making, traces, and survival in a way that is simultaneously conceptual, metaphorical and spatial. Their understanding of material and metaphor as a couple is crucial; for them a material is never simply self-evident in its meaning, it is always marked with histories, cultures, and politics that are at once irreducible to and indivisible from the material in question. Another recurrent trope in their work is that of animality, and its unstable relationship to the realm of the human. Most recently, they have created a series of works that explore the interplay between militarism and sound in the context of today’s global state of war.
