Dis-Armor Project
Dis-Armor is the newest in a series of psychocultural prosthetic equipment designed to meet the communicative need of the alienated, traumatized, and silenced residents of today’s cities. It connects contemporary research in two fields: wearable communi- cation technology and prosthetics. In doing so, it counters the dichotomy of the present explosion in communication technology and rampant cultural miscommunication. Dis-Armor offers an opportunity for indirect, mediated communication by allowing its users to speak through their backs. LCD screens, worn on the back, display live images of the wearer’s eyes transmitted from cameras installed in the helmet covering the face. A speaker positioned below the LCD screens amplifies the user’s voice. Attached to the helmet is a rearview mirror, alternatively, a rearview video camera, monitor, microphone, and headphone. These permit the user to see the face and hear the words of the spectator/interlocutor standing behind. Wireless video equipment installed in the helmet further allows two users to work in tandem, showing each other the other’s eyes and broadcasting to each the other’s voice.
PENELOPE SLINGER
Penny Slinger is a surrealist artist. She produced 50%-The Visible Woman (1971) and An Exorcism (1977), two collections of powerful and haunting collages. Her 2D collages and 3D installations incorporated images and lifecasts of herself. Her media during this period included pencil and paint, printmaking, life casts and other 3-dimensional constructions, as well as photography, film and collage.

DNA (genes)
A gene is a sequence of DNA that contains genetic information and can influence the phenotype of an organism. Within a gene, the sequence of bases along a DNA strand defines a messenger RNA sequence, which then defines one or more protein sequences. The relationship between the nucleotide sequences of genes and the amino-acid sequences of proteins is determined by the rules of translation, known collectively as the genetic code. The genetic code consists of three-letter ‘words’ called codons formed from a sequence of three nucleotides.

canary
Canary (Finnish: kanarialintu) is a bodily fantasy about hypersensitivity. The title alludes to birds that coal miners took down with them to serve as an indicator of the level of toxity in the air. When the bird died, the mine was deemed dangerous for humans as well. In the performance, the bird is replaced by hypersensitive human bodies that celebrate imperfection and confusion.

ניק נייט הוא אמן אנגלי נהדר, כמעט הגורו של תקשורת עכשווית. לא הכרתי אותו לפני שראיתי את התוכנית האחרונה של אלכסנדר מקווין שכותרתה האטלס של אפלטון. אחרי שחקרתי קצת, גיליתי שאני היוצר של מספר עצום של תמונות, שאני מכיר ונראה כמעט על ידי כולנו.
Adriana Vignoli
Paisagem Feita com Grãos de Pedra
Adriana Vignoli cria objetos que transitam entre o desenho, a escultura e a instalação. A artista utiliza predominantemente materiais como o vidro, a terra, a pedra e o metal. Ela vem elaborando uma poética de coisas simples, “autônomas e utópicas”, que conectam o arcaico ao presente, ou mesmo, confabulam um futuro. Suas obras se envolvem por temáticas do tempo, da paisagem, da arquitetura e também do construtivismo. São influências advindas de Brasília, cidade em que nasceu e vive atualmente.

Tristan trains the camera on a stoic Jana, using various visual effects to modify the footage in concert with the music. Put another way, the band’s camp says the video is about “appreciating our modern society’s rampant technological advancements while reconciling its ability to encroach to traumatizing effect. ”

Dopo il dottorato, il mondo del boom di Internet “dot-com” era più attraente del mondo accademico, quindi Tom è diventato uno sviluppatore web specializzato in sistemi di gestione dei contenuti di e-commerce. Negli ultimi dieci anni Tom ha lavorato per una varietà di agenzie in Scozia e ora lavora attualmente alla 55 Degrees di Glasgow, specializzata in mostre museali interattive e produzione video. Tom si considera un “programmatore creativo”, un tecnico che apprezza anche l’estetica. Il suo sito, subblue.com, è dove scrive programmi e plugin che esplorano la grafica matematica e generativa. Ove possibile, questi esperimenti sono interattivi e hanno il codice sorgente disponibile per il download. L’esposizione del suo sito e dei plug-in Photoshop e After Effects che ha rilasciato hanno portato alla creazione di copertine di libri, video musicali e immagini di scena.

Grid Structure
Influenced by constructivism and post-minimalism, Alois Kronschlaeger plays with colors and angles to produce a kinesic effect in the works that are part of the series “Polychromatic structures. These WORKS by Kronschlaeger require the active participation of the viewer, as that on one side is something that is transformed by just moving a few steps to the right or left.
