eXistenZ
cinema

David Cronenberg’s eXistenZ is a creepily downbeat near-future techie thriller, starring Jennifer Jason Leigh as Allegra Geller, the super-cool games designer, who has just unveiled “eXistenZ”, a game you plug directly into your neuro-system and play in the infinite cyberspace of your mind.

Tornou-se hoje um dos mais expressivos representantes do espírito vanguardista dos anos 1960, tanto no Brasil, quanto no mundo. Sua ideia central é popularizar o objeto de arte e introduzir a participação do público. Além disso, uma de suas características são as críticas irônicas ao sistema de arte,

Attachment
This poetic machine prints your message and a code on a sheet A6, slips it into a biopolymer cylinder attached to a balloon, which is finally released into the air. Then, the balloon will travel haphazardly to a potential recipient.
Where did the idea come from? The basic idea was to take a stand against the current use of «smart» technologies by creating a poetic concept, using current technology that allows us to communicate differently and rediscover expectation, the random, and the unexpected.
For the record, I have always been attracted by what is in the air and remember having won a balloon release contest when I was about ten years old. My balloon flew from Switzerland to Austria, this definitely left an impression on me and perhaps influenced the idea of this project.

Museum Motus Mori
Een choreografie voor het sleutelbeen, een dans van navel, buikvet en ribbenkast, de anatomie van een zucht. De Duitse choreografe Katja Heitmann (1987) gaat met haar dansers voor Marres een fysieke tentoonstelling maken. Museum Motus Mori; een museum voor bewegingen die met uitsterven bedreigd worden. Heitmann is gefascineerd door het efficiëntie-denken.Voortschrijdende technologie stelt de mens in staat haar leefwereld verregaand te ‘optimaliseren’. Zal de mens uiteindelijk zichzelf optimaliseren? Zullen bewegingen die in onze controlemaatschappij nutteloos of inefficiënt zijn verdwijnen? Kunnen we die menselijke beweging vastleggen?

Maxime Guyon & Benoît Jeannet

Guyons’ still life photography is his strongest and most explored work, where graphics, media art, and digital manipulation are all amalgamated to create striking and realised pieces. Evidentially each aspect of his work is measured and deliberate– that’s not to say though that spontaneity isn’t an element of his process.

Ethereal Fleeting
A series of clouds is generated by a machine-like sculpture. They appear, float over the surrounding environment and then dissolve into thin air again. The delocalization of this instant of natural beauty evokes a surreal experience. The installation forms a juxtaposition of a metallic structure and synthetic imitations of clouds. This supposed contrast between human technology and nature is explored in a space of unseen possibilities for symbiosis.

Moth in B-Flat
“Moth in B-Flat is the most minimal expression of this moment, which in music could be identified as a pause, an offbeat, or a bridge-a passage that breaks with the previously established pattern and leads to a new movement.” Rudolf Frieling

TransVision
Through three perceptual machines, TransVision questions the habitual ways in which we interpret and understand the visual world intervened by digital media, and how technology mediates the way we perceive reality. We have observed an increase in allergies and intolerances in modern society. Hypersensitivities are emerging not only medically but also mentally. Digital media reinforce people’s tendency to overreact through the viral spread of information and amplification of opinions, making us hypersensitive to our sociopolitical environment. By creating an artificial allergy to the color red, this machine manifests the nonsensical hypersensitivity created by digital media. In nocebo mode, red expands, which is similar to social medias amplification effect; in placebo mode, red shrinks, like our filtered communication landscape where we can unfollow people with different opinions.

Ring (do/undo/redo)
Auf Initiative der Stadt Leipzig wurde die Installation für einen Partizipationsprozess und die Zusammenarbeit mit mehreren lokalen NGOs und Aktivisten mit den Schwerpunkten Jugend, Zukunft und Nachhaltigkeit geöffnet. Die während des Prozesses erarbeiteten Ideen und zwei Workshops, die im Juni und August in Leipzig stattfanden, haben sowohl den Videoinhalt als auch die endgültige Definition der Wand beeinflusst.
