Onformative
Poiché la consapevolezza della realtà è soggetta all’individuo, »Frammenti di RGB« è un esperimento nella deformazione di questo fenomeno attraverso l’interazione e la proiezione di punti luce. Quando lo spettatore si avvicina a uno schermo illusorio, il contenuto cambia per alterare e dissolvere la realtà percepita.
»Frammenti di RGB« sperimenta la percezione e l’illusione a vari livelli. Il classico schermo a LED come supporto è stato simulato e successivamente disintegrato creando un’ottica pixel-like utilizzando una semplice proiezione anziché generare l’intera immagine da singoli punti luce.
Benjamin Sack
Infinite Cityscapes
Sack’s work explores architecture as a flexible medium capable of expressing the unique space between realism and abstraction; where interpretation and our ability to create meaning is in flux. Within this space, Sack, furnished with pen and ink, encapsulates both the infinite and infinitesimal. His work invites the eye to explore drawings of the “big picture,” to gaze into a kaleidoscope of histories and to look further into the elemental world of lines and dots.
MATHIEU MERCIER
Lamps, furniture, bicycles, typography, museum plinths: Mathieu Mercier’s artistic creation moves masterfully between the categories of art and everyday culture, reflecting the concepts of twentieth-century Western culture, particularly those of the modern age, in the area of conflict between architecture, design and art.

Nomadic Plants
Vegetation and microorganisms live in symbiosis inside the body of the Nomadic Plants robot. Whenever its bacteria require nourishment, the self-sufficient robot will move towards a contaminated river and ‘drink’ water from it. Through a process of microbial fuel cell, the elements contained in the water are decomposed and turned into energy that can feed the brain circuits of the robot. The surplus is then used to create life, enabling plants to complete their own life cycle. As Gilberto wrote in our email conversation, “The nomadic plant is a portray of our own species. It also deals with the alienated transformation of this new hybrid species that fights for its survival in a deteriorated environment.”

Gray Nightmares
Grey Nightmares” is the name of a personal collection in which different subjects have been studied, the ones I have been involved in for the last couple of years. The subjects include, loneliness, death, nihility, downfall, pain, wait … though the main characters of this collection are the people who are looking for a way out of their limbo so that it can be a relief for them.
AKATRE
Cheval de troie
«Одна голова хорошо, а три – лучше!» – пожалуй, эта слегка видоизмененная поговорка могла бы стать неплохим девизом для ребят из дизайн-студии Akatre. Вот уже 6 лет молодые французские дизайнеры плодотворно работают вместе.
Дизайн-студия Akatre – это трое молодых дизайнеров: Valentin Abad, Julien Dhivert и Sebastien Riveron. Сфера их деятельности – графический дизайн, типография, фотография, а также видео- и фото-инсталляции. Год назад ребята из Akatre отметили пятилетний «юбилей» деятельности выпуском книги о своем творческом пути, вышедшей в издательстве Gestalten. Ребята познакомились еще в художественной школе. Далее последовали небольшие совместные проекты, а по окончании обучения всем им удалось год поработать в качестве ассистентов в нескольких известных дизайн-студиях Парижа. Через год у них появилась своя «точка» – студия Mains d’Œuvres – этот момент можно назвать профессиональным рождением Akatre.
«Все эти годы мы придерживались одной и той же установки: гордиться тем, что мы делаем для каждого клиента и получать удовольствие от работы», – делится один из участников Akatre, – Каждый наш новый проект начинается с обсуждения: мы устраиваем небольшие собрания, чтобы наметить основной план действий. Далее мы расходимся, и каждый обдумывает собственные идеи. Когда же мы приходим к общему мнению относительно проекта, настает момент решать, кто из нас троих возьмется его курировать.
Нет какой-то определенной сферы, которая бы особенно вдохновляла молодых дизайнеров – кажется, им интересно все: современное искусство, концептуальное кино, хореография, музыка и архитектура…У Akatre большие планы на будущее: на повестке несколько интересных проектов, в том числе ряд выставок и фотосет для настоящей пантеры.

Colored sculpture
“Colored Sculpture” is a work in animatronic that becomes a mechanical theatre, with its spectacular performance brings us reflections on a dark past that we want to reject.“With a highly polished appearance, the work is suspended with heavy chains from a large mechanized gantry, programmed to choreograph his movements. The sheer physicality of the installation, which fills the entire space of the gallery and includes the work being hoisted and thrown hard on the floor, viscerally obscures the distinction between figuration and abstraction, in addition to promoting the formal and narrative possibilities of sculpture. “

RUÍDO/SINAL (Ruído Visual e o Fluxo Infinito de Dados) – Argentina
“Todo ambiente tem um ruído de fundo dominante. Tudo que se destaca visualmente será um sinal” — Jorrit Tornquist.
Convivemos com desinformações, bombardeio de informações e distrações constantes, criando um ambiente caótico e sobrecarregado. Este projeto interpreta metaforicamente o ruído visual como uma representação do fluxo infinito de dados em que estamos imersos, convidando à reflexão sobre como navegamos neste mar de dados e a sua influência em nossa percepção e compreensão do mundo.

Milo Moire
FLUID ECSTASY
by Peter Palm
is an artistic underwater video work by Peter Palm, which he realized on the island of Mauritius with the conceptual artist Milo Moiré. Filled with a naive sexuality, this short film lasting just under six minutes reveals surreal, grace-filled perspectives on the female nude. Beneath the surface, within the concealing element of water, nothing remains concealed.
The title “Fluid Ecstasy” describes a trance-like, natural bliss in the flow of merging.
“Fluid Ecstasy” presents a metaphysically ambivalent ambience that documents our prenatal state of becoming in the form of a visual metaphor. In an analogous notion of being, “being” is understood as that in which everything partakes, though in various ways. The origin of all life lies in water. Peter Palm shows the nude Milo Moiré in a peaceful world, comparable to our “being” in the womb prior to our birth.
Both Milo Moiré and Peter Palm have done without technical aids, with one exception … flippers, which make reference to the metamorphosis from fish to Homo sapiens.
The video was created during numerous dives.
