EGO

FILE 2024 | Installations
International Electronic Language Festival

The mirror stage in psychology explains how the Ego forms through objectification, where one’s visual appearance comes into conflict with emotional experience, a concept called ‘alienation‘ by psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan. The interactive installation EGO reenacts and reverses this process by distorting the mirror image based on the user’s movements, highlighting the tension between the real and the symbolic, the Ego and the It, subject and object.

Bio

Klaus Obermaier is an interdisciplinary artist, director and composer who creates innovative works in the performing arts, music and installations using new media. Stefano D’Alessio researches social issues induced by the internet and explores how the web and its derivatives influence human behavior and the body. Martina Menegon creates intricate assemblages of physical and virtual elements, exploring the contemporary self and its hybrid corporeality.

Atomos

Atomos grows out of the smallest unit of matter. Bodies, movement, film, sound and light are atomised into miniature shards of intense sensation.Ten incredible dancers perform the unique style of Wayne McGregor – sculptural, rigorous, jarring and hauntingly beautiful. McGregor is accompanied by a team of sensational artists including longtime collaborators lighting designer Lucy Carter and filmmaker Ravi Deepres, and neo-classical ambient composers A Winged Victory For The Sullen.

Torus
Directed by British fashion photographer Nick Knight of SHOWStudio, Torus is a film on human connection and loneliness featuring choreography by Wayne McGregor and styling by Norwegian designer Fredik Tjærandsen. Performed by Company Wayne McGregor, Torus shows dancers wearing inflatable balloons designed by Tjærandsen, orbiting in darkness as isolated entities, occasionally lit as they transition through a temporal universe, a mirror to the life that many are only passing through, barely connecting.

Der Eidolon spaltet sich
Der Eidolon spaltet sich untersucht die Konstruktion menschlicher Form und Identität in einem narrativen Bereich. Es reflektiert und verkörpert den Bildschirm als Portal und Kontaktfläche sowohl als physisches als auch als virtuelles Gerät.

The Entropy Gardens
.
The Entropy Gardens is an artistic VR experience that explores one of humanity’s most archetypical artforms – garden making. It challenges its myths, aesthetics and modes of perception. Like a garden, The Entropy Gardens attempts to become a spatiotemporal poem — a poetic organism. In the form of a sprawling journey it constructs a hermetic, virtual garden as a poetic ecosystem — a psychic landscape that is foremost a complex audiovisual experience. It admits the visitor into a place that is equally challenging and contemplative (and of course profoundly weird).

Автобиография
Автобиография – это абстрактная медитация на аспекты личности, жизни и письма, нелинейный подход к истории жизни, отражающий как воспоминания прошлого, так и спекулятивные перспективы. МакГрегор работал с танцорами из своей компании в 2017 году, чтобы создать хореографию из старых произведений, личных воспоминаний, произведений искусства и музыки, которые были важны в его жизни. Из этих элементов были созданы 23 секции материала движения, отражающие 23 пары хромосом генома человека. Затем хореографические события из 23 секций были введены в алгоритм, основанный на генетическом коде МакГрегора.

The Eidolon Splits
The Eidolon Splits explores the construction of human form and identity within a narrative realm. It reflects and embodies the screen as a portal and contact surface both as a physical and a virtual device.

The Russian fashion rebel Yegor Zaitsev presented an avant-garde collection which was surprisingly romantic.
Yegor took classic silhouettes extended them, volumized them, turned them upside down and made them into works of art.

Netykavka #1
Netykavka – minimalistická interaktivní instalace přímo inspirovaná dílem avantgardního umělce Anthony McCalla a jeho pracemi vytvařenými ze světelných paprsků. Jedná se o rekonstrukci jedné z jeho “světelných soch” s přidanou schopností reagovat na dotyk.

Triptych
FILE ANIMA+GAMES RIO 2015
Lauren Gregory’s work has been described as primal — drawing from the vocabulary of early human cave paintings, she instinctually always paints with her fingers. Working quickly in oils, she records surprisingly precise images of her live portrait subjects, commemorating the tenderness of their brief human connection.

Autobiography
Autobiography is an abstract meditation on aspects of self, life and writing, a non-linear approach to a life story refracting both remembered pasts and speculative futures. McGregor worked with dancers from his company in 2017 to create choreography from old writings, personal memories, pieces of art and music that have been important in his life. From these elements, 23 sections of movement material were created, reflecting the 23 pairs of chromosomes of the human genome. The choreographic events from the 23 sections were then fed into an algorithm based on McGregor’s genetic code.

sound design: Alexander Martinz
“when you are close to me I shiver” is an algorithmically controlled live simulation, a real-time generated virtual reality that takes place in a version of the future in which humans, out of desperation, gather in masses on the last remaining piece of land. Inspired by the walrus scene in the documentary “Our Planet” narrated by David Attenborough and produced by Silverback Films, the project proposes an intense scenario encompassing our environmental and personal crises. It reflects on how we identify and connect ourselves in different realities while addressing the human condition in a world in ecological and therefore social crisis. On the tablets, virtual cameras scan the environment from various point of views, like surveillance drones. On the main screen, a similar camera randomly targets and focuses on different situations while a familiar voice-over narrates the tragic story.

Spanish artist Sergio Prego was born in San Sebastian in 1969. Prego works in many different fields of mediaincluding video, photography, performance art, installation, and sound. His work attempts to transform therelationship between space and time in order to distort the way we comprehendthem.

Rest von Schwarz
Artista con base en Bremen, Alemania, sus esculturas figurativas son fácilmente reconocibles por su tendencia a representar chicos en posiciones agresivas, incluso violentas, que protagonizan circunstancias desconocidas de las que, como una imposición de sentimiento, nos hace partícipes. Sus personajes se congelan en el movimiento, como si más que una escultura estuviéramos ante una fotografía.

OUTROSPECTION
This project has taken as a starting point the concept of “Outrospection” initially introduced by philosopher Roman Krznaric, where he proposes that in order to know oneself one must live towards the outside, it is be experiencing life that one discovers and shapes oneself. I have appropriated his concept while relating it to out-of-body experiences more commonly known as astral projections, by seeking to represent -in a metaphorical way- the mind being projected inside out of the body as a way of self-expresion and representation.

FAR
Wayne McGregor’s anatomy-defying choreography and ground-breaking approach across dance, science, film, music, visual art and technology has fuelled a string of truly unique works. FAR is no exception. Inspired by the controversial Age of Enlightenment, FAR mines an era that first placed ‘a body in question’. Ten incredible dancers confront the distortions, sensuality and feeling of the 18th Century‘s searing contemporary sensibility to a haunting score by the critically-acclaimed composer Ben Frost. Staged in a mesmerizing environment of shadow and light (rAndom International, Lucy Carter), object and film (Moritz Junge, Ravi Deepres), FAR binds cutting edge design with choreography made from a radical cognitive research process.

OUTROSPECTION
Ένα project τελείως διαφορετικό απ’ τα άλλα έρχεται από τον Κολομβιανό σχεδιαστή μόδας Daniel Ramos Obregón. To θέμα με το οποίο έχει καταπιαστεί είναι οι διαφορετικές έννοιες του «εαυτού». Μέσα από την τρέχουσα εργασία του, όπως έχει πει και ο ίδιος, θέλει να εξερευνήσει τα όρια και τη σχέση ανάμεσα στη μόδα, τη γλυπτική και την απόδοση των τεχνών μέσα από μια εννοιολογική, αισθητική και πλήρως φορεμένη άποψη.

Tree of Codes
Tree of Codes opens with a magical world: a pitch-black stage with moving lights decked out on the costumes of unseen dancers. It could be a starry constellation or fragments of a city as seen from an aeroplane at night, or a group of robots powered by a playful AI operating system. more…
