The Cage of Time

FILE 2024 | Installations
International Electronic Language Festival
Interactive installation that presents a kinetic instrument object and virtual reality glasses, functioning as a device that animates the illusion of the passage of time in virtual space. In the fabric of existence, time weaves a cage around our ephemeral moments, limiting our perceptions of the past, present and future. By embracing this paradox, we may discover that the cage of time becomes the crucible where the alchemy of experience transforms our understanding of existence.

SMSlingshot
The SMSlingshot est un lance-pierre numérique qui envoie des SMS colorés sur les murs, telles des billes de paint-ball. La recette est simple, ou presque : un vidéo projecteur, un lance-pierre en bois muni d’un pointeur laser et une radio à Ultra Haute Fréquence. L’utilisateur utilise le clavier du lance-pierre pour écrire son message, vise un mur et le bombarde. Son SMS s’inscrit dans une tâche de peinture colorée.

SMSlingshot
Der SMSlingshot ist eine digitale Schleuder, die wie Paintballs bunte Textnachrichten an Wände schickt. Das Rezept ist einfach oder fast: ein Videoprojektor, eine Holzschleuder mit Laserpointer und ein Ultrahochfrequenz-Radio. Der Nutzer schreibt mit der Schleuder-Tastatur seine Nachricht, zielt auf eine Wand und bombardiert diese. Ihre Textnachricht ist Teil einer bunten Lackierung.

Sunshowers

FILE FESTIVAL SP 2019
.
‘Sunshowers’ is the third in our series of real-time animation artworks. It is inspired by the opening chapter of Akira Kurosawa’s film Dreams which follows a young boy as he explores a forest and stumbles across a fox wedding (Kitsune no Yomeiri). Our piece explores ideas of animism and techno-animism by assigning life in the form of artificial intelligence to all of the objects, both natural and man-made, within the virtual world. The piece unfolds in real time with the characters themselves deciding which paths they will follow.

CBM 8032 AV
El proyecto CBM 8032 AV es una exploración de la belleza de los gráficos y el sonido simples, utilizando computadoras de principios de la década de 1980. Este trabajo trata sobre la ambivalencia entre una estética contemporánea y el uso de tecnología obsoleta y limitada de hace 40 años. Todo lo que se presenta dentro del proyecto podría haberse hecho ya en la década de 1980, pero se necesitaba el trasfondo cultural de hoy para generar las ideas artísticas que lo impulsan.

天堂之城
MVRDV的The Imprint是更大的天堂城市综合大楼的一部分，该大楼共有6栋建筑物，该大楼将提供全套​​娱乐场所和酒店景点，距离韩国最大的机场不到一公里。鉴于拟议的两座建筑物的计划–一家夜总会和室内主题公园–客户需要没有窗户的设计，而该建筑物仍与综合大楼中的其他建筑物结合在一起。

“Movrin’s main inspiration has always been his childhood, where tradition, God and meat were the subject of everyday life. As an only son of a butcher in a small Slovenian town, surrounded by woods and bears, his growing up marked him with a roughness that he transcends in his designs with a special kind of romanticism. In this hard provincial life meat became his medium of expression, as a child he would carve steaks in a way that would appeal to his bewildered eye. There were, however, also fresh issues of Vogue magazines in the house, brought from trips to Trieste, that stirred up his imagination.” Black Sheep

CBM 8032 AV
The CBM 8032 AV project is an exploration of the beauty of simple graphics and sound, using computers from the early 1980’s. This work is about the ambivalence between a contemporary aesthetic and the usage of obsolete and limited technology from 40 years ago. Everything presented within the project could have been done already in the 1980, but it needed the cultural backdrop of today to come up with the artistic ideas driving it.

After Party

(AI) infinite simulations

‘After Party’ is an animation about two young girls, Ada and Milica. They find themselves in a strange space where an adult party is happening. With every new simulation their personalities evolve in unpredictable ways: between Childhood and Adolescence, Refined and Savage. Our digital work consists of creating artificial environments in the form of real-time animation using our own custom software, where artificial intelligence characters interact with each other as well as with the virtual world that surrounds them. These pieces are usually inspired by stories or myths found in different cultures.

Paradise City
MVRDV’s The Imprint is part of the larger Paradise City complex of 6 buildings in total, which will provide a full suite of entertainment and hotel attractions less than a kilometre away from South Korea’s largest airport. Given the proposed programme of the 2 buildings – a nightclub and indoor theme park – the client required a design with no windows, yet one that still integrated with the other buildings in the complex.

Submission
De Vries pulls together the human psyche by exploding a head into a variety of architectural structures and representations alongside the technology we use to feed thought and communication.

KuBe
Designed by dutch studio MVRDV and danish firm ADEPT, the 3,200 square meter ‘house of culture in movement’ was completed for the municipality of frederiksberg as a focal point for both the immediate community, and also the wider area of copenhagen. The architects claim that the project is a new typology, blending theater, sport, and learning programs within a space that promotes an active lifestyle, regardless of age, ability or interest.

architecture – color

Echelle
Después de haber hecho sus estudios de Bellas Artes de Nîmes, seguido de Lyon, este joven artista se ha convertido rápidamente en un experto en pecados, metamorfosis, de todo tipo de elementos domésticos.
Es un diseño que se niega a la funcionalidad, jugando con los materiales y la producción de siluetas mutantes. Cuando Suzy Lelievre dibuja una valla de seguridad de una tienda, está es en papel. Una barandilla de protección puede perfectamente estar en yeso.
Suzy no toma ventaja de las cosas: cada objeto cotidiano se convierte en sus dedos en una forma incongruente. Produce figuras que están en la frontera entre el arte y el diseño.

Wearable Sculpture
He designs with meticulous attention to detail and longing for newness. Leather and wool are still his favourite materials. To get the effect of surprise he juxtaposes these two traditional materials with others, perhaps not typically associated with the textile industry. An important part of his design process is treating natural and synthetic fabrics with various methods, using heat, chemicals or other techniques, thus combining innovation and tradition.

Balancing Barn

The Balancing Barn is situated on a beautiful site by a small lake in the quintessentially English countryside. The building takes the form of a barn, updated with shiny metal cladding. The Balancing Barn aims to make people re-evaluate the countryside as well as make contemporary architecture accessible. In addition to this, it is both a restfull and exciting holiday home, boldly designed to provoke a gut response to architecture and nature over a short stay.

Que le cheval vive en moi
Marion Laval-Jeantet nous le montre. En février 2011, elle réalise une performance inédite : « Que le cheval vive en moi ». Devant public, elle se fait transfuser du sang de cheval. Puis ce sang ainsi mélangé est prélevé et lyophilisé, à partir duquel une collection de huit reliquaires est réalisée. La rencontre du sang des deux espèces a produit un objet d’art : le sang de centaure. La barrière entre les espèces a été levée, levé le noli tangere et abolies les catégories de la nature.

May B
May B, chorégraphié par Maguy Marin en 1981, n’en finit pas d’être. Plus de cinq cents représentations à ce jour. La pièce, étrange ballet-théâtre d’humains aux masques plâtreux fait le tour du monde depuis près de trente ans. Sans doute un fond de commerce pour la compagnie. Mais au-delà, cette pièce inspirée par l’oeuvre de Samuel Beckett est devenue un morceau culte d’anthologie de la danse contemporaine. May B est à nouveau en tournée à l’occasion du centenaire de la naissance de l’écrivain.“Ce travail sur l’œuvre de Samuel Beckett, dont la gestuelle et l’atmosphère théâtrale sont en contradiction avec la performance physique et esthétique du danseur, a été pour nous la base d’un déchiffrage secret de nos gestes les plus intimes, les plus cachés, les plus ignorés. Arriver à déceler ces gestes minuscules ou grandioses, de multitudes de vies à peine perceptibles, banales, où l’attente et l’immobilité “pas tout à fait” immobile laissent un vide, un rien immense, une plage de silences pleins d’hésitations. Quand les personnages de Beckett n’aspirent qu’à l’immobilité, ils ne peuvent s’empêcher de bouger, peu ou beaucoup, mais ils bougent. Dans ce travail, à priori théâtral, l’intérêt pour nous a été de développer non pas le mot ou la parole, mais le geste dans sa forme éclatée, cherchant ainsi le point de rencontre entre, d’une part la gestuelle rétrécie théâtrale et, d’autre part, la danse et le langage chorégraphique” explique Maguy Marin.

Ombre

Après des études d’art classique en peinture (école des Beaux-Arts) et en architecture (génie civil), Christophe Luxereau se consacre à la photographie à partir de 1986. Il travaille l’image numérique dès 1995 pour développer le thème de la relation à la machine électronique.

Cette relation établit de nouveaux codes, d’autres comportements et de nouvelles icônes. Le photographe est un cinéphile, famillier de la cyberculture et des maîtres de science-fiction, base de son univers visuel. Le monde, la mode, qu’il côtoie de façon professionnelle lui inspire des hybridations entre design et haute-couture.

Son travail porte ainsi une réflexion sur l’idée de la beauté artificielle véhiculée par la publicité cosmétique et de luxe. La pratique du graphisme 2D et 3D accentue la réalité virtuelle de ses créations. Toujours en prospection, chaque série est une étape, une expérience technique et esthétique.

Chacune de ses expositions donne lieu à une mise en espace des oeuvres pour immerger le spectateur au coeur de ses visions. Ainsi il créé mobilier, ambiances sonores et lumineuses sous forme de sho-room pour société robotique ou chapelle dédiée au culte de ses madones.

waelice

“On ne peut pas laisser aux gens le simple rôle de payeurs” affirme Jean-Louis Frechin. Waelice en est une traduction, à mi-chemin entre l’œuvre d’art et l’objet interactif.

Ce système interactif de modules lumineux, reliés entre eux au sein d’un réseau informatique, forment une constellation au gré de la volonté de l’utilisateur. Les modules sont dotés d’une adresse IP, et l’utilisateur peut intervenir sur chacun d’eux afin d’en modifier l’intensité lumineuse et la couleur, et ainsi créer des combinaisons uniques et poétiques.

Cette action peut se faire à distance via un smartphone ou directement par une simple commande gestuelle, le luminaire étant équipé de capteurs permettant de lire les mouvements
