Nothing has changed as radically in the last few decades as the technology we surround ourselves with on a daily basis. Modern means of communication let the world shrink to a pocket size Global Village. Medical technology promises life beyond its natural limits. Robotics, cybernetics and developments in the field of artificial intelligence put the equally fascinating as disquieting idea of artificial life within our grasp. Nanine Linning’s new production SILVER addresses the intimate – and increasingly intrusive – relationship between the human and the technological, showing the beauty of its aesthetics, but also questioning its promise of ever increasing progress and self-improvement.

Aoife Wullur designs work that discusses technical transparency, authenticity, and human experience. Essentially, it is conceptual design with a technological touch. Wullur’s work takes a close look at our rapidly growing tendency to surround ourselves with all kinds of devices that we do not understand technically even though we use them on a daily basis. In response, she has created what she calls ‘Slow Electronics’, an approach that reflects on our behavior and shows the sensibility and beauty of technical transparency in design. For her SHADES OF LIGHT and LIGHT DIVIDER project, she has developed a new way of interweaving electronics and fabric.

I work digitally, combining images of fabricated and artificial flora and fauna with graphic elements and commercially produced products such as processed food, domestic goods and pharmaceutical products. I look at how these seemingly unrelated and absurd groupings and composites begin to address attitudes and understandings of the contemporary experience. I represent the natural world through completely unnatural elements to speak metaphorically and symbolically of our mental separation from what is “real”, and compare and contrast this with the consumer world we surround ourselves with as a consequence.
