A Men’s Toy
Es así como tras haber adquirido gran experiencia al trabajar en Alexander McQueen, Jasmine Di Milo y Katarzyna Szczotarska, Zhang mejoró su propuesta concretando innovadoras ideas que hoy brillan en la industria de la moda londinense. Centrada en el blanco y el color marfil, su colección “A Men’s Toy” juega con la pureza en la confección inspirada por los automóviles sedán originales entre otros autos clásicos que evocan la estructura de cada prenda en torno a un concepto absolutamente novedoso en la moda actual.

Untitled Door and Door Frame
Robert Gober’s work focuses around the themes of sexuality, relationships, religion, politics and nature. Working mostly in sculpture, surprisingly Gober doesn’t use found objects as a part of his work, but recreates these found objects himself and handcrafts them in his studios. Objects such as sinks, doors, cribs, chairs and body parts feature heavily in his work but yet all meticulously handmade. All the objects and installations in which Gober creates have a certain humorous element to them be it the half body that sticks out from the wall or the sink that has legs coming out of it.

Delaunay Raster
Jonathan Puckey is a Dutch graphic designer who can script. He often uses Scriptographer, a scripting plugin for Adobe Illustrator, so that’s probably why he calls his work ‘conditional design’. ‘Delaunay Raster’ is a project with image vectorization based on Delaunay triangulation.

The Ruins of Detroit
“Detroit, industrial capital of the XXth Century, played a fundamental role shaping the modern world. The logic that created the city also destroyed it. Nowadays, unlike anywhere else, the city’s ruins are not isolated details in the urban environment. They have become a natural component of the landscape. Detroit presents all archetypal buildings of an American city in a state of mummification. Its splendid decaying monuments are, no less than the Pyramids of Egypt, the Coliseum of Rome, or the Acropolis in Athens, remnants of the passing of a great Empire.” Yves Marchand & Romain Meffre

Flowing water, Standing time
Montreal-based fashion designer, ying gao, designed robotic clothing out of silicone, glass and organza, and added electronic devices to create every-changing dynamic pieces that react to its surrounding chromatic spectrum. the collection, entitled ‘flowing water, standing time’ captures the essence of movement and stability over a period of time, and how different energies flowing through the garment, mirroring the colors in its immediate surroundings.

Der physische Geist
Der physische Geist ist Vonks Versuch, den Teilnehmern die Beziehung zwischen ihren physischen und mentalen Zuständen zu zeigen, indem sie physischen Druck auf den Körper ausüben. Die Installation besteht aus zwei aufblasbaren Objekten, zwischen denen sich ein Teilnehmer hinlegt, um anschließend angehoben und vorsichtig zwischen die Kurven der beiden Objekte gedrückt zu werden. Während das Heben ein instabiles Gefühl erzeugt, wird dieses stressige Gefühl bald danach dem sicheren Gefühl gegenübergestellt, sanft zwischen zwei weichen Gegenständen gedrückt zu werden. Neben dieser Erfahrung für die Teilnehmer ruft die Installation auch Empathie bei Zuschauern hervor, die miterleben, wie die Teilnehmer diese Erfahrung machen.

Aerial Assemblies
Self-Assembly is a process by which disordered parts build an ordered structure through local interaction. We have demonstrated that this phenomenon is scale-independent and can be utilized for self-constructing and manufacturing systems at nearly every scale. We have also identified the key ingredients for self-assembly as a simple set of responsive building blocks, energy and interactions that can be designed within nearly every material and machining process available. Self-assembly promises to enable breakthroughs across every applications of biology, material science, software, robotics, manufacturing, transportation, infrastructure, construction, the arts, and even space exploration.

Moving footbridge
Paddington, London
Opening in sequence, the bridge’s five beams rise to different angles to create a fan-like effect. The first rises to 70 degrees, while the last lifts high enough to create a clearance space of two and a half metres over the surface of the canal. The weight of the beams – which range from six to seven tons – is balanced by a 40 ton counterweight that keeps the beams steady as they rise and fall.
