LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEM (AKA. THE FARM)
This artistic provocation seeks to estimate the orders of magnitude of critical ecosystem services fundamental to all planetary life processes. This experiment consists of 1 square meter of wheat, cultivated in a closed environment. Critical inputs such as water, light, heat, and nutrients are measured, monitored and displayed for the public. This procedure makes palpable the immense scale of ecosystem contributions, and provides a speculative reference for a reckoning of the undervalued and over-exploited “work of the biosphere.”

SATELLITES
“By 2020, it is predicted some 6000 satellites will be orbiting the earth. From climate monitoring to communications, satellites are functioning to open up new horizons for us all. Our proposal for the Dubai Expo UK Pavilion, SATELLITES, aims to articulate and celebrate Britain’s unique contribution to this remarkable milestone, demonstrating how imagination, innovation and collaboration can change and improve lives around the world.” Steven Chilton Architects

торнадо
Вихрь высотой 10 футов образуется воздуходувками и ультразвуковым туманообразователем внутри скульптуры, установленной в атриуме, примыкающем к Зимнему саду. Вихрь постоянно менял форму в ответ на окружающие потоки воздуха, что придавало вихрю беспорядочный и естественный вид. Зрителей поощряли изменять форму вихря руками. Спокойное центральное ядро вихря отчетливо видно. Интерактивные научные проекты Кана не оставляют сомнений в его знании метеорологических процессов. Благодаря своим огромным техническим способностям он демонстрирует универсальность турбулентных систем, таких как вихри ветра и воды. Он использует различные механические, пневматические и электрические технологии для проектирования, строительства и совершенствования своих установок. Так он создает ослепительно сложные, но исчерпывающие образы природы, которые откликаются на зрителя, соответствуют архитектурным структурам и раскрывают условия окружающей среды.

THERE IS A GHOST
BOB WILSON
Os retratos em vídeo tomaram forma em 2007, após mais de dois anos de trabalho de Wilson com a VOOM HD Networks […] Eles são repetidos em rotação contínua para não ter um começo e um fim, criando uma obra de arte em quadros. O resultado final no monitor é semelhante ao de uma fotografia. Os “retratos”, que duram de 30 segundos a 20 minutos, parecem imóveis, mas os personagens realmente realizam pequenas ações – um movimento simples, um piscar de olhos, um toque no pé – que ampliam o potencial narrativo do retrato tradicional, aproximando-o da história cinematográfica, sem perder a aura de fixidez icônica que caracteriza o retrato pictórico de todos os tempos.
Anna Horcinova
INposition
In the photo project INposition (2013), which was shot by a Hasselblad 501CM camera, she’s using playful manipulation of physical fragments to express existentialism or the limits of body and mind. Anna Horcinova staged her models – mostly dancers in physically difficult dance poses expressing an emotional state of mind together with a gesture. And with the help of the body she tries to cross the imperceptible boundaries between her subject and the world around it.

Uncertain Facing
Uncertain Facing es una instalación audiovisual interactiva basada en datos que tiene como objetivo representar la incertidumbre de los puntos de datos cuyas posiciones en el espacio 3D se estiman mediante técnicas de aprendizaje automático. También intenta plantear preocupaciones sobre la posibilidad del uso no intencionado del aprendizaje automático con datos sintéticos / falsos.

La risa de la barriga
La risa de la barriga es lo que sucede en una situación de umbral, en el momento en que sus entrañas se sacuden y chocan entre sí. En el espacio vacío que se crea justo encima del estómago cuando te revuelven las entrañas. Este movimiento de balanceo hacia arriba y hacia abajo dibuja un camino similar a una sonrisa. Nunca se instala en la misma posición, sino que estalla en una risa voluble y vivaz y se complace en expandirse fuera de sí mismo, lejos de cualquier centro. Donde se pierde el control y se restablece la inestabilidad. Mar Reykjavik estudió Bellas Artes en la Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, especializándose en imagen en movimiento, instalación y acción.

Descension
A pool of dark water swirls in a terrifying spiral, never stopping, never emitting light. It looks black and bottomless. It is the whirlpool to end all whirlpools – a spooky mixture of the vortex that sucked down the Pequod and an illustration from Stephen Hawking’s latest work on black holes. Yet this awe-inspiring phenomenon is an exhibit in an art gallery – the latest sublime spectacle from Anish Kapoor.

Algae Window
Algae window is an arrangement of glass spheres mounted in a wall. Directly behind the wall and the spheres is a window; vivid, miniature, inverted views of the scene outside the gallery thus appear in and inhabit each sphere. The composition of the work closely resembles the structure of one type of the single-celled algae known as diatoms, which remove large amounts of carbon from the atmosphere.

Calculations, permutations and notations
LAb|au| developed a transdisciplinary and collaborative approach based on different artistic, scientific and theoretic methods, examining the transformation of architecture and spatio-temporal structures in accordance to the technological progress within a practice entitled ‘MetaDeSIGN’. Metadesign [ meta = information about information ] displays the theme of space-constructs relative to information processes – architecture as a code. It concerns the transposition of inFORMational processes in n-dimensional form.

Intérpretes: Joan Cerveró, piano

A major figure in the modernist movement of the twentieth century, American composer Henry Cowell is celebrated for his avant-garde style and tireless advocacy of contemporary music.
Even in his early compositions, Cowell did something entirely different—instructing the performer to play a range of neighboring notes all at once by holding down the hand or forearm, known as the “tone cluster.”

ondulation
We enter a room and are plunged into semi-darkness. The room is dominated by an immense basin of water, ripples radiating across its surface in concentric rings. Intuitively we know that the sounds around us are closely related to the ripples, a fact reinforced by the water’s reflected movements on the surrounding walls through a sophisticated play of light. As we get closer, it becomes clear that the sounds are emanating from speakers concealed under the basin, the source of the ripples on the water’s surface. The water acts as a medium in the sense that it acts as middle ground: stimulated by the sound and swept by the beams of light, it produces richly evocative reflections. A latent photographic metaphor is at play in the installation: the water seems to take on the properties of a sensitive plate, with the sound imprinted upon it and revealed by the movement and stunning reflections projected on the walls.
