Windswept – Austria
Planet-like structures emerge and vanish again, kept in motion by a force that stirs space and time like the wind. Horizons appear and dissolve — everything is shifting and morphing…

After earning his medical degree, he worked as an emergency doctor. As the foundation of his work, uses camera recordings, which he processes through AI. His visuals are moving paintings — where colors and structures are not frozen on a canvas but come to life.

On Framing Textile Ambiguities
The installation On Framing Textile Ambiguities is the output of a critical investigation on social and technical developments that led to the current local technological situation. As a series of machines, the installation presents itself as a group. They share the same thread and are made from the same components. Each machine is build around a frame, through which the thread is running. Though they are finding various meanings in the encoding due to differences in the widths of the frames.

genesis
זה סוג של פסיכולוגיה הפוכה. במקום להציג קרחונים נמסים, תחנות כוח המשחררות עשן ובעלי חיים שטופים בנפט, סבסטיאו סלגאדו מתעורר מהפוגה של יותר מעשר שנים ללא תערוכות גרנדיוזיות כדי להתריע על הבעיות הסביבתיות החמורות ביותר, תוך התמקדות בדיוק במה שעדיין יפה ולא נגוע. מטרתו של צלם העיתונות היא לעורר את התפיסה שעדיין יש הרבה מה להציל על כוכב הלכת שמתעקש לשמור על נופים שופעים וחיים למרות כל ההידרדרות שמביאה הפעולה האנושית.

SOL
SOL is a minimalistic environment, leading visitors into the reaches of their perception. The installation builds on loss of control, shifts in awareness and a feeling of dislocation and timelessness. SOL is the third work in an ongoing series of phenomenological environments, after the live performance FEED, 2005 and the installation ZEE, 2008. The all encompassing darkness of SOL is lifted, in intervals and for parts of seconds only, by animated bursts of intensely bright light. Falling back into darkness, visitors experience abundant retinal after-images, that gradually drift away until eventually the next eruption of light is triggered. In the surround sound-scape of SOL, electronic drones mix with swarming field recordings, amidst a sea of infra-bass.

lace works
Her making focuses on feminine objects and materials. Lace, veils, undergarments and hair adornment speak not only of womanhood, but also of the duality of human nature. Lace speaks of purity and sexuality, it reveals and conceals, it is humble, yet gluttonous in its ornamental overindulgence; lace is the ultimate dichotomy.

D-tower
Lars Spuybroek has been researching the relationship between art, architecture and computing since the early 1990s. He received international recognition after building the HtwoOexpo in 1997, the first building in the world that incorporates new media and consists of a continuous geometry. With his Rotterdam-based office NOX he built the D-Tower, an interactive structure changing color with the emotions of the inhabitants of a city (in collaboration with Q. S. Serafijn), and the Son-O-house, a public artwork that generates music by visitors exploring the space (in collaboration with Edwin van der Heide).
