Two Moon
A travers ses dessins, ses installations et ses courts-métrages, Moon Hoon expérimente, fusionne, mélange, explose, et tente toutes les techniques possibles dans le but de briser les codes et les limites imposés dans l’architecture. C’est pourquoi son travail est reconnu à l’échelle mondial et est présenté lors d’expositions collectives et solo dans de nombreux musées comme La Biennale di Venezia (Venise) ou encore l’Arko Art Center et le Musée d’Art Moderne et Contemporain de Séoul.

Clone Chaise
A Chaise Clone é uma espécie de espreguiçadeira luminosa que possui a forma anatômica de um ser humano, ela possui um detector que é capaz de dizer quando tem alguém sentado nela. A partir desse detector ela interage com o usuário conforme a sua respiração e batimentos cardíacos.Os designers estão cada vez mais integrando tecnologia de ponta com seus projetos para produzirem criações inovadoras. Uma das coisas mais comuns hoje em dia é ver trabalhos que lembram filmes de ficção cientifica, e a Clone Chaise é um ótimo exemplo disso. Ela foi criada pelo designer britânico Sam Buxton que apresentou o seu projeto no Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, ele diz em seu site que essa é apenas a primeira edição da cadeira de seis que ainda estão por vir.
A cadeira consegue detectar quando uma pessoa está sentada nela, e as luzes começam a acender conforme isso acontece. Dessa maneira o coração digital e os pulmões da cadeira começam a funcionar. É como se a cadeira ganhasse a vida quando está junta de um ser humano.
A Clone Chaise tem um design bastante criativo, ela é feito com aço, acrílico e alguns equipamentos eletrônicos para produzir a luz quando a cadeira detecta as pessoas que estão sentadas nela. Essa cadeira mede 600 x 750 x 1.850 milímetros, um tamanho mais do que o suficiente pra maioria dos seres humanos.
maurizio cattelan
blind
It’s an image that evokes a moment in history seared into our collective consciousness. This is “Blind” by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan. The sculpture of an aircraft spearing a towering monolith recalls the 9/11 attack on New York’s Twin Towers. The simple black pillar carries a heavy meaning. It’s the final artwork in a new Milan exhibit called “Breath Ghosts Blind”.

Ascent
Ascent is a large-scale site-specific light installation that embodies a variety of archetypical and physical associations – from microscopic observations, electromagnetic wave dynamics, and atmospheric phenomena of a whirlwind to a spiritual epiphany. Most importantly, Ascent offers a unique immersive experience, that invites the viewer to become its central point, and transforms the perception of the viewer on a sensual level. The light and the fog create a monumental dynamic space that is participatory, the space that opens up a new dimension and directs the attention toward the bodily sensations in the explicit environment. The viewer is free to approach the work according to its own sensual response, but direct interaction can offer the potential to evoke a new perceptual imagination.
YING GAO
Living pod
file festival
Light, shape variations and mimicry meet in Living Pod. In front of the false twin pieces, the user can slowly set garment A in motion using a light source. Garment B then imitates piece A in an exaggerated and unbalanced fashion, changing structure through miniature electric motors activated by light sensors that are sown through the garment. Using flat-pattern cutting techniques, Ying Gao was able to give the process fluidity and flexibility. In addition to the mechanical movements of the garments, Living Pods underlines two fundamental aspects of today’s fashion system: confrontation and imitation. The garment plays a mediating role between man and his environment. By using light, Living Pod is similar to project Walking City, which uses air to make the pieces look like they are breathing.

Untitled: (A Search for Ghosts in the Meat Machine)
What does it mean to be human? At first glance a simple question, the idea of being human is an unstable construct, continuously recrafted. Recent technological innovations allow us to redesign ourselves profoundly— from networked prosthetics and artificial intelligence, to the genetic code of life itself. Can our behaviors be reduced to algorithms? Can our bodies be upgraded with nonorganic integrations? Can sentience itself by manufactured in a lab? This set of nine sculptures examines personhood from anatomical, psychological, genetic, biochemical, behavioral, algorithmic, personal narrative and memory. In many ways, this installation is an emotional confrontation with being quantifiable.
KATY HEINLEIN
Snake Eyes
Katy Heinlein’s exhibition Snake Eyes challenges the sublime possibilities of symmetry, and indulges in the humor, awkwardness, and flustered physicality that comes with disrupting that symmetry. Heinlein fashions pragmatic materials like wood and aluminum into nimble structures, ready to be wrapped and draped in costumes of brightly colored cloth. Like dressing for a night out, the works take on a very human folly: the effort to conceal, emphasize and seduce.

S.A.M. The Symbiotic Autonomous Machine
As machines gain more autonomy and importance in human life, they are still given no agency in our society. Could a legalization of their status create a shift towards a more collaborative relationship with humans? S.A.M. 1, 2 & 3 are a Symbiotic Autonomous Machines challenging those ideas. It employs water kefir grains or kombucha to produce a beverage, acting as small scale automated food production systems.
BAT STUDIO
слышал слова
Интерактивная инсталляция, создающая современный кабинет писцов (писцов) от BAT Studio. Когда посетители входят, их слушает микрофон. Когда посетители говорят, их слова транскрибируются рядом принтеров, разбросанных по комнате. Каждый раз, когда кто-то говорит, устройства немедленно разворачивают записанные слова и распечатывают их на потоках бумаги. Со временем пространство заполняется бумагой.

Бруно Метра и Лоренс Джинсон
Talented French duo of photographers Bruno Metra and Laurence Jeanson experiments with our visual perception. Using sticky tape, cuts from fashion magazines and human portraits they create a new form of facial expressions. After watching few works in a row your mind starts working as usual and you easily adopt the new transformed face as it is.

Terraforming
The video work “terraforming” focusses on the transformation of a natural environment through energy input. The underpinning idea is that of three phase system change. This begins with the stage of equilibrium where a system is in a certain balance and not changing at all. In the next stage an evolving system enters a state of motion and change where it moves away from equilibrium. The third and final stage is the phase of transformation in which the original system becomes something else. The key element in this transformation process is the sun. This process is called terraforming, whereby a hostile environment, i.e. a planet that is too cold, too hot, or has an unbreathable atmosphere, can be altered to make it suitable for human life. Such a process is not merely a futuristic scenario but represents exactly what is happening on Earth at this moment as the process of atmospheric change brought about by increasing CO2 emissions heats up our planet and speeds up the process of climate change.

RuShi
如是 (RuShi) means “as is”. Nothing more or less, but the true colors. It’s a piece of contemplative immersive installation art, where in using the ancient Chinese metaphysic algorithm, “八字” (BaZi). Yet take out all the extra cultural signs & materialistic interpretations, remain only the “Basic”, i.e. the 5 elements (gold/ wood/ water/ fire/ earth). Participants type in their date & time of birth, the fortune-telling algorithm turns out showing only the unique ones’ flow of colors. We can see no prediction of life from this machine, but only time & changes.
