The Entropy Gardens
.
The Entropy Gardens is an artistic VR experience that explores one of humanity’s most archetypical artforms – garden making. It challenges its myths, aesthetics and modes of perception. Like a garden, The Entropy Gardens attempts to become a spatiotemporal poem — a poetic organism. In the form of a sprawling journey it constructs a hermetic, virtual garden as a poetic ecosystem — a psychic landscape that is foremost a complex audiovisual experience. It admits the visitor into a place that is equally challenging and contemplative (and of course profoundly weird).

ВИКТОР ЭНРИХ
The artist definitely made a strong impression on the world of visual arts with his concepts. The ideas behind all his illustrations are very strong and full of substances, and manage to grasp the attention of the public from the first second. Aside from that, he also sends other, more subtle messages, regarding his own perspective upon the world, how he deems everything as possible for those who believe and who understand the power of imagination etc. The works of Victor Enrich really are something special, and worth taking a closer look. Without further ado, we invite you to admire the results of his restless imagination, his bold symbolism and his courageous approach to life and the world around us.

Up Sticks
‘Up-Sticks’ is an informal turn of phrase dating back to at least the 19th Century to express leaving your home in haste. It is thought to originate from the rough cut, unseasoned timber frame architecture of the Scottish croft designed for temporary occupation. These sticks from which the croft was partly fabricated were of great value and were taken and reused when the household moved on. Up-Sticks is an expressive timber structure that twists and curves using only spruce wood planks and beech wood dowels. No glue or nails were used to hold the planks in space; it is the hygroscopic behaviour of the dowels, which shrink and swell according to their moisture content, and their computationally defined position that lock all planks into position. Up-Sticks was assembled from large elements all prefabricated in the Robotic Fabrication Laboratory at ETH Zurich, the largest of its kind in the world.

The Sea Nymph
Сделанная из дерева, ткани и веревок, «Морская нимфа» представляет собой полноразмерную модель парусника, которую Джошу Бекмену удалось втиснуть в небольшое галерейное пространство. Корма корабля накренилась, нос ушел под воду, и совершенно очевидно, что «Морская нимфа» терпит бедствие. Единственное, но немаловажное НО: роль океана в этой инсталляции выполняет дощатый пол галереи.

CYLINDER (SOUND SCULPTURE)
“Cylinder” surgió de un deseo de crear objetos complejos que partiesen de los abrumadores detalles que tiene la naturaleza. Andy Huntington y Drew Allan querian crear formas generadas algoritmicamente de una forma rápida usando técnicas capaces de esculpir objetos extremadamente complejos. Sin embargo, en lugar de utilizar código para generar la complejidad, se dedicaron a capturar la complejidad natural que nos rodea.

BARACK OBAMA: NEXT INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
This monumental 3D Printed sculpture is the three-dimensional materialisation of President Obama’s voiceprint. The 3D voiceprint portrays an extract of President Obama’s February 2013 State of the Union Address. It represents the materialisation of the very thoughts and words of the President of the USA. The sculpture is interactive. A movement sensor activates the system and a laser beam scans the 3D recording to reveal the President’s words and message. The work was printed using a 3D desktop printer and the housing designed by Patrick SARRAN.

Der in Moskau geborene Arzt wurde zum Avantgarde-Künstler. Leonid Tishkov ist mit seiner mobilen Kunstinstallation „Private Moon“ um die Welt gereist und erzählt die Geschichte eines Mannes, der den Mond getroffen hat und für immer bei ihr geblieben ist, sagt Tishkov. Das Projekt erfasst eine Reihe stilisierter und sentimentaler Fotografien von sich selbst mit einem großen künstlich beleuchteten Halbmond, die an verschiedenen Orten in China, Neuseeland, Taiwan, der Arktis und Frankreich aufgenommen wurden. „Der Mond ist ein leuchtender Punkt, der Menschen aus verschiedenen Ländern, verschiedenen Nationalitäten und Kulturen zusammenbringt – und jeder, der sich in seiner Umlaufbahn befindet, vergisst ihn nie. es gibt Märchen und Gedichte in unserer prosy und kaufmännischen Welt. “

SAM BUXTON
Electric Chair
The distinctive work of Sam Buxton is dominated by his innovative use of advanced materials and technologies. From his immensely popular MIKRO series (miniature fold-up sculptures, laser cut into thin strips of stainless steel through an acid etching process) to his explorations concerning interactive intelligent surfaces on the familiar objects around us, his work has continually managed to blur the lines between art, science and design.Through his work, which has regularly involved relatively common objects ranging from business cards to a dining table, Buxton has demonstrated an ability to see potential in what others take for granted. His on-going efforts in developing objects that can communicate, display information and react to the actions of the user, demonstrate his commitment to investigating the delicate relationship between the human body and its environment. Buxton’s fusion of art and science has resulted in a highly innovative and unique range of personal designs, many of which, have utilized the latest, most advanced materials and technologies available.

RAPPORT Structures spatiales expérimentales
MAYER H. Architects travaille sur les interfaces entre l’architecture, la conception de la communication et les nouvelles technologies. L’utilisation de médias interactifs et de matériaux réactifs joue un rôle central dans la production de l’espace. En équipes coopératives, des installations au design urbain en passant par les concours internationaux, une recherche spatiale multidisciplinaire sur la relation entre le corps, la nature et la technologie est développée et mise en œuvre

ECTOPLASMATIC HOUSING
File Festival
‘Ectoplasmatic Housing’ aims to speculate about how architecture can mediate the pervasiveness of the contemporary ‘infocalypse’ age. An architectural experiment of physical and digital space through the use of interactive design and augmented reality.
Browsing through a domestic safari of Trojan savannas or sterilised virus forests while contemplating the emergence of thousands of cheap-friends-facebook flowers blossoming among the pulsating cocoons of dying obsolete apps… Quantum reality theories are ripe for the picking from wiki branches of tweeting pink daily hit dwarfing trees…
Ectoplasmatic Housing aims to speculate about how architecture can mediate the pervasiveness of the contemporary ‘infocalypse’ age. It cultivates data for a spatial interactive second nature manifestation. It grows, blossoms, dies and haunts. Overlayed with the physical this unstable ectoplasmatic nature may shift radically into a rapid nuke ecology of nightmares.

Tornado Warning
Tornado Warning, draws from the filmmaker’s early memories of the tornado alerts in his childhood town of St Louis, Missouri. The piece contrasts an orderly space of grids and numbers with a chaotic environment of found images cut from old films, news footage, and the Internet. Ordinary objects fly around an empty room, swirling abstractions dominate the walls, and distorted bodies dance over images of radio waves. Seemingly in motion, the space of Tornado Warning appears unruly, alarming, violent and relentless.

“Ich bin nicht daran interessiert, in einer Fantasiewelt zu leben”, sagte Woods 2008 gegenüber der New York Times. “Alle meine Arbeiten sollen immer noch echte architektonische Räume hervorrufen.” Was mich aber interessiert, ist, wie die Welt wäre, wenn wir frei von konventionellen Grenzen wären. Vielleicht kann ich zeigen, was passieren könnte, wenn wir nach anderen Regeln leben würden. “

Polytope
“Polytope” is a lightweight, tractable structure that engages the visitor in a space-bodily investigation. It is rigid and at the same time, tractable. A void which takes space. Its volume is juxtaposed and re-arranged through the action of the visitor.
Empyrean
Empyrean: In ancient cosmologies, the Empyrean Heaven, or simply the Empyrean, was the place in the highest heaven, which was supposed to be occupied by the element of fire (or aether in Aristotle’s natural philosophy). The word derives from the Medieval Latin empyreus, an adaptation of the Ancient Greek empyros (ἔμπυρος), meaning “in or on the fire (pyr)”
Empyreum (The Divine Comedy, Gustave Doré )
The Empyrean was thus used as a name for the firmament, and in Christian literature for the dwelling-place of God, the blessed, celestial beings so divine they are made of pure light, and the source of light and creation. Notably, at the very end of Dante’s Paradiso, Dante visits God in the Empyrean.
