ILLUMInations
В своем творчестве эта художница использует широкий диапазон средств коммуникации со зрителем. Ее работы интерпретируют будущее определенного места. Ее скульптуры, видеоарт и перформансы, и даже ее инсталляции – исследуют коммуникацию не как возможность дискуссии, а как попытку выработать свой собственный эстетический язык.

light installation at St. Paul
The first image in this post is from a work – the most interesting – by Nuit Blanche. Robert Stadler’s installation in the Saint-Paul Saint-Louis Church. Upon entering the church, through a side door, the public sees only large luminous spheres, which appear to be randomly arranged. When going to the center of the church, however, the spheres form a big question mark on the altar.

folding
Folding will irk those who view modern dance as a grounded form of ballet. But for those who consider the simplest gesture worthy of exploration as a dance, and who relish in costume design and the slow progression of what feels like figures in friezes breaking free from the confines of their molds, much like Michelangelo’s “slaves,” Folding is an enthralling, gorgeous sci-fi spectacle. The entire event carries a regal air, as if commissioned by Star Wars Queen Amidala.

“we would build the building literally two feet off center, and as we poured each form, slowly the building would come back to center. it’s an incredible engineering feat of both horizontal and vertical post-tension.” Buro Happold
Sabrina Ratté
Waterfall
Sabrina Ratté est une artiste vidéo établie à Montréal. Son travail est caractérisé par la création d’environnements virtuels générés par des signaux électroniques. L’électricité, comme matériel brute, est sculptée, manipulée et altérée numériquement pour renaître en une architecture vibrante et lumineuse. Ses oeuvres se situent à la limite de la science-fiction, à mi-chemin entre l’abstraction et le figuratif, l’utopie et la dystopie, l’architecture et le paysage. Elle travaille avec les divers aspects de la vidéo, tels que l’installation, le GIF animé, l’impression et la performance live.

Crystallographica
The futuristic curves highlighted the collection’s minimalistic inspiration. The unusual creations brought to mind robotic-like fixtures, while exuding elegance and grace. We fell instantly in love with the cold yet fascinating faceted dresses.

Can’t Help Myself
Constructed of a Kuka industrial robot arm, ‘Can’t Help Myself’ is programmed to do one thing: contain a viscous, deep-red liquid within a fixed area. When the blood-like substance pools too much, this activates the robot’s sensors causing the arm to swivel, flex, and shovel the liquid back to the center leaving splashes and smudges in its wake.
RASMUS MOGENSEN

XAVIER LE ROY
Self Unfinished
French choreographer Xavier Le Roy defies categorisation as a dance-maker, drawing on diverse influences from the worlds of science, performance art and contemporary dance.
In Self Unfinished (1998), Le Roy takes the audience on a journey of metamorphosis as he transforms into an extraordinary hybrid creature part machine, part alien, part human.
Employing all manner of physical devices, Le Roy creates a world of illusion that is as unsettling as it is transfixing.

Hardwired
FILE FESTIVAL
“Hardwired” consists of around 18,000 LED-lights that symbolize the transfer of knowledge. Individual luminous pixels connect and then disappear. In a process of constant transformation, new patterns, interrelations and complexities emerge.

Les Ventres
This story of “Les Ventres” (“The Bellies”) is a thought about our epoch, an ironic and critical vision of the food-processing industry. The agribusiness uses the scientific progress to make a profit, to the detriment of the public health. The story finds a place in a world polluted and denatured by experiments, where all men eat only giant snails. In this context, a man explores a giant empty shell which becomes the gate of hell.
