Imagine human bodies and faces physically altered with a shocking but artistic realism. Globules of foam, asymmetric spines… fascinating and repugnant simultaneously, the pictures become even more disturbing because they don’t hint at the emotional state of the subject. Each transformed human looks blankly back at you, neither horrified or surprised or excited about their change of form, but merely present and allowing it to be shown to you.

Yann Marussich
Bleu Remix
In his spectacle-installation Bleu Remix, Yann Marussich returns to a theme originally explored in Bleu Provisoire (2001), a spectacle in which a mysterious blue liquid oozes through the layers of his skin as though it were the final effect or by-product of his body’s inner processes. In Bleu Remix, the artist once more invites the viewer to experience an intimate journey through the corners of his body. Each time the spectacle is performed, a different (local) musician accompanies Marussich. This unique, singular confrontation establishes a new relationship between the sound and image. The meeting of the two artists brings an element of risk and uniqueness to the event, as if the music explores the spectacle repeatedly, resulting in new ways of perception.

Yael Davids
Cupboard
Davids hat mit den Beziehungen zwischen Körper und inerter Materie experimentiert – meist vertrauten Objekten wie Stühlen, Tischen und Matratzen -, indem er eine gegenseitige Abhängigkeit zwischen beiden geschaffen hat. All dies hat zu dieser seltsam überzeugenden Installation der Werke geführt, die sie seit 1994 entwickelt hat. Sie lädt die Teilnehmer ein, in, unter oder durch die Alltagsgegenstände zu kriechen, was zu etwas komischen Bedingungen führt, wenn sich die Teilnehmer anstrengen, um in Position zu kommen. Denn wo die Objekte von entwaffnender Einfachheit sind, scheint sie von den Teilnehmern an ihren Installationen eine Geschicklichkeit und Flexibilität zu fordern, die für die meisten unerreichbar ist.

Fifty Sisters, Series of fifty evolved digital plant images
Fifty Sisters is comprised of fifty 1m x 1m images of computer synthesised plant-forms, algorithmically “grown” from computer code using artificial evolution and generative grammars. Each plant-like form is derived from the primitive graphic elements of oil company logos.
Gavin Munro
The Floating Green Chair
The founder of Derbyshire, England-based Fully Grown, says the idea of creating “living furniture” came to him at a young age when he stumbled upon a bonsai tree that resembled a chair. Though it took another 25 years before Munro began to morph trees into furniture and an additional eight for his vision to become a reality, he never gave up.
D.A.ST. ARTEAM: DANAE STRATOU AND ALEXANDRA STRATOU
Desert Breath
I imagine two parallel realities in the way that we view the world. There is the world inside and the world outside of us. It is through the senses that we are able to connect the inside to the outside world. My whole life, including the choice to become an artist, has been an attempt to re-search, to understand, and to connect these two parallel realities. To bridge what is within to what is without…
Naturally my works are triggered or have a point of departure either in the external or in the internal world. Initially, an idea is generated in the form of an internal image, which in turn needs to be answered intellectually and put into context. This process seems to me to have its point of departure in the world of the subconscious, which then surfaces into the conscious realm. Following from there, the initial idea decodes itself as it evolves into realisation and ends up ‘translating itself’ in to an artwork. It is a bit like a journey, which slowly reveals itself as I journey towards it.

АЛИСА АНДЕРСОН
enrouler le temps
British filmmaker and artist Alice Anderson creates work by concentrating on her childhood from where her obsession of doll’s, and particularly hair, comes from. Her installations reflect her mother/daughter relationship during her isolation in her childhood. During that time Anderson would invent rituals to calm herself down by making threads out of undone seams – later her own hair – and twirling them around her own body and objects. As a natural red-head, she solely focuses on using red doll hair to make small and impressive large scale sculptures.
Ricardo Siri
Oroboro
Siri (Rio de Janeiro, 1974) é um multi-instrumentista que constrói seu discurso através de performances e arte sonora. Percussionista por formação[…] Siri substitui a pele de tambores e o som de instrumentos de sopro como tubas e trompetes condenados pela idade, por alto-falantes. A partir daí, em um processo que propõe ressuscitar os instrumentos, o artista faz composições únicas para cada peça, criando assim, uma base sonora para suas performances.

Dying Centaur 2.0
polyester et robotique
They do look alike, for Alain Séchas’centaur is made of white polyester, from the moulds made for the bronze versions of Bourdelle’s scuplture. It’s not called Dying Centaur but Rêve Brisé (Broken Dream). Broken dream of a creature not only half human, half animal but half human, half god too.So every fifteen minutes, after light has come on the white centaur, it starts slowly collapsing.It comes more and more to pieces as it falls.And at the end of the process, its head bangs against the ground.But after a while, it starts rising from the dead.And then light fades out, and fifteen minutes later, the centaur dies and comes back to (still) life.

Schindler’s Paradox Box
The double helix ramps descend towards the new open auditorium and climb 15 meters until they reach an open roof garden that offers interesting views from below, from above and the border between them. Helical lines are connected on the north side of the house to reconnect on the roof and at the level of the underground auditorium. The interlocking ramps create a continuous common surface that flows between them, emphasizing views of the property, Kings Road and adjoining apartment buildings. The support surfaces of the ramps are independent of the Berlin walls that support them.

Imagens 3D do Busto de Nefertiti
Anos atrás, um escandaloso “roubo de arte” no Neues Museum em Berlim – envolvendo digitalizações 3D do busto de Nefertiti feitas ilegalmente – acabou sendo um tipo diferente de crime. Os dois artistas egípcios que divulgaram os scans alegaram que fizeram as imagens com um “sensor Kinect hackeado”, relata Annalee Newitz da Ars Technica. Mas o artista digital e designer Cosmo Wenman descobriu que esses eram scans feitos pelo próprio Neues Museum, que haviam sido roubados pelos artistas ou talvez por um funcionário do museu.
JIM CAMPBELL
led-explosion
“Jim Campbell (b1956) is a San Francisco-based artist who has embraced the connections of light, space and time, as few others have. He uses LED technology and his skills in electrical engineering to masterfully achieve what Andrei Tarkovsky called “sculpting in time”. He introduces the illusions and our minds complete them.” DARRAN ANDERSON

Moving footbridge
Paddington, London
Opening in sequence, the bridge’s five beams rise to different angles to create a fan-like effect. The first rises to 70 degrees, while the last lifts high enough to create a clearance space of two and a half metres over the surface of the canal. The weight of the beams – which range from six to seven tons – is balanced by a 40 ton counterweight that keeps the beams steady as they rise and fall.

Promethean Fire
Basado en tres obras para teclado de Bach y orquestadas por Stokowski, Promethean fire examina un caleidoscopio de colores emocionales de la condición humana. Los dieciséis bailarines de Paul Taylor Dance Company, vestidos de negro, entran y salen en intrincados patrones, que reflejan la forma en que las diversas emociones se entrelazan en la vida. more…
