Stine Deja
Cryptic Ruins
It’s the year 21020 and a mysterious archaeological site has been uncovered in what was central London. A large communal structure seemingly dedicated to unproductive expending of energy from human bodies. Whilst we might easily identify it as a gym, our descendants are concerned with why it exists at all. By framing the 21st century compulsion towards physical fitness as a mysterious practice of the past that requires decoding, Deja’s playful film reveals something of the absurdity of contemporary urban life and questions the rationality of our obsessions.

Cubrick
The Art Folly Cubrick by Chanjoong Kim is an interactive public space exhibited outside the walls of the Korean National Museum of Contemporary Art. A fusion between bricks and cubic forms, this abstract architecture piece is both artful and interactive.A spatial installation, this bold piece dares to test visual boundaries. A dynamically designed piece, the pavilion provides an intriguing experience for its visitors, showcasing a multitude of materialized textures. From stacked shapes to three-dimensional structural elements, this boldly built environment displays six different surfaces.With an aim to display high art outside of museum walls, The Art Folly Cubrick by Chanjoong Kim is an interactive sculptural piece few will soon forget. Gaining attention for all the right reasons, this spatial sculpture is all about art exploration.

Array [wave]
Wave depicts a sculptural volume unfolding over time – the Shape of Light seized in perpetual movement. It uses ephemeral and intangible materials – light and sound – and can be traversed by the observer, immersing them into the shapes cast by the undulating light columns. The work creates a malleable experience of scale: it shifts between object and environment depending on the observer’s position inside, outside, or at the boundary of the installation.
ICD AND ITKE RESEARCH PAVILION
Pavilhão de pesquisa biônica
O Instituto de Design Computacional (ICD) e o Instituto de Estruturas de Edifícios e Design Estrutural (ITKE) da Universidade de Stuttgart construíram outro pavilhão de pesquisa biônica. O projeto faz parte de uma série bem-sucedida de pavilhões de pesquisa que mostram o potencial de novos processos de design, simulação e fabricação em arquitetura. O projeto foi planejado e construído em um ano e meio por alunos e pesquisadores de uma equipe multidisciplinar de arquitetos, engenheiros e biólogos. O foco do projeto é uma estratégia de design de baixo para cima paralela para a investigação biomimética de cascas de compósitos de fibra natural e o desenvolvimento de novos métodos de fabricação robótica para estruturas de polímero reforçadas com fibra.
Olivier Ratsi
Frame Perspective
Measuring 30m x 30m x 2.4m and featuring LED lights and 8 audio channels, Frame Perspective transforms a cavernous space at the Maison de la Région. On specific dates throughout the Constellations festival Ratsi has prepared a light programme in the space, accompanied by a sound composition played by Thomas Vaquié (see the festival programme for more details). Frame Perspective continues Ratsi’s interrogation of reality through the creation of exploratory and peripheral spaces. The installation’s repeating forms create new dimensions in the Maison de la Région, interrupting the lines of the architecture. Meanwhile the composition of interacting lights and sounds disrupts the sonic and visual textures of the space and resonates with the visitor on uncharted frequencies. The effect is to immerse the visitor into a fluctuating environment which connects digital technologies with physical spaces and raises questions about how reality is constructed and experienced in digital, physical and other realms.

さそり座は、ゆっくりとした有機的な動きで体を動かしたり変化したりする一連の動的電子衣服です。彼らは呼吸し、脈動し、独自の内部プログラミングによって制御されます。それらのプログラミングが単純なセンサーデータに応答しない限り、それらは「インタラクティブな」アーティファクトではありません。彼らには志向性があります。彼らは生きるために、存在し、生きるためにプログラムされています。それらは、制御、予測、予測不可能性などの特性を利用する生きた行動の動的彫刻です。彼らは彼ら自身の個性、彼ら自身の恐れと欲望を持っています。

Skoprionsは、カナダのモントリオールにあるXSLabsのDiMainstoneとJoannaBerzowskaのコラボレーションの結果です。 DiはXSLabsチームと緊密に協力して、アート、ファッション、テクノロジー、パフォーマンスを組み合わせたこれらのキネティックコスチュームを作成しました。 Skorpionsは、電子ファブリック、形状記憶合金Nitinol、磁石などの機械式アクチュエータ、ソフト電子回路、および従来の繊維構造技術を統合しています。パターンのカット、縫い目、およびその他の構造の詳細は、エンジニアリング設計の重要な要素になりました。

Hommage to Degas
Фотограф Екатерина Белкина родилась в Самаре. Окончила художественное училище им. Петрова-Водкина по классу рекламный дизайн. В настоящее время живет и работает в Москве. Екатерина создает необыкновенные фотографии. Они глубоки, философичны и не так просты как кажутся на первый взгляд. Их смело можно назвать вполне экзистенциальными и даже «вещью-в-себе».
SEBASTIAN STUMPF
In photographs and video installations, Sebastian Stumpf tests the boundaries of his environment and oversteps them seemingly effortlessly. His selfdramatizations call into question the relationship between body and space. Short video sequences document physical actions that Stumpf executes. These performances do not take place live in the exhibition space but are projected as already-completed works at the exact site where they were originally staged: video work and projection space thus overlap and merge.
