John Cage
Music of Changes
Music of Changes was the second work Cage composed to be fully indeterminate in some sense (the first is Imaginary Landscape No. 4, completed in April 1951, and the third movement of Concerto for prepared piano also used chance), and the first instrumental work that uses chance throughout. He was still using magic square-like charts to introduce chance into composition, when, in early 1951, Christian Wolff presented Cage with a copy of the I Ching (Wolff’s father published a translation of the book at around the same time). This Chinese classic text is a symbol system used to identify order in chance events. For Cage it became a perfect tool to create chance-controlled compositions: he would “ask” the book questions about various aspects of the composition at hand, and use the answers to compose. The vast majority of pieces Cage completed after 1951 were created using the I Ching.

JUNG-YEON MIN KOMMT AUS SÜDKOREA, ABER JETZT LEBT UND ARBEITET SIE IN PARIS. SIE HAT VIEL ERFINDLICHE UND IHRE SUPER IMAGINATIVEN ARBEITEN, WIE SIE DROGENINDUZIERT WERDEN KÖNNTEN. MENSCHEN SIND IN IHREN TRÄUMEN, IN EINER SURREALEN WELT. Es gibt eine Mischung aus Realistischem und Außerordentlichem. DAS MIKRO UND DAS MAKRO, DIE WELT, DIE WIR KENNEN UND DIE VIRTUELLE. ES GIBT KEINE ZEIT.

L’équilibre des forces
Le travail de Marion Brusley explore et interroge différentes particularités de notre société (la normalisation, la productivité, l’utilité, les valeurs de réussite ou encore d’échec…), à travers la réalisation, l’archivage ou le détournement d’objets et d’activités empruntés à divers champs de la vie quotidienne. Les objets ou situations présentés apparaissent pour la plupart noueux, incongrus ou mis sous tension.

Projekt von Isabelle Schad und Laurent Goldring
’The group’s body is made out of many. We exercise practices that have the potential to unite instead of individualize. We understand these practices as a relationship to oneself and to one another, as a pathway. These practices are biological ones, cellular ones, energetic ones. We look at freedom in relation to form : to form that is made of and found by an inner process and its rhythms. Rhythm creates the form. Therefore, there is multitude, multiplicity, subjectivity, and variation : variation within repetition. We look at freedom as the essence of happiness. We experience happiness when the flow of movement can be done together and be maintained. We look at freedom that is guaranteed once everyone within a group can find form in a subjective way. Therefore, there is a specific relation to the term equality : Everyone can be equal, once subjectivity in one‘s own respective rhythm is guaranteed within the form.’I.Schad

Organoid structures – perhaps frozen remnants of an alien world. Or could there still be life within them? Their vivid colors give no hint of decay. Until you find the answer, simply enjoy their beauty and the relaxing music of Dreamstate Logic.

Sarcophagus
Al interior del espacio se introdujo un recinto de meditación, permitiendo a los participantes encontrar confort en un lugar poco convencional de reposo. El interior ha sido llenado imágenes y sonido que permiten un estado de meditación para tener una perspectiva de uno mismo […]”Sarcophagus” fue presentado por primera vez en el borde de la playa de Blairgowrie, en Victoria, y la instalación fue ocupada por el artista de performance Steiner lilian, quién fue filmado en el interior del ataúd entrando en un estado meditativo.

Proteus 2.0
Proteus – это установка, которая модулирует структуру феррожидкости с помощью человеческого и машинного интеллекта в замкнутой цепи. Благодаря индивидуальному и длительному визуальному опыту он погружает посетителя в неявное взаимодействие с материалом через интерфейс мозг-компьютер. Предварительно обученная специализированная модель машинного обучения информируется в реальном времени с помощью нейронных сигналов, генерируемых взглядом посетителя, когда она подвергается быстрой последовательной смене шаблонов без следования явным инструкциям. В течение периода просмотра посетитель может ощутить некоторую стабилизацию собственного модулированного изображения материала.

アメリカ人アーティスト、ジャネット・エチェルマンの空中彫刻を紹介します。ジャネットは、伝統的なネット織り技術を使用して信じられないほどのインスタレーションを作成し、単純な糸のスプールを見事なピースに変換します。
彼女の美しい彫刻は通常、建物と柱の間に設置されます。これにより、アーティストは常夜灯の遊びでオーロラに似せようとします。明るい彫刻は世界中にあり、空に色を加えています。その部品は、100％発泡PTFEから製造されたハイテクスレッドであるテナラで作られているため、従来のテフロンスレッドの2〜3倍の強度があり、屋外で使用するために設計された繊維であり、腐敗やカビに強い紫外線の影響を受けません。結ばれた後、亜鉛メッキされたスチールリングに結び付けられ、ロープで宇宙空間に吊り下げられます。
単一の結び目を結ぶ前に、設計ソフトウェアを使用して、重力の影響、その構造の対称性、およびその重量を測定します。

Chronos XXI
Chronos the god of time, permanently destroys and recreates. He who symbolises evanescence and return, was the thematic point of departure for the creation of the kinetic media installation Chronos XXI. The piece is a ‘finger exercise on antiquity’ by our Creative Director Joachim Sauter and was created during his residency at Villa Massimo in Rome. A pendulum continuously swings in front of a monitor. This motion controls the slow synthesis and destruction of depictions of Chronos on the monitor. Chronos appears in various interpretations by painters of the late Renaissance, Baroque and Classicism – as a man who disrobes Veritas, as a performer of volatile music, or docking Cupid’s wings, or as children and crop eating, a scythe and an hour glass carrying, beardy and winged old man.

MARK GARRY
[…] Mark Garry is driven by a fundamental interest in observing how humans navigate the world and the subjectivity inherent in these navigations. Though he uses a variety of media and mechanisms in his practice, he primarily focuses on institution-based installations. These delicately considered site-specific installations are measured and quiet, requiring meticulous systems of construction.
