Towards a New Nature – China
Residents of the Metaverse might have hairstyles where the boundary between the person and the hair blurs, making the hair almost like an “organ.” These hairstyles could “grow” branches or flowers, have a dynamic motion similar to plants swaying in the wind, and feature geometric shapes, colors, and effects that surpass the physical world’s limitations.

Scenario Scenery
Scenario/Scenery is a performative art installation in which the sculptural parts both act and serve as scenery. The work is inspired by the early theatre weather machines, which stood in the wings and were used to create sound effects of rain, wind and thunder. In Scenario/Scenery, these machines have mutated and been fitted with modern solar panels, which means that the energy that powers them is generated by the machines themselves. The work is designed as a theatrical stage where wind, rain, lightning and thunder machines together perform an act controlled by the rig of halogen lamps suspended above.

IANNIS XENAKIS
Metastasis (Spectral View)
Xenakis wished to reconcile the linear perception of music with a relativistic view of time. In warfare, as Xenakis knew it through his musical ear, no individual bullet being fired could be distinguished among the cacophony, but taken as a whole the sound of “gunfire” was clearly identifiable.

Cyberia
Performance & live computer generated simulation
A postmodern fairytale, Cyberia takes place somewhere in a cold distant East, stretching between and endless imaginary realm and a vast physical space. It is a westwards journey towards a promised future with no arrival and no return. There is no here or there, only a twilight zone between a departure point and a simulated destination. Between digital video projections and a physical setting, using the mechanics of a video-game engine with a motion capture suit, Cyberia is the simulation of an endless pre-climax state where a performer and a CG avatar dance as one to the rhythms of an imaginary West. In a world oversaturated by digital data –mysticism and paranormal are as popular as ever. Emerging technologies are increasingly incorporated in a form of postmodern spiritualism, as Arthur C. Clarke points out: “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

‘Sisters with Transistors’, a documentary about the pioneers of electronic music
This November, a new documentary dedicated to the pioneers of electronic music will see the light under the name ‘Sisters with Transistors’. The feature centers around the work of figures such as Suzanne Ciani, Delia Derbyshire, Laurie Spiegel, and Clara Rockmore.
The feature aims to reveal a unique struggle for emancipation and restore the central role of women in the history of music and society in general.
‘We, women, were especially attracted to electronic music when the possibility of a woman composing was itself controversial. Electronics allow us to make music that others can listen to without having to be taken seriously by the male-dominated establishment’, says the director of the piece.

ゴールズワージーが作る作品は素材がすべて自然物、石、植物の花や枝や葉や茎、氷などだ。しかもそれらをつかって、絶えず変化する自然の中に、海、川、湖、森などに長い長い時間をかけて作品を作る。汀で積み上げていた石が途中で崩れてしまうなどというアクシデントが起こり、満潮までに間に合わないかもしれないという時間との戦いも作品の一部である。しかも、首尾よく作品が完成したとしても、当然時間の経過につれて、それらの作品は流されたり、満潮時に波間に消えたり、氷の作品の場合は解けたりする。つまり消滅する。一種の時間芸術でもある。だから、彼の作品の実物を見るには、ある限られた時間内に現場に行かなくてはならない。それが出来る人は限られる。そこで彼は作品をすべて写真に収め、何冊も写真集を出している。まるで古代の遺跡、遺物の記録のようでさえある。

Transparent Business Suit
“There is much to support the view that it is clothes that wear us and not we them; they mold our hearts, our brains, our tongues to their liking.” -Virginia Woolf. Uniforms group people in simplified versions of our social strata and take away our identity and individuality. In my transparent suit, I wanted to break the rigid impositions of the formal suit. Therefore, I juxtaposed the suit of a businessman and the naked body.

Perfume
Perfume is Japan’s top techno-pop girl trio – Nocchi, Kashiyuka and Aa-Chan – whose music and synchronised dance sessions have won them a global online fan base. This year they have had their first sellout European tour. Their distinctive sound is the work of Japanese electronic music guru Yasatuka Nakata who has been their music producer since 2003. Their stunning performance at the Lions International Festival of Creativity at Cannes recently was the result of their collaboration with leading Japanese techno-artist Daito Manabe. Manabe is one of a new generation of programmers whose genre-crossing work has placed him at the cutting edge of techno-art-music-performance. His art embraces dynamic sensory programming, projection mapping and body capture; lasers, robots and sonar.
