Having studied as an architect, Tomas Saraceno incorporates physics, engineering, and aeronautics into his interactive and evolving artistic structures. Using arachnology, or the study of spiders, to create structures that suggest alternative ways of living, he employs tridimensional webs to better understand how unique building blocks create distinct forms. Saraceno places spiders in cubic frames and leaves them to spin webs, rotating the cubes at various intervals to introduce elements of freedom

Parasitic / Symbiotic
In the project “Parasitic / Symbiotic” this area of tension between nature and technology is addressed. A scenario is created in which the human being makes use of a technical device, that is sitting like a parasite on a tree. It contains a milling machine, which moves along a tree to carve encoded text into it. For the content of the carving a poem from romanticism („Abschied.“ von Joseph von Eichendorff) is used, which expresses the natural thoughts of unity and oneness and depicts the relation of nature and culture.

Conversation Bubble
At any given moment of time five people are needed to inflate the structure. While the bodies of participants are squeezed and immobilized between two layers of clear vinyl, their heads can move and talk inside the inflated bubble. The duration of the piece depends on the five people’s agreement to end it, as no one can leave on his/her own accord.

BARRY X BALL

БАРРИ Х БОЛЛ
Ball’s portraits are marked by a kind of hyper-compressed energy and visceral intensity that sends your mind reeling. Your thoughts vacillate between the likeness of the sitter, the aesthetic qualities of the stone, and the odd contortions of the form — even though you are completely baffled about how these objects came into existence. more

NICOLAS SCHÖFFER

ニコラ·シェフェール

Cet intérêt pour le dynamisme artistique a été initié par les cubo-futuristes puis intensifié et solidifié par les artistes constructivistes, tels que Naum Gabo, Anton Pevsner, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy et Ludwig Hirschfeld-Mack, soucieux d’ouvrir les trois statiques. -Forme sculpturale dimensionnelle à une quatrième dimension du temps et du mouvement. Et c’était aussi l’intention de Schöffer. En 1948, il a commencé à explorer la spatio-dynamique, plus tard en 1957 la luminodynamique (en intégrant la lumière, la musique, le film), et depuis 1959 l’élément du temps aboutissant aux travaux cinétiques (chronodynamique). Schöffer cependant, venant bien après, a bénéficié des théories cybernétiques (théories des systèmes de rétroaction principalement basées sur les idées de Norbert Wiener) en ce qu’elles lui suggéraient des processus artistiques en termes d’organisation du système qui le manifestait (par exemple, la causalité circulaire de boucles de rétroaction). Pour Schöffer, cela a permis à la cybernétique d’élucider des relations artistiques complexes à partir de l’œuvre elle-même.

Nabijheidsjurk
Door mijn onderzoek naar proxemics en het lichaam uit te breiden, heb ik twee nieuwe jurken gefabriceerd die fysieke barrières creëren wanneer een persoon wordt gedetecteerd in de directe omgeving van de drager. Deze tweelingjurken reageren op basis van nabijheids- en thermische sensoren en duiden vreemden aan in de intieme, persoonlijke, sociale en openbare ruimte rondom de drager. Elke jurk breidt zichzelf uit met behulp van een robot 3D-geprint heupmechanisme ingebouwd in de jurk en een hars 3D-geprinte transparante kraag met de sensoren.

Ah! Pain!
Always the fear of losing
Feel the fear of not being you
But now, I know and it hurts
And I will wander until you know too
I’ve always been a bad hero
Always being saved by you
But now that it’s gone
I know my best is gone too
Ah! Pain! Ah! Pain!
Don’t leave me, I beg you, stay
Surrounds me, comforts me, fixes me
Ah! Pain! Ah! Pain!
You were all that was left in me
It’s what makes me alive without you here
I always feel like it will be
Always time erasing you
And now it’s so late
And the longing comes, invades, burns
I always think about you
I always think to myself “What about you?”
And I don’t want to forget you
And the wound doesn’t close, doesn’t close
Ah! Pain! Ah! Pain!
Don’t leave me, I beg you, stay
Surrounds me, comforts me, fixes me
Ah! Pain! Ah! Pain!
You were all that was left in me
It’s what makes me alive without you here, here
Ah! Pain! Ah! Pain!
Ah! Pain! Ah! Pain!
Don’t leave me, I beg you, stay
Surrounds me, comforts me, fixes me
Ah! Pain! Ah! Pain!
You were all that was left in me
It’s what makes me alive without you here

ALEKSANDR SOKUROV

ألكسندر سوكوروف
亚历山大·索科洛夫
Александр Сокуров
FAUST
“Faust” è, a tutti gli effetti, una summa del cinema sokuroviano, ritroviamo le inquadrature magnifiche di “Arca russa”, i colori di “Moloch”, l’immagine lavorata di “Taurus”. Ma, probabilmente, è anche il suo superamento sfruttando il digitale, i diversi formati, un uso ossessivo della luce e dei colori per creare un’opera d’arte estetizzante e unica, straniante, d’impatto. Nonostante il fetore, che lo spettatore realmente percepisce, dei corpi sventrati, gli olezzi emanati da un Mefistofele caustico e fedele servitore – il cosiddetto “povero diavolo” – , Sokurov non concede allo spettatore di immedesimarsi nel Dottor Faust perché, nonostante sia un film dove la scrittura è in primo piano, è piuttosto un’esperienza visiva estrema, fisica e disturbante. Cosa va cercando Faust in giro per la città, nel suo perpetuo rincorrere un sapere che gli è ancora oscuro? Cerca denaro, cibo, corpi, ancorato ad una materialità che non gli consente di conoscere l’Anima, di toccarla con mano. Ha bisogno di vendere l’anima al diavolo firmando col sangue una lettera talmente sgrammaticata da far terminare l’inchiostro per le numerose correzioni che apporta. Non sa che gli aspetta la solitudine eterna e che a nulla vale tumulare il suo diavolo custode.

Стол трения
Этот стол изготовлен из пропитанной смолой бумаги, которая невероятно прочна, очень устойчива и является одним из немногих материалов, достаточно стабильных для достижения требуемого уровня точности. На 1,8 метра в круглой форме и 4 метра в удлиненном до самого длинного эллипса, стол трения может вместить группы из восьми человек.

Cocky Eek

Cocky Eek es difícil de describir. Su trabajo tiene que ver más con la exploración de un fenómeno más que cualquier otra cosa. Ella investiga la mecánica y la estética de los neumáticos como una estrategia para crear algo de otro mundo. Su interés en las composiciones livianas sugiere algo que usualmente vuela o flota. Sus investigaciones de lo que ella llama, ‘pneumatology’, son el estudio del estado de ser ligero. En esencia, su trabajo trata de empujar los limites de una tectónica (más bien la falta de ella) que ha sido olvidada y destinada para situaciones de corto plazo. Sus investigaciones están catalogadas entre tipos de inflables, el lenguaje arquitectónico, consideraciones en diseño y otras referencias de diseño inflable.

POF 51
Fabrice Hyber sets out to examine the way we communicate and mimic the endless affinities between ideas. What interests Hyber is engaging people with everyday life to invent new modes of behavior. In his mental spa with Faust, he deploys one of his POF’s (Prototypes d ‘Objets en Fonctionnement, created between 1991-2012) to interpret and resolve the complexity of reality by constantly searching for possible, or impossible, hypotheses, a kind of activism to explore endless possibility and infinite variations for art-making.

Universal Everything

Transfiguration (2020)
Transfiguration (2020) is a reworking of the Universal Everything studio classic from 2011, The Transfiguration. The Transfiguration was first shown at the studio’s first major solo exhibition Super-Computer Romantics at La Gaite Lyrique, Paris. Now completely remade using the latest procedural visual effects software, the updated CGI artwork brings new life to the ever-evolving walking figure, with a new foley-based soundtrack by Simon Pyke.
