Interference
La interferencia es una escultura que reflexiona sobre el comportamiento simultáneo de la luz como onda y partícula. La escultura muestra dos ondas de luz interferentes que lentamente se vuelven coherentes y luego se separan en diferentes escalas y frecuencias. La forma de la obra es una réplica a escala de una estructura de “pila de madera”, un cristal fotónico artificial que se utiliza para guiar y manipular la luz. Estos cristales imitan las propiedades que se encuentran en la naturaleza en forma de coloración estructural como algunas mariposas u ópalos y son observables como iridiscencia. Es una serie de LED programables que están cubiertos con filtros dicroicos para producir un efecto de colores cambiantes que cambian según la posición de los espectadores. El trabajo se inspiró en el programa de residencia “Scale Travels” en el Laboratorio Internacional de Nanosistemas Ibéricos, donde trabajé con el grupo de fotónica para estudiar las propiedades inherentes de la luz y el color. La observación de la obra por parte del espectador es a la vez una demostración de los fenómenos de las ondas de luz interferentes y la interferencia de las ondas de luz en sí.

Homage to B. Franklin
File Festival
Homage to B. Franklin is an interactive sound installation. Like Franklin, we also got inspired by the glass harps, so popular in the eighteenth century and still enjoyed nowadays. With this reference in mind, we aim to realize a dialogue between the past and the approach to explore sonority from elements of everyday life -like simple crystal glasses filled with water- and the present, in which we use electronic synthesizers and tangible digital interfaces to generate music. In both cases, there is something magical about being able to generate music without necessarily being an instrumentalist, without making use of classical or conventional instruments. In both, the resulting sound is different from what these instruments can generate, but still music. Participation from the audience is essential for this work to make sense. This is not an artwork of mere contemplative character. We are interested in motivating the participation and the dialogue work-individual and between individuals, since this is a project in which one can interact in groups.
TRACY FEATHERSTONE
Wearable Structure: Yellow Pod
Tracy Featherstone is an Associate Professor of Art at Miami University. A SFA Scholarship and Teaching grand allowed Featherstone to travel to Ghana, West Africa in order to initiate a body of sculptural work dealing with the theme of personal environment. The language of home such as furniture, textiles, and construction is used to express the awkward, fragile, and tenuous hold on stability and structure in her work. The sculptures, wearable or free-standing, are frenzied attempts to create order from an ultimately unpredictable surrounding.
Shayne Dark
Force of Nature
Whereas in the materials, there is a combination of natural and manufactured materials, most notably the various wood vs. refined metals. There is a duality at play, that between the natural and the urban. It seems that in this age of post-Industrial Revolution, where we are plagued with the problems that surround finding a balance between these two worlds, Dark has found some common ground in the organic aspects of each, uniting the two in his oeuvre.

Leonardo Drew
Но то, что поначалу казалось безопасным и немного анахроничным, теперь кажется пророческим: наши скульпторы «постмодернизма» все больше и больше углубляются в язык, характерный для других десятилетий. Эрик Фишль продолжает драму Огюста Родена со своей скульптурной группой «Десять дыханий», например, а Чарльз Рэй расширяет картину Жана-Антуана Гудона своим дебютным в Венеции «Мальчик с лягушкой». Точечное искусство, которое было постминималистическим в 70-х, теперь снова появляется под новым брендом как искусство инсталляции. Это новое отношение кардинально изменило намерения постмодернистской иронии, когда прошлые традиции были взяты на образцы и вырваны из контекста, как правило, для насмешек. В отличие от постмодерна, он восхищается эстетикой, которая была до него, и поэтому чувствительность Леонардо Дрю, кажется, догнала настоящее.

Ayoung Kim
In Search of Petra Genetrix
Petra Genetrix, the protagonist of the series Porosity Valley, is a migrant, mineral, and data cluster. In this lecture performance, the artist traces the origin of Petra Genetrix who constantly crosses borders, gender boundaries, and the concept of existence and nonexistence and creates her own hyperbolic mythology. While utilizing audio and video excerpts from her existing works, Ayoung Kim uses her own voice to create a verbal narrative exploring those agents who cross boundaries. By doing so, she continues to trace multifaceted crystal faces of Petra Genetrix, who is fundamentally porous and ambiguous.
Krista van der Niet
КРИСТА ВАН ДЕР НИЕТ
The work of Krista van der Niet (1978) emerges from a dreamlike state of mind, whereby her imagination brings the things around her to life. She seems to glide along the lightness of things and grasps the beauty of the pure object. During the making process objects gain a metaphysical layer of meaning. She is the guiding factor for the viewpoint of her audience, in order to convey her perception.

Self-contained II
A neural network, trained to see the world as variations of the artist’s body, enacts a process of algorithmic interpretation that contends with a body as a subject of multiplicity. After training on over 30,000 images of the artist, this neural network synthesizes surreal humanoid figures unconstrained by physics, biology and time; figures that are simultaneously one and many. The choice of costumes and the movements performed by the artist to generate the training images were specifically formulated to optimize the legibility of the artist within this computational system. self-contained explores the algorithmic shaping of our bodies, attempting to answer the question: how does one represent themselves in a data set? Building on the first iteration of the series, the synthetic figures in self-contained II proliferate to the point of literally exploding. Through the arc of self-contained II, this body that grows, multiples, and dissolves never ceases to be more than a single body.

Heart to Mouth
Sheath your arrows: the voluptuous red heart, international symbol of love, is reimagined in this a visceral new short by genre-defying Dutch artist Bart Hess. With echoes of high-tech fetish fashion and Jeff Koons’ contemporary pop art classic “Hanging Heart,” Hess’ latest video stages a Sapphic encounter from within crimson latex balloons.

Without touch, we can’t connect. Without skin, we can’t touch.
Matt Keegan is a conceptual artist known for his enigmatic combinations of design, photography, text, printmaking, and sculpture. Using stenciling and printmaking techniques, Keegan isolates idiomatic phrases—for instance, “it goes without saying” or “picture perfect”—and transforms them into art objects, calling attention to the materiality of language and its open-ended possibilities.

Botanical Layers
For Botanical Layers fashion designer Masha Reva teamed up with Syndicate of Kiev to create a sweater collection in which they mashed up a mix of botanical paraphernalia and printed the floral arrangements. The concept of Botanical Layers is that people who are living a contemporary lifestyle, are fully immersed in gadgets, but are always searching for nature.
