A3 K3
A3 K3 is a unique interactive experience. Artworks are created by machine technology and audience participation. Dragan Ilić uses g.tec’s brain-computer interface (BCI) system where he controls a hi-tech robot with his brain. The artist and the audience draw and paint on a vertical and a horizontal canvas with the assistance of the robot. The robotic arm is fitted with DI drawing devices that clamp, hold and manipulate various artistic media. They can then create attractive, large-format artworks. Ilić thus provides a context in which people will be able to enhance and augment their abilities in making art.

Monolith
A mysterious object reacts to your presence and touch, turning its surface into a space in which you travel/fall. Made with Arduino, Processing and the CapSense library.
OODA
OPERA HOUSE IN BUSAN
L’opéra Auditorium a un concept de design pionnier et innovant. Il est aussi flexible et efficace qu’élégamment sculpté. La zone centrale peut tourner autour d’elle-même donc, dans le même espace, il est possible d’avoir un Opéra avec toutes ses exigences, mais aussi des concerts plus intimes et une salle de scène centrée permettant d’avoir un public tout autour.

Lasermice
“Lasermice” is a swarm robotic installation that consists of 60 small robots, which inspired by synchronous behavior from insects like fireflies. Normally network of swarm is invisible, But in this case those robots creates visible network via laser light – photodetector communication. As a result, they generates rythme that continuously changing. The generated rhythm is made audible by solenoid which strikes floor. Combination of visible network and audible rhythm are deployed spatially.

АНА ТЕРЕЗА БАРБОСА
Volver a Mirar
Ana Teresa Barboza mixes embroidery and drawing within her collected works. Using the fur of animals as a perfect leeway for her stitching technique, Barboza layers thin strips of string expertly to imitate the texture of a creature’s fur. While animals and vegetation are richly detailed in her works, she chooses to display her human subject matter as basic, black stitched figures or graphite drawing. The end result is a texturized feast for the eyes.

Halo
99 robotic mirrors continuously move throughout the day to follow the sun like sunflowers. These mirrors, arrayed across two 5 meter tall towers and one 15 meter long track, each emit a beam of sunlight into a cloud of water mist. The beams are computationally aligned so that together they draw a bright circle in the air. Dependent entirely on the presence of the sun for its completion, the work explores the possibilities and limitations of technology to capture what is out of reach, to harness nature and bring the sun down to earth. Collaborating with the natural fluctuations in the climate, Halo appears only for moments when the wind, sun, water, and technology coincide, creating a form which exists between the material and immaterial.

“I like to think of the collection as an important reminder that everything is interconnected; humans and nature are part of the same unit. Essentially I hope my work will act as a reminder of the beauty and magnificence of nature as well as being something really special to wear.”
YANN MARUSSICH
GLASSED A LA MUFFATHALLE
Auch in seiner aktuellen Performance „Glassed“ gibt sich Yann Marussich wieder nahezu bewegungslos und setzt seinen Körper Extremen aus. Ein riesiger, grünleuchtender Kubus beherrscht die Bühne. Begleitet durch die Live-Musik von Franz Treichel, dem Kopf der bekannten, Schweizer Post-Industrial-Band „The Young Gods“, erhebt sich dieser und gibt langsam den Blick auf den Künstler selbst frei. Marussich kommt, in einen feinen Maßanzug gekleidet, aber das Gesicht bis zur Gänze unter einer riesigen Halskrause verborgen, darunter zum Vorschein. Die Halskrause, die man eigentlich Hunden nach Operationen anlegt, ist bis obenhin mit 25 Kilo Glas angefüllt. Während der Performance versucht sich Marussich immer wieder unter großen körperlichen Anstrengungen dem Glas zu entledigen.

Jati Putra Pratama turns landscape photos into surreal works of art by contorting the scenes to include unusual angles. The Jakarta, Indonesia, graphic designer made waves on Reddit after posting one of his pieces, spawning a flood of copy-cat work, and even a tutorial. Many online commentators write that Pratama’s work is reminiscent of the physics-defying scenes from the hit-film Inception, but this isn’t Pratama’s only style: his Instagram features more traditional (if there can be such a thing) surreal photos as well.
MAURICE BOGAERT
Het Wezen van de Stad
For a couple of years now I’ve been developing a series of works that engage, each in different ways, with what I propose to call filmic architecture. In these works, I explore the relationships between scale models, sets, architecture, and the moving image. Starting point is was the question: would it be possible to do a remake of a film, let’s say Ridley Scott Alien, with a set that would allow one to do so in one single shot? How to translate the combination of spaces, montage and shifts in size and angle as we see them in the film into the actual spatiality of a set that would allow one to shoot the film in a single continuity without the cut and paste of montage? This brought me to the idea of the Morphed Set as both a potential plan for a work and an intellectual exercise or figure of thought. Sometimes my works are extremely large “walkthrough INSTALLATIONS” – at other times, they are infinite small scale models and prototypes.

Non posso fare a meno di me stesso
Costruito con un braccio robotico industriale Kuka, “Can’t Help Myself” è programmato per fare una cosa: contenere un liquido viscoso di colore rosso intenso all’interno di un’area fissa. Quando la sostanza simile al sangue si accumula troppo, questo attiva i sensori del robot facendo ruotare, flettere e spostare il liquido al centro, lasciando dietro di sé schizzi e macchie.
