stanze private
Stanze Private – Private Rooms” amplifies the noise inside these small rooms, these few jugs and glass ampoules, transparent. And it amplifies the noise in the surrounding environment, in the largest room where the installation is placed. It produces sound from the audience. We as listeners can not only be part of this small ecosystem, our physical presence alters the acoustics of the surrounding space, altering the dynamic. Listening thus interferes on listening, the listening is never something objective, is always something that changes the listening itself.

Visual Exploration of the Periodic Table

N-01
The artist creates an unprecedented visuospatial system that transforms the historical museum and its viewers alike.Visitors are kindly invited to touch and move the black metal and glass elements of the artwork.The built environment is inhabited through an array of inputs and outputs. Our bodies set in motion invisible chains of cause and effect. Enter a room: lights turn on. Turn a handle:a door opens. This relay is modulated through system controllers, devices programmed to respond to moving bodies and aural commands. Buried within walls, floors and ceilings, building networks are a black box.

Rimpicciolire
Due grandi fogli di plastica trasparente e un dispositivo che aspira gradualmente l’aria tra di loro lasciano il corpo (in questo caso l’artista stesso) confezionato sottovuoto e sospeso verticalmente. Il tubo trasparente inserito tra le due superfici permette alla persona all’interno dell’impianto di regolare il flusso d’aria. Come risultato della crescente pressione tra i fogli di plastica, la superficie del corpo imballato si congela gradualmente in più micro pieghe. Per tutta la durata dello spettacolo, la persona all’interno si muove lentamente e cambia posizione, che varia da una posizione quasi embrionale a una che assomiglia a un corpo crocifisso.

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.

Scary beauty
“Scary beauty“ is a mono opera performed by “Skelton”(humanoid android) with human orchestra. This android has been developed by Hiroshi Ishiguro(professor in Osaka University) and improved the degree of freedom in motion like human by Takashi Ikegami(professor in Tokyo University). The music has three parts, each part is composed of a collage of text in each works by Michel Houellebecq, Yukio Mishima and William Burroughs. This texts is selected as imaging a weird scene after all mankind become extinct.

DUTCH INVERTUALS
Row Colors: Invertuals 2
These oversized, misshapen, foamy straightjacket bundles were made by Eindhoven-based duo Raw Color for design collective Dutch Invertuals. In a sweet range of minty pastels they look like they should provide a comfy bed, but wrapped around a head they’re more likely to suffocate. Created a couple of years ago as press material for Dutch Invertual’s participation in home furnishings exhibition Salone Internazionale del Mobile, the series creatively illustrates the malleability of material by taking flat foam and creating strange, abstract human sculptures.

No Longer Write – Mochiji
Powered by artificial intelligence’s Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), the collected works from ancient Chinese Calligraphers, including Wang Xizhi, Dong Qichang, Rao Jie, Su Shi, Huang Tingjian, Wang Yangming, as input data for deep learning. Strokes, scripts and style of the masters are blended and visualized in “Mochiji”, a Chinese literature work paying tribute to Wang Xizhi. Wang is famous for his hard work in the pursuit of Chinese calligraphy. He kept practicing calligraphy near the pond and eventually turned the pond for brush washing into an ink pond (Mochi). The artwork provides a platform for participants to write and record their handwriting. After a participant finished writing the randomly assigned script from “Mochiji”, the input process is completed and the deep learning process will begin. The newly collected scripts will be displayed on the screen like floating ink on the pond, and slowly merge with other collected data to present a newly learnt script. The ink pond imitates process of machine learning, which observes, compares and filters inputs through layers of image and text, to form a modern edition of “Mochiji”.

不再写 – Mochiji
以人工智能的生成对抗网络（GANs）为动力，将王羲之、董其昌、饶捷、苏轼、黄廷健、王阳明等中国古代书法家的作品作为深度学习的输入数据。向王羲之致敬的中国文学作品《麻糬》，将大师的笔触、文字、风格融为一体，形象化。王先生以对中国书法的刻苦钻研而著称。他一直在池塘边练习书法，最终把洗笔池变成了墨池（麻糬）。艺术作品为参与者提供了一个书写和记录他们笔迹的平台。参与者完成“Mochiji”中随机分配的脚本后，输入过程完成，深度学习过程将开始。新收集到的脚本会像池塘上的浮墨一样显示在屏幕上，并与其他收集到的数据慢慢融合，呈现出新学到的脚本。墨池模仿机器学习的过程，通过图像和文本的层层观察、比较和过滤输入，形成现代版的“年糕”。

INJECT
A HUMAN BODY IS INJECTED IN A CISTERN. OVER THE COURSE OF 45 MINUTES, THE PRESSURE OF THE LIQUID EXERTS UPON HIM MULTIPLE NEUROSENSORIAL TRANSFORMATIONS. FROM HIS EPIDERMAL FIBER TO HIS NERVOUS SYSTEM, HE REACTS TO INFLUXES OF VISCOSITY IN THIS LIQUID CHAMBER. HIS CORTEX, LACKING OXYGEN, GRADUALLY LOSES ALL NOTIONS OF THE REAL. LIKE A HUMAN GUINEA PIG: A MATTER-BODY WHOSE PSYCHOLOGICAL STATES ARE THE OBJECT OF KINETIK TABLEAUX, OF SINGULAR TEMPORAL SPACES.
FREUDENTHAL AND VERHAGEN
Circles
Dutch collaborators Carmen Freudenthal (photographer) and Elle Verhagen (stylist) have been working together since 1989. Their collaboration with fashion designers, performers and other artists results in a wide variety of work, which is always recognizable for its humorous approach of daily life and its use (and abuse) of contemporary imagery and (photo)graphic techniques.
Hypersonic and Plebian Design
Constructive Interference
Created as a collaboration between Hypersonic and Plebian Design, Constructive Interference is a sculpture designed to engage passer-bys using the wonder of moire patterns. Installation is composed of two large patterned sheets of steel, designed to create a rapidly changing visual interference effect as viewers pass by.Moving shapes and hidden structures appear fleetingly within the sculpture as the eye and body pass by. The effect and shape of the piece changes dramatically from one vantage point to another around the space, while the sculpture itself remains static.
KATE MCCGWIRE
Кейт Маккгваер
A la artista la fascina la idea de que la belleza puede ser mucho más que el ser bello, puede ser un fenómeno cultural por donde pasa su proceso creativo. Su obra invita el espectador a “mirar para dentro” y repensar en sus preconceptos teniendo casi siempre como resultado una interpretación racional. Todas esas sensaciones la artista consigue con esculturas singulares que se forman por camadas y que parecen querer tragarnos.
CINQ FRUITS
« Cinq Fruits » est un collectif d’artistes français qui autour de leur projet « For the love of Vitamin » se sont mis en tête de réaliser une création par jour. Le résultat est frais, direct, intriguant, en deux mots simple et efficace. Une plongé dans les expérimentations à suivre avec délice.
