Silence Dogood, הידוע גם בשם מזרקות חורף

הכותרת של יצירת האמנות הזו מגיעה משם העט הראשון של בנג’מין פרנקלין, שבו השתמש כשהעמיד פנים שהוא אישה שכותבת לעורך, שהיה אחיו המוציא לאור של העיתון. יצירת האמנות עצמה נוצרה בהשראת תורת החשמל של פרנקלין, שבה הוא אפיין את החשמל כנוזל יחיד הזורם בין מטענים חיוביים לשליליים. פרנקלין גם גילה שברק בעננים זהה לחשמל הסטטי. התגליות החשובות הללו יצרו שינוי פרדיגמה עצום עבור המדע והתרבות. האנימציה מפרשת בצורה פנטסטית את היווצרות החשמל בענן. בתוך ענן רעמים יש אינספור כתמי אבק קרח צפים ומתנגשים זה בזה. ההתנגשויות שלהם בונות מטען חשמלי שזמן נוסף ממלא את כל הענן. החלקיקים המפוסלים והמצוירים ביד דומים לציורי מערות שלפני התרבות, מה שמרמז על תיאוריית בריאה קדמונית מסוימת. הברק גם משורטט ביד באותה רמת עדינות. הקרח המימי של החלקיקים מזכיר את הרעיון של מזרקה קפואה.

NANINE LINNING

Requiem

In REQUIEM choreographer Nanine Linning imagines the tension between life and death, the profane and the sacred, the carnal and the spiritual. Themes, which are inextricably linked together and are at the same time absolute opposites. Inspired by Fauré’s “Requiem”, Dante’s “La Divina Commedia” and the absurd and surreal images of the artist duo “Les Deux Garçons”, Linning is searching for her own paradise on earth.REQUIEM is a multidisciplinary production with 25 dancers, live orchestra, two soloist singers, a choir, a sound artist and video. It is a triptych where the public will first walk on stage through dance installations; the dancers create a frozen, silent world.In the second part Fauré’s “Requiem” is being performed while singers and dancers follow Linnings choreography in a world of immense video images on stage. In the last part a Sound Artist will break apart Fauré’s “Requiem”. The frozen world of part one will melt and the energy of life will be released in a dynamic choreography for the choir and dancers.

I Will Stop Loving You

“For a long time I was sort of offended by being referred to as a “Painter” and preferred the title “Artist” as I felt that gave me a greater freedom in doing whatever I wanted to do. Neverthess, I do love color, and the physical feeling and texture of paint itself. Today I smile to myself, and recall that rather narrow minded view I used to have of what painting is and recall my own road toward realizing how extremely important space, room, action and story also is to me. Of course I’m not the first artist to work in an expanded idea of what painting is, but if you call me a Painter today – I will proudly say Yes! I will paint on anything, anywhere, in any way I find suitable!”

Stuhlhockerbank
Imaginée par les designers allemands Yvonne Fehling et Jennie Peiz, la série de mobilier “Stuhlhockerbank” mêle à la fois les caractéristiques des chaises avec celles d’un banc, formant ainsi un ensemble irrégulier d’assises, d’un seul bloc. Comme si plusieurs chaises, tabourets et bancs avaient été “fondus” ensemble, les utilisateurs peuvent alors varier les positions d’assise pour se côtoyer d’une manière différente, créant ainsi une œuvre éphémère à dimension humaine. Un projet de design arty plutôt poétique.more

Tech Camouflage: Anti-Facial Recognition.
Model: Kim Jeong Eun
In order to help understand the main discourses covered by the project and to explore various interpretations on the theme of * c-lab 1.0, ‘Beauty, familiar familiarity’, we conducted a “Technology camouflage: anti-facial recognition technology make-up workshop” as a linked program. . Recognizing that facial recognition technology that is widely used with the generalization of smartphones and SNS can also be used as a way to monitor and control individual freedom, as a new form as an alternative to protect personal privacy from such technologies This is a workshop program that has practiced make-up and hairstyle.

Ryoji Ikeda

Data.scape
Permanent Installation
Japan’s leading electronic composer and visual artist Ryoji Ikeda focuses on the essential characteristics of sound itself and that of visuals as light by means of both mathematical precision and mathematical aesthetics. Ikeda has gained a reputation as one of the few international artists working convincingly across both visual and sonic media. He elaborately orchestrates sound, visuals, materials, physical phenomena and mathematical notions into immersive live performances and installations.

BREAKDOWN

Интерактивное аудиовизуальное танцевальное представление
Breakdown исследует двумерный симулированный мир, в котором его физические правила постоянно меняются и ими манипулирует внешняя сущность. Обитатель этого мира находится в постоянном движении, чтобы приспособиться к его характеристикам. Он взаимодействует с физическими правилами и развивает диалог с сущностью, контролирующей силы. В конце концов, обитатель нарушает правила мира и попадает в новый мир, новое измерение.

New Tangible Interfaces TTI

Interactive surfaces makes everyday objects multi-functional and fun. Reactive technologies have now enabled normal interfaces with new functions and new possibilities. The role of the surface is changing radically, according to how it’s designed and incorporated with objects. My proposal was to re-define the role of the surface in future lifestyle, exploring how surfaces can be an integrated as part of a product or environment.

TTI, (standing for Tangible Textural Interface) is a new sound system that embeds a tactile surface. TTI has flexibility that enables people to physically touch and feel the response through the controls and physical morph of the surface. TTI delivers new aesthetics through integrated flexible surfaces as interface material unlike adapting conventional materials for interfaces such as plastic or glass. Unlike existing 2D interfaces, TTI has a curved 3D surface opening up new possibilities in making flexible forms and shapes within the interface.

TTI consists of 3 main functions, backwards and forwards, volume control and equaliser, having a physical feedback and control interface within one surface. As you control the functions, the left surface physically responds to the controls. Tactile surface also responds to the beat of the music.

File Festival
De kern van de installatie is de uitvinding van een apparaat dat lijkt op een scheepshoorn. Bij het klinken van elke toon komt er een enorme zeepbel uit de hoorn. Het groeit terwijl de toon klinkt, van de hoorn afpelt, door de tentoonstellingsruimte blijft hangen en ten slotte op een grillige positie in de ruimte barst.

MATRIX
“This materialised grid system gives a great sense of disorientation. As you are drawn by these push-pull perspectives and as you walk around the piece, the impossibility of reconciling foreground, mid-ground and background and the absence of any figure within this ground undermine any certainty of the stability of architecture itself.” Anthony Gormley

Es Devlin

EGG
Lower Manhattan
architect Bjarke Ingels

Eine horizontal verlaufende Spiegelwand reflektiert das Modell und lässt die Metropole als organische, symmetrische Form erscheinen. Zu sehen ist das Ganze in einer Galerie in der Nähe des Hochparks High Line im Süden Manhattans. Devlin beschreibt ihre Arbeit als «mysteriöse Auster oder Gehirn mit einer elliptischen Schale». Lichtprojektionen erwecken den Eindruck, als durchlaufe die Stadt Zyklen von Tag und Nacht. Entlang der Straßen blitzen dabei im Dunkeln auch gelbe und orangefarbene Lichter auf, die an Autoverkehr aus der Ferne erinnern.
