Tim Knowles
Tree Drawings
Tim Knowles est un artiste pluridisciplinaire britannique. Même s’il se défend d’être obsédé par le vent, cet élément a beaucoup inspiré son travail, il aime ses propriétés et son absence de contrôle. Tree Drawing est un très bel exemple du travail de Tim Knowles, il accroche des feutres aux branches d’un arbre et attend que le dessin se fasse sous l’impulsion du vent ou de la brise sur les branches. Ce qui est beau dans cette oeuvre c’est qu’on peut ressentir les propriétés intrinsèques de l’arbre, qui peut être souple, rigide, léger, fragile.

Difference and Repetition
The title references Deleuze’s thesis ‘Difference and Repetition’ – his attempt to understand reality without referring to identities. The artists aim to ‘unidentify’ the audience – to criticize the bubbles of reality which technology has helped us to build around ourselves. By allowing ourselves to remove our identity occasionally, we can better understand the thoughts of those we disagree with and therefore better work together to build a combined reality. Difference (in both senses) is generated by the motion control system which continuously changes the pose of the mirrors relative to the viewer. This movement disrupts space itself, creating a transformation similar to that of a Lorentz transformation when one travels close to the speed of light. This causes space itself to compress, twist and break, giving the viewer a tool for observing the non-absolute nature of time.

A Camera and an Engine – China
A Camera and an Engine é um vídeo renderizado de 4 canais que retrata a dualidade do estado suspenso de uma jovem streamer de videogames chinesa nos mundos digital e real. Virtualmente, essa suspensão se manifesta em encontros com falhas, bugs e áreas não programadas, enquanto, na realidade, representa a instabilidade e a ansiedade em uma sociedade acelerada e altamente competitiva.

ALEXANDER EKMAN
Jogo
Convidado pela primeira vez ao Palais Garnier, o coreógrafo Alexander Ekman viveu um sonho: trabalhar com os bailarinos do Ballet da Ópera de Paris! Para mergulhá-los no universo de sua peça, ele os convidou a tocar. Afinal, a dança não é também entretenimento, diversão, prática, exercício e manipulação? Aqui, o jogo é tudo e em todos os lugares. Dos adereços aos sets. Pois, como repete o coreógrafo, brincar nos deixa felizes; nunca se deve deixar de ser criança. Nos estúdios Massenet e Blanchine, a fotógrafa Anne Deniau se concentra em alguns adereços emblemáticos dessa produção, enquanto o dramaturgo Nicolas Doutey reflete sobre essas novas composições visuais.

Smell of faces
This unique, ever-changing pattern is visualized in a facial composite. This is how it works: when a person approaches the analyzer, sniffing tubes “sniff” him, then gas analyzers process the information, which then passes to a computer program that translate air composition data into data concerning the shape and position of facial features (the components of a facial composite). As a result, a person sees a face of their smell that is conditional, in no way related to their actual physical appearance.

Hipergradiente
File Festival
Hipergradiente analiza las diferentes interpretaciones de una declaración coherente imparcial. La instalación cambia repetidamente entre dos estados: el estado de “declaración” y el estado de “interpretación”. El estado de declaración muestra una secuencia de caracteres de un sistema semiótico distinto, que puede describirse como un suplente para todos los sistemas semióticos conocidos. Estos caracteres individuales se agrupan en cadenas y luego forman órdenes de cadena en una proposición abstracta.

Yoko VIII
The sculpture is one of a series of works Brown began making in 1999 using his wife as a model. All the works are made to scale using Yoko Brown’s exact measurements; the sculptures vary between half and three-quarter scale. They are all cast in the same white acrylic composite resin but the figure is variously dressed and posed in each. more…

Marc Vilanova – Cascade – Spain
Waterfalls are a continuous source of infrasonic frequency found in nature. Although inaudible to humans, they play a crucial role in ecosystems, especially for migratory birds who use them as a compass. However, many waterfalls have lost their frequencies due to climate change. The work creates an immersive experience in which the audience interacts with the visualization of sound waves, experiencing the vibration of sound through illuminated strings.
Bio

The Slow Motion Band
Villanueva began his training and initiation in1984 from 1986-1995 he worked as an artist and teacher with Abraham Dubckovsky the Argentine sculptor and architect planner. His work: causes, produces and creates visual and physical impressions and sensory pleasures, space and forms that are capable of enclosing and hiding something and demarcating soluble volumes. The pieces are of respectful sizes, clean lines and defined but at the same time fragile, silky smooth but yet again clear due to the materials used. As he describes it, art linked to the intimate experiences of the body and time, in search of an interior portrait joined with beauty resulting in essential interlocutor.
Yael Davids
Cupboard
Davids hat mit den Beziehungen zwischen Körper und inerter Materie experimentiert – meist vertrauten Objekten wie Stühlen, Tischen und Matratzen -, indem er eine gegenseitige Abhängigkeit zwischen beiden geschaffen hat. All dies hat zu dieser seltsam überzeugenden Installation der Werke geführt, die sie seit 1994 entwickelt hat. Sie lädt die Teilnehmer ein, in, unter oder durch die Alltagsgegenstände zu kriechen, was zu etwas komischen Bedingungen führt, wenn sich die Teilnehmer anstrengen, um in Position zu kommen. Denn wo die Objekte von entwaffnender Einfachheit sind, scheint sie von den Teilnehmern an ihren Installationen eine Geschicklichkeit und Flexibilität zu fordern, die für die meisten unerreichbar ist.

Pangolin Kleid
Das Pangolin Scales Project demonstriert ein 1.024-Kanal-BCI (Brain-Computer Interface), das Informationen aus dem menschlichen Gehirn mit einer beispiellosen Auflösung extrahieren kann. Die extrahierten Informationen werden verwendet, um das Pangolin-Schuppenkleid interaktiv in 64 Ausgaben zu steuern. Das Kleid ist auch von den Pangolin-niedlichen, harmlosen Tieren inspiriert, die manchmal als schuppige Ameisenbären bekannt sind. Sie haben große, schützende Keratinschuppen auf ihrer Haut (sie sind die einzigen bekannten Säugetiere mit dieser Eigenschaft) und leben in hohlen Bäumen oder Höhlen. Als solche gelten Pangoline als gefährdete Arten, und einige haben angenommen, dass das jüngste Coronavirus möglicherweise entstanden ist Der Verzehr von Pangolinfleisch. Wipprechts größte Herausforderung bei der Entwicklung des Projekts bestand darin, das Kleid nicht mit zusätzlichem Gewicht zu überladen. Sie hat die 3D-Druckexperten Shapeways und Igor Knezevic zusammengebracht, um einen “Exo-Skelett“ -ähnlichen Kleiderrahmen (3 mm) zu schaffen, der leicht genug war, um getragen zu werden, aber robust genug, um alle Mechaniken an Ort und Stelle zu halten

Algae Opera
singer: Louise Ashcroft
When we think of futuristic fashion, our minds often lean toward the minimalist designs of Star Trek or Tron. But maybe what we wear in the future will have more to do with what we eat than what we want to look like.
That’s the premise behind the algaculture symbiosis suit designed by Michael Burton and Michiko Nitta. The symbiosis suit is designed to make food for you as you go about your daily routine. A number of tubes, placed in front of your mouth, harness the CO2 you breathe and feed it to an ever-growing population of algae which lives in the suit. Stepping outside or sitting near a window provides the algae all the sun it requires.
Of course, the growing of algae isn’t the end-game here — it’s growing enough to eat three square meals a day of the stuff. The suit debuted at a recent event at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. There, an opera singer donned the algaculture symbiosis suit and serenaded the gathered crowd. The suit created new algae populations during her performance, which audience members were free to consume after the presentation.
