Network Time
“Network Time consists of several wifi routers set up in an exhibition space to be freely accessed by any mobile internet device. Attached to each router is a slender fiber optic cable, aligned to absorb and magnify the incessant flicker of its traffic LED. The visualized data exchange creates a space viewers can interact with not only physically, but also informationally.” Gregor Quack

Reise
REISE ist eine 4 min. immersives audiovisuelles Erlebnis, das die Geschichte von Photonen, primären Elementen des Lichts, vom Moment ihrer Annäherung an das Auge bis zur Rekonstruktion durch das Gehirn in wahrnehmbare Formen erzählt. Unsere Reise beginnt mit der Bildung von Photonen im leeren Raum, die farbigen Photonen nähern sich dem Auge und wir befinden uns in der Kapillarstruktur von Iris, der ersten Schicht des Auges. Der nächste Stopp für die Lichtpartikel ist die Linse, die eine kristallinere Form hat. Wir befinden uns in einer refraktiven und fraktalisierten Umgebung. Mit zunehmendem Tempo bewegen wir uns in Richtung einer Struktur vieler Kapillaren, auch bekannt als Sehnerven, die allmählich dünner werden und schließlich Lichtpartikel in Richtung Neuronen übertragen.
Du Zhenjun
Babel
The first synonym for disorder that appears in the dictionary is babel, with a lowercase letter
Du Zhenjun transforms the world into a new tower of Babel, but don’t you think this Earth already is? Isn’t there already too much disorder, injustice and misunderstanding?
The first synonym for disorder that appears in the dictionary is babel, with a lowercase letter. Nor are all the consequences of the confusion wanted by God here, as if to justify this adjective. We embody pride and supremacy over the world, the same one that He wanted us to inhabit.
In the images proposed by Du Zhenjun we observe a standard composition: in the center there is always an interpretation of the Tower, various shapes, various structures, various visions. Then a gray atmosphere hovers all around, the atmosphere of reality. A mass of things, people and buildings. They are parts of photographs, or rather of journalistic reports, of war and more.
We do not identify the origin of the light source, it is in the air: everything is illuminated, as in the composite prints of the late nineteenth century, ancestors of photomontage.

A R R A Y
A R R A Y – это аудиовизуальная платформа для перформативных экспериментов, основанная на матрице из шести светодиодов, обращенных к шести фотодатчикам, подключенным к векторным генераторам. Датчики измеряют яркость и частоту мигающих огней и соответственно изменяют значения осцилляторов. Частота световых импульсов и расстояние между диодами и датчиками модулируются во время работы, что приводит к непредсказуемым шумовым характеристикам. Непрерывный поток звука считывается в массивы в чистых данных и преобразуется в меняющийся слой макро-колебательных движений.

Verbo Pluriel (aka volt46) & XWave – Calamar – United States and France
The Calamar music video is comprised of AI-generated clips that are sequenced and synchronized to create a hypnotic, ever-changing landscape.
Bio
Verbo Pluriel is an electronic music producer who has been active in the NFT scene since 2020 under the name volt46. X-Wave is also an NFT producer that trains its own AI models to generate collections. Although they never met in person, their participation in the web 3.0 art collective Based Ghouls led to their collaboration.

Untitled 05
“I look at forms in nature for inspiration – from microscopic organisms like bacteria and viruses, to moss covered stones, branches of trees, the human body, seedpods, landscapes, star charts, etc., then try to bring all of these disparate elements together in the work”
Zhan Wang
Flying Stone No.2
Zhan Wang’s most celebrated work to date is his series of “artificial rocks” – stainless steel replicas of the much-revered “scholar’s rocks” traditionally found in Chinese gardens. The mirrored surfaces of these often monumental objects absorb the viewer and its surrounding environment, enticing them to become part of the work, an abstraction and distortion of reality, thus creating a visual interplay between positions of tradition and modernity.
Marcos Mauro
Pasionaria
Pasionaria represents the consequences of our current way of life, as conceived by choreographer Marcos Morau. A future where human beings would have lost their vitality through individualism and transhumanism. The gloomy universe of the spectacle thus seems sanitized of all affect, all passion, and consequently, humanity. All that remains is the labor force that is tirelessly busy vacuuming or handling packages of products. Ringing phones, doors or other objects constantly capture the attention of the protagonists who have become puppets. Manipulated by outside forces, instead of being driven by their deep desires, the humans of this dystopia merge into simple working robots.
KAZUHIRO YAMANAKA
sound cloud
London-based designer kazuhiro yamanaka has created the ‘sound cloud’ a light-emitting quantum glass speaker system installation for saazs ‘a glass house’ program. the structure is composed of five interactive monolithic glass panels, formed with the intention of modelling the integration of innovative glass within architecture and design. the sound and light radiating from ‘sound cloud’ shift in unison, their synchronization may be altered by the viewer as they adjust their aural and visual experience by means of a touch-screen controller.
yamanaka aspired for the visitors to ‘be able to hear the sound move from one to another, jumping back and forth and echoing from the panels.’
a sound module is attached to each panel. as it vibrates,the three layers of glass move at a frequency, which creates optimum sound quality. the sound for the installation was developed by the france-based sound designer, gling-glang. yamanaka and gling-glang devised a soundscape by which ‘sound cloud’ visitors were able to sense the sculptural construction of the music in walking through the installation’s glass-paneled pathway.
the glass is outfitted with a light-emitting system known as ‘LED in glass’, invented by quantum glass. through this technology, the panels become a source of light. the ‘sound cloud’ is illuminated as the LED bars are fitted around the edge of the panel in order to direct beams of light through the edge of the extra clear glass sheet. as a result, light refraction occurs from the front side by means of a white enamel screen print on the opposite side.
yamanaka chose to slightly obscure the brightness of the glass sound system by creating a thin layer from millions of light dots, culminating in a cloud-like shape.

The Irresistible Powers of Silent Talking
The Irresistible Powers of Silent Talking – это установка, исследующая автоматизированные системы распознавания обмана и их использование для наблюдения за границей. Он основан на алгоритме iBorderCtrl, который был разработан для сканирования микровыражений лиц мигрантов, въезжающих в ЕС. После того, как виртуальный аватар впервые дал интервью человеку, iBorderCtrl определяет уровень его правдивости, используя нераскрытый набор критериев. По сути, он принимает решения на основе алгоритмических предположений об истине или обмане.

pileus: internet umbrella
Pileus is an umbrella connected to the Internet to make walking in rainy days fun. Pileus has a large screen on the top surface, a built-in camera, a motion sensor, GPS, and a digital compass. The current prototype has two main functions: photo-sharing and 3D map navigation.The photo function is connected to a major web service: Flickr API. A user can take photo with a camera on the umbrella, and pictures are uploaded to Flickr in two minutes with context tags via a wireless Internet connection. User can also enjoy theirselves watching photo-streams downloaded from Flickr with simple operation of wrist snapping.
