Doppelgänger
When one spacecraft embarks on its journey, another is launched at the same time in a parallel reality. Alice, a solitary astronaut, is teleported to a distant planet, and so is her double. When Alice and her ship return, she assumes her mission has failed and she has somehow returned home; but she has, in fact, arrived at a world where everything is the reverse of what she once knew. Doppelgänger presents a nuanced and layered parable that powerfully addresses the slippery notion of objective truth, and the position of the ‘other’ in contemporary society.

种子大教堂
大教堂的建筑是Heatherwick 2003年在英国埃塞克斯(Essex)的Sitooterie II作品中的精美画。英国馆的最初设计策略确立了三个目标,以满足外国联邦办公室的主要期望,即该馆应成为世博会上最受欢迎的五个景点之一,但要用其他西方国家的一半预算来建造。第一个目的是设计一个展馆,其建筑风格是其所展内容的直接体现。第二个想法是确保在其周围有较大的公共空间,以便游客可以放松身心并选择进入凉亭建筑,或者从一个安静,无排队的有利位置清楚地看到它。三,在其他数百个相互竞争的展馆,活动和计划中,它将是独一无二的。

Machine with 22 Scraps of Paper

 

I often make a series of machines based on the same idea, exploring different mechanical solutions and designs. This was the second in the series and the first to use oscillating off-center wheels as cams to drive the control arms. Each scrap is activated in two places. The mind is very acute and recognizes instantly the manner in which energy flows through a system. Here, the center point always leads the peripheral point. This is vitally important in allowing the scrap to feel as if it is flying.

ФИЛИПП ШЕЕРЕР
Digital Bildbau No 02

The series of images with the title “Bildbauten“ deals with the effect and the claim to credibility of images of architecture that appear to be photographs. Frontal views of fictional architectures serve as an example. By means of their exaggerated and orchestrated way of representation, they model themselves on the object- like appearance and the formal language of contemporary architecture in a rather ironic way.

CAJSA VON ZEIPEL

Cajsa von Zeipel works in a large-scale format with explicit references to fashion as well as to the masters of the Renaissance. She models her over-dimensioned sculptures in Styrofoam and the final form is covered by a layer of plaster.
