Dear Esther
“A deserted island… a lost man… memories of a fatal crash… a book written by a dying explorer.”
“Dear Esther” is a ghost story, told using first-person gaming technologies. Rather than traditional game-play the focus here is on exploration, uncovering the mystery of the island, of who you are and why you are here. Fragments of story are randomly uncovered when exploring the various locations of the island, making each journey a unique experience.

when you are close to me i shiver
sound design: Alexander Martinz
“when you are close to me I shiver” is an algorithmically controlled live simulation, a real-time generated virtual reality that takes place in a version of the future in which humans, out of desperation, gather in masses on the last remaining piece of land. Inspired by the walrus scene in the documentary “Our Planet” narrated by David Attenborough and produced by Silverback Films, the project proposes an intense scenario encompassing our environmental and personal crises. It reflects on how we identify and connect ourselves in different realities while addressing the human condition in a world in ecological and therefore social crisis. On the tablets, virtual cameras scan the environment from various point of views, like surveillance drones. On the main screen, a similar camera randomly targets and focuses on different situations while a familiar voice-over narrates the tragic story.

A Single Composite
A Single Composite is a series of kinetic installations and projection apparatuses that stretch, twist, and loop film strips containing declassified and other found reconnaissance footage. Using reconstituted digital printer chassis, this cinematic enterprise is projected on walls, ceilings, and floors, to form a series of individual moments of surveillance and implied violence.

The look elsewhere
The work, which in this video version is coupled with uncanny virtual landscapes, blurs the boundaries between the real and the simulated, while expanding the artwork into the virtual via the VR-headset wearing dancers. The artwork captures the entangled play between the participants, but also provides the viewer with a new perspective—opening a window onto the virtual dimension of the performance. The borders keep on fading, from the point where technology begins and physicality ends.

La Membre Fantôme
For the installation ‘le membre fantôme’, vanessa beecroft takes the visitor back to the classical language of sculpture through a conceptual perspective, leading us towards an intimate gallery room inhabited by timeless statuary. shown at the 2015 venice biennale, beecroft presents a scene that is visible only at a distance, where the viewer must look through a crevice carved out of two marble walls. Through the panels, we see fragments of a stone garden, rich in archaeological allures and echoes of early twentieth century avant-garde. the archive of memory is here a tribute in bronze – placed at the centre of the installation – to marcel duchamp’s ‘étant donnés’, a reference model for her research that combines personal memories, historical and artistic impressions and a conceptual tension.
ANTHONY MICHAEL SIMON
Pink and Yellow in Excited States
2009年秋天，艺术家迈克尔·安东尼·西蒙（Michael Anthony Simon）离开了芝加哥，搬到了韩国乡下。他想体验一个新的地方和文化，希望能为西方艺术界无法超越的新鲜事物提供信息。最初从不同自然元素的“亮点”开始，迅速发展为一系列具有更广泛意义的系列。一天，西蒙（Simon）在选择下一张作品的位置时，在森林中遇到了一个巨大的蜘蛛网，并开始在快速发展的作品中作为下一个合乎逻辑的进展进行实验。当时他无法指望的是这个偶然发现将他带到何处。快进了六个月，西蒙的工作室已经变成了各种各样的工厂。许多熟练的工人在固定在各种几何底座上的塑料杆之间精心构建精美的同心结构。如果这些助手是人的话，他们的出现也就不足为奇了。经过数月的反复试验，西蒙开发出一种方法，使他可以利用许多人认为是自然界最恐怖的生物之一的内在艺术性。首先，他在周围地区找到并捕获了一种特别勤奋的蜘蛛，然后（在一些指导下）允许他们做蜘蛛最擅长的事情–建立网。完成后，他将蜘蛛返回到找到它们的地方，并开始在无数的薄雾状漆层上涂网。这个过程与我见过的任何过程都不一样，结果非常漂亮。雕塑既涉及形式主义，也涉及工业化劳动。该作品是更广泛对话的一部分，这种对话不存在于传统的东方或西方边界之内，而正是这种普遍的艺术创作方法使迈克尔·安东尼·西蒙（Michael Anthony Simon）的作品脱颖而出。随着他在韩国的一些大型机构展览，即将到美国的访问以及计划于2012年夏季发布的新网站的正式发布，我可以保证，我们会在Google中看到更多这位艺术家的作品。未来的岁月。

Dimensional Sampling (Series) is a digital contemporary art project started by Cao Yuxi Studio in 2019. The core concept of the project is based on the digital totem of the era totem represented by the QR code image style, and further re-examine the digital age of the new era. This AudioVisual version installation is collaborative project that created with Hong Kong based sound artist Lawrence Lau.

Vision Machines
“Vision Machines is all about tools that force people to look at art. In my current research on using robots to look at art, I question how people look at art. Is it possible to force someone to really see a work of art? Must a viewer be open to a subject to be critical and enjoy a painting? Such questions arise from the current debate on whether a work of art can only be meaningful for people who want to delve into it.”

Fake Hills
Diese Entwicklung befindet sich in der Küstenstadt Beihai im Süden Chinas an einem 800 Meter langen, schmalen Standort am Meer. Die grundlegende Geometrie des Schemas kombiniert zwei gemeinsame, jedoch gegensätzliche Architekturtypologien, das Hochhaus und den Bodenkratzer, wodurch eine wellige Gebäudetypologie entsteht, die zu einer Form eines Hügels führt. Die Geometrie der Architektur maximiert die potenziellen Ansichten für die Bewohner. Die durchgehende Plattform entlang des Daches wird zum öffentlichen Raum mit Gärten, Tennisplätzen und Schwimmbädern auf den künstlichen Hügeln. Jede Öffnung im Gebäude lässt die Meeresbrise durch und schafft Meerblick aus dem Inneren. Fake Hills strebt nach einer Lösung mit hoher Dichte und einem neuen Wahrzeichen für die Stadt und bietet eine verbesserte Erfahrung der Küste sowie die Möglichkeit einer ungehinderten Interaktion mit der Stadt und der weitläufigen Natur, der sie gegenübersteht.

Matt Johnson
Levitating Woman
The way American artist Matt Johnson (born 1978) experiments with shapes and materials is apt to take the spectator by surprise. His creations are endowed with whimsical as well as subtle aspects. Drawn towards the mysterious and spiritual, Johnson remains deeply rooted in art history as he comments on life’s complexities. He often chooses materials that seem to conflict with his subjects.

atro enlevo
Entouré d’une atmosphère dense obtenue par la manipulation de voix de chansons anciennes et utilisant divers fragments de compositions industrielles, élaborés selon les paramètres réglables utilisés dans des logiciels spécifiques manipulés par un contrôleur MIDI, l’œuvre «Atro Enlevo» conduit l’auditeur dans l’obscurité et sortilège mystérieux.
