Bowerbird
Manon Kündig’s master 2012 graduate menswear collection called ” Bowerbird” is full of digital prints and acid colours. Photoshop is probably one of the most important tools of her collection and she confesses being completely addicted to online research. Like the bird, she was inspired by to create her collection, bird stealing rubbish to create its nest; Manon stole Google images to create her prints. We asked Manon about her work and the relationship between the Internet and her collections.

IRIS VAN HERPEN

АЙРИС ВАН ЭРПЕН
イリス ヴァン ヘルペン
Prodige de la mode, l’artiste plasticienne défie la nature et les lois de la physique en donnant vie à des sculptures sur lesquelles l’espace n’a pas d’emprise. Façonnés dans des matériaux innovants (polyamide, rhodoïd, Magiflex, plexiglas…), aussi étonnants qu’inquiétants, les créations futuristes d’Iris van Herpen relèvent d’une approche expérimentale de la couture où la virtuosité technique se conjugue à l’intelligence artificielle d’une technologie digitale (la stéréo-lithographie).

빛나는 라인
“사람은 자연스럽게 빛에 이끌려, 직관적이다. 사람들이 느꼈으면 하는 것은 한 번도 본 적 없는 친숙함입니다. 자연스러우니까 사람들이 끌리는 것 같아요. 그것은 미친 기술을 사용합니다. 많은 일들이 일어나고 있습니다. 그러나 그것을 보여주지 않고 결과는 더 인간적이고 거의 생물학적입니다.” 아시프 칸

The Constant Gardeners
S’inspirant d’un jardin zen japonais traditionnel, quatre bras de robots industriels sont disposés autour d’une vaste toile de gravier avant de se réveiller et de commencer à ratisser la surface. Dans une série de performances quotidiennes, ces « jardiniers » travaillent ensemble pour créer des illustrations uniques et évolutives représentant les mouvements des athlètes. Générées par une série d’algorithmes sur mesure, qui analysent des séquences vidéo d’événements olympiques et paralympiques, certaines illustrations représentent un mouvement qui se déroule dans le temps tandis que d’autres mettent en lumière un moment sportif spectaculaire. Une méditation sur la tradition, l’artisanat et les rôles de la technologie, The Constant Gardeners offre aux visiteurs un espace paisible pour une introspection tranquille. L’œuvre explore un nouveau récit autour de la robotique, montrant que cette technologie est une force capable de créativité artistique et d’action expérimentale, qui joue un rôle déterminant dans notre cheminement vers un avenir plus heureux et plus sain.

Sophia the robot
Sofia, le robot humanoïde (android) ultra-réaliste fabriqué par Hanson Robotics, devient le premier robot a obtenir une citoyenneté officielle ! C’est l’Arabie Saoudite qui a officialisé il y a quelques jours l’existence de Sofia, devenant le premier pays à reconnaitre le statut de citoyen d’un robot et d’une intelligence artificielle. Sofia, dont nous avions déjà parlé l’année dernière, est un robot ultra-réaliste capable de tenir une conversation, de reconnaitre les gens et d’interagir avec son environnement, mais surtout possède sa propre personnalité et des expressions faciales réalistes.

Leilanni Todd – Floating – United States

Floating explores the concept of surrendering and freeing oneself by allowing oneself to float, symbolizing overcoming adversity and mastering self-confidence. Inspired by her grandmother’s journey to overcome her fear of water through swimming, the work uses water and sea creatures as symbols of resilience and transformation. The personal narrative behind the work adds depth to its exploration of overcoming fears and discovering inner strength.

LIQUID DIAGRAM
Twelve installation units formed a line across the exhibition space. Each unit consisted of a round-bottom flask in a stainles steel stand, with a vertical glass tube attached. Each flask was filled about a quarter-full with distilled water. When a resistance coil heated the air inside the flask, it expanded, forcing the water up into the glass tube. The level of the water rose when the air was being heated and began to drop slowly as it cooled down.

Uma máquina que constantemente varre uma fita verde sobre o chão e, assim, cria padrões maleáveis ao mesmo tempo em que o material verde também move a máquina. Surge uma dança inacabável entre máquina e material.

РОН ГИЛАД
Ron Gilad mora e trabalha na cidade de Nova York. Os objetos híbridos de Ron Gilad combinam inteligência material com jogo estético. Eles ficam na linha gorda e deliciosa entre o abstrato e o funcional. Seus trabalhos tratam da relação entre o objeto e sua função, questionando nossas percepções. Variando de edições únicas a limitadas e peças de produção, as obras não têm “data de validade” e residem em coleções públicas e privadas em todo o mundo. Gilad faz perguntas incessantes na forma 3D e fabrica respostas que criam uma arena para dúvidas férteis. Metaforicamente, Gilad é um linguista, criando sua própria linguagem. Ele aprende a origem das “palavras” e desenvolve novos “sinônimos”.

Wrapped up

「ここに展示されているインスタレーションは、同じサイズの12枚の吊り下げられた鏡で構成されています。青いテープの連続線が各鏡の壁と表面に沿って走っています。テープは130cmの固定高さで貼り付けられています。実空間と反射空間の違いを消し去る。重なり合う鏡の列は、作品にも反映されている観客の視点に応じて、空間が後退したり前進したりするような動きを生み出します。 彫刻は鏡との関係に引き込まれ、順番にそれらを取り巻く観客が描かれました。 クラシンスキーは、環境内の作業だけでなく、環境全体がどのように体験されたかに関心を持っていました。 彼はキャリアが終わるまで、アートを展示するという伝統的な慣習に疑問を投げかけ続けました。「ヘレン・オマリー
