The theory of mind that never sleeps and is all around us. Generating images of our thoughts and forming new urban identities. Architecture is uncovering a new scale of geometry. But can computational architecture build a better future? From solar disco balls, an Algae powered Plant – AI Data tower to light channels – environments […]
Meet your new oncologist: A soft round body, warm-blooded with no teeth. Sipping some water with a beak that functions like a straw. Wobbling off in a green-gray, purple coat carrying roughly 10.000 feathers. While in many myths and legends highly respected, pigeons are less welcome on cobblestone and asphalt. Pigeon comes from the Latin […]
The act of taking. Festivals are a playground for expression but also cultural appropriation and theft are being redrawn. Unique speaks up for environmental Justice and is part of “Total Ethics Fashion” – working for a fashion system that upholds total ethics, by prioritizing the life of all animals, humans and non-human, and the planet. Her politics revolve […]
The stomping of dildo heels echoing through a green corridor. Everywhere she goes, she takes a bag of sour Maoam candy with her. Ella Douglas is the conceptualizer and designer who embraces her fluidity through scaling objects and performance art. Sculptures exploring themes of queerness and social commentary. The Central Saint Martin´s student adds distortions, where artificial intelligence can smurk through an argyle gown.
Her smile glistens at me, with gemstones on her teeth. A colourgon blending into eyelids. Naezrah Desir is the Make-Up artist who instruments her living avatar. Magnifying characters through fiction, nature and mythology. A fairy and nymph series with Kellan – ´the fairy of immortality and peace´, who was gifted with psychokinesis and telekinetic abilities. With a voice beyond Make-Up, Naezrah uses her platform to start conversations and elevate BIPOC and LGBTQAI+ artists in the industry.
A pearl clitoris glistening. Mantled in nacre, watching over the passengers walking by. The exhibition “Shift” shows artists installations in Magasin du Nord, Denmark's oldest department store. A collaboration with Designers´Nest. Each oval vacuum is filled with a vision. One portal was opened by fashion designer @vika.im_official and graphic designer @sandgaardstudio. A four meter high vulva created with fabric layering.
Will humans become multiplanetary? A star-munching "Pac Man" in the southern sky. With calcium in its teeth and nitrogen in its DNA. Dreaming to leave the luminous body and start a new life on another planet. Looking up, you see the sprinkled void. A catalyst for our dystopian ideas and extra-terrestrial creatures.
A waterproof cuticle rubbing against another. One orange dot sits on my forearm. The oval is shimmying from hair to hair. Two antennae wobble back and forth to smell. As if someone is tickling me with a pistil. I spot six legs that rush forward in a rowing motion. With a sponge-like, fleshy mouth and eyes on their genitals. Carrying ears on the belly. Tasting the air with their long feelers.
Standing inside an aperture scape. Or traveling to a desert laboratory by Frank Lloyd Wright. An interview with the architect Julian Bächle. From inhabiting a sidewalk to a sounded landscape with Virgil Abloh and Lucy Styles. I lived with Julian Bächle in a shared flat in 2013 – when he was studying at AA School of Architecture in London. The apartment had irregular sloping walls and blue carpets – but Julian’s room was different.
Moon jelly inside of Jean Giraud worlds. Amongst the jellyfish with an invisible wrist watch. The artist Jackie Moontan invites characters from the moon to planet earth.
