ULTRADISTANCIA - Serie NEGRA Federico Winer

ULTRADISTANCIA is a fine art photographic work who uses Google Earths imagery to play with the way we see our planet from above, taking infinite tours over the earth to the encounter of geometries, shapes and topographies, natural and humans creations. ULTRADISTANCIA is a project about perception and a celebration of the multiple forms that photography can take, through the lens of a camera or through the screen of a computer. How we see what are we seeing will let us understand why we see the way we are seeing. .

EKKLESÍA  Miguel Arraiz García / David Moreno Terrón

It is an installation made with cardboard tubes with a metallic appearance atop a mosaic made of 96,000 wooden pieces.

During the Fallas festival in Valencia held every year the ultimate goal of these installations is to be burned to celebrate the arrival of spring.  In this context we built a structure entirely of cardboard and wood joints. The purpose was to investigate to what extent we could carry up this type of structure, and also to place in a traditional context a contemporary image to provoke the debate between tradition and modernity.

Nurmen / For Use

“Numen/For Use is a design collective working in the fields of scenography, industrial and spatial design and conceptual art. The group first formed in 1998. as a collaborative effort of industrial designers Sven Jonke, Christoph Katzler and Nikola Radeljković under the banner For Use. In 1999. they establish Numen as a collective identity covering all projects actualised outside the sphere of industrial design. The group’s early enterprises are characterized by experiments with impersonal design and radical formal reduction, deeply rooted in the tradition of high modernism and mainly applied to various synergetic total-design projects in Croatia.”

As If It Were Already Here Janet Echelman

“A monumental, aerial sculpture is suspended over Boston’s Rose Kennedy Greenway from May through October 2015 as the signature contemporary art installation in the Greenway Conservancy’s Public Art Program.

The sculpture for Boston spans the void where an elevated highway once split downtown from its waterfront. Knitting together the urban fabric, it soars 600 feet through the air above street traffic and pedestrian park.

The form of “As If It Were Already Here” echoes the history of its location. The three voids recall the “Tri-Mountain” which was razed in the 18th-century to create land from the harbor. The colored banding is a nod to the six traffic lanes that once overwhelmed the neighborhood, before the Big Dig buried them and enabled the space to be reclaimed for urban pedestrian life.”

Extreme Measures  Patryk Kuleta (aka Trynidada)

“Extreme Measures is a project where I shoot with mobile device and then in mobile app I change the reality. I like to multiply my subjects or keep it very minimal. It has to have a feeling of Extreme Measures.“

Geometric Apartment-House by Kochi Architect’s Studio 

Doomed for destruction in the suburbs of Tokyo, Kochi Architect’s Studio saved a set of apartment houses by refurbishing them. They modernized an ordinary single-family house with two stories by using the negative space of its interior to outline geometrical shapes. To accentuate the geometric nature of the home, Japanese Kochi Architect’s Studio painted each wall a different, vibrant color. The results are a contemporary finish with a surreal touch.

- This feeling of leaving city-life behind and getting connected to nature and experiencing our natural environment is the driving idea of our proposal. With a flexible structural system and connected it with comfortable spaces, we have the opportunity to create a variety of buildings of different sizes. depending on the needs, the size and amount can grow: from single rooms to a family structure, to a size of a clubhouse or even up to larger scales, which fombine more functions of a typical hotel like a lobby or restaurant within one structure. All is depending on the needs and on the demands, but each building connects in a very responsible diaglog to our natural environment.
