Hye Yeon Nam Wonderland
Space takes on multiple definitions. For me, I understand space as the sum of cultural and social forces that act on me. Through the space, my body feels all changes around me instantly and intimately. When I move from Korea to the United States, my body became a gauge that felt my displacement and recognized not only the conformity inflicted on me in the United States, but it also allowed me to deconstruct the rule from my hometown that I had taken for granted as normal.
In my video piece, I attempt to convey the feeling of displacement and conformity by acting of walking. I perform walking forward and other people seem to be walking backward. However, I was walking backward in the real scene and I made it simply reversed. The space of being neither here following correct rule nor there following incorrect rule is precisely what I try to convey in this video.

Mark Treston Nitro Carnival
In my photographic art work the body is one of excess - it queries boundaries and ordered categories while at the same time, questioning idealised forms and classical aesthetics. Herein, the body is one in flux, amid a constant process of reformation and re-emergence. The themes in this work highlight the vital part played by the material body in shaping our experience. In Nitro Carnival, the body is juxtaposed with a systematic space, the units of which bring measure, order and unity to the space, while at the same time dematerializing its actual physicality.
The information contained within five photographs is used to synthesis images into sound. Sound waves are created solely from the data captured within the images.
These images were inspired by the minimal art of Dan Flavan and the writting of Mikhail Bakhtin. The images represent the materiality and de-materializing of both space and the human condition.
The sound produced from the five photographs was then used to construct a moving representation of the images.

Chris Coleman The Magnitude of the Continental Divides
"The Magnitude of the Continental Divides" is an animation exploring the ways we define ourselves and our nations. It is a journey between many locations in various states of withdrawal and aggression. Borders become weaponized and damage is always dealt from afar. The individual is caught in the midst, unable to separate themselves, unable to define identity without place. Sound Design by David Fodel.

liesbeth Liesbeth Koot - Light
Liesbeth makes performances, installations and films. Ideas are developed around experiments with dance in relation to the context of plastic arts and the context of film. These experiments focus on the difference of experience of time and space in theatre on one hand and exhibition spaces on the other hand and on the (im) possibilities of editing in dance and film.
In Light the movement of a performer is made physically sensible by transforming it into abstract imagery and spatial moving sound. By leaving the performer out of the final result, the movement is experienced from inside - from a zero-point of orientation - instead of observed from an external point of view.

An experimental animation exploring the "Stratastencil" technique that I've devised. Inspired by the Stratacut technique, Stratastencil is an additive process. Stratacut removes material to reveal another layer, while this technique adds another layer while still showing the layer before it.

still Santiago Caicedo Moving Still
The routine of the daily train, with the same point of departure, same point of arrival, same route without surprise...the monotony of a road too often taken, those incessant round trips. The head against the window, images that pass by outside. Which rhythm do we choose, or beat to follow? Wondering, if we could change our lives, would we? And wondering, whether we still even wish to change tracks.

Genki Ito Jemapur | Clarte
The latest film by W+K Tokyo Lab creator, Genki Ito.
A curiosity toward science unfolds into an unknown world...
Taking as its inspiration the sub-atomic world of a nuclear fusion reaction,
Clarte visually re-imagines this microcosm into a beautifully poetic
animation, pulsing and flowing along with Jemapur’s dark and textured sound.
Experimenting with HDV recording, analog footage of milk floating on water,
sediment in rotten wine, and caustics from reflected projector lights were
all incorporated into the digital animation.

Magnus Engsfors Suddenly
