Jeongmoon Choi - nature in the urban space

Jeongmoon Choi, a Korean native, Berlin based artist, who develops some sort of 3D Ariadne's architectures that beautifully and mysteriously shine in a ultraviolet environment. Captivating conceptual creations that seduce the visitors by evolving into interactive surroundings, the newly-born-space within the space.
 
The artist uses light and thread to create installations. A reminiscent of previously produced LASER shows. However, he can play with aspects such as perspective and illusion with a renewed and strong approach.

History`s Shadow

 David Maisel was born in 1961 in New York (USA) and currently lives in San Francisco. He is visual artist and photographer, graduated from the School of Design at Harvard (Cambridge), later he studied at California College of the Arts (San Francisco).

Inspired by a x-ray machine at the Getty Institute, Maisel started to look for artifact's x-rays through the archives of museums, uncovering these ghostly emanations of light, and then scanning, re-photographing and  manipulating them digitally to later present them as History's Shadow project.

Maisel's latest book History's Shadow conglomerate 21 pictures (40"x30", edition of seven). Like many of his previous projects,History's Shadow illustrates a keen interest in the manner in which photography can combine art, science and a sense of humanity.

All the senses were hungry. All senses WERE hungry during the whole performance. 

A battle through the darkness.

How does the image communicates to the soul reflected on the retina, so that the soul can see things? What can do touch the soul? Not things, but the waves exciting the eye. Kepler himself was already aware of this: "Like this representation [idolum, says the Latin text] or that painting is linked to the spirits that inhabit the nerve and the retina.."

The GRIND by Jefta van Dinther, Minna Tiikkainen and David Kiers is an "immediate experience" not worth to miss.
