Max Hattler: AANAATT

The ever-shifting shape of analogue futurism.
‘Hattler's elegantly choreographed object animation tilts the camera so that the mirrored table surface seems to be the ceiling. In smooth stop-motion replacements, he explores the abstract logic of tubes, discs, cylinders and other shapes as they grow, shrink, slide, and change to the ethereal murmur of ambient music.’ Cine Source Magazine

Aki Nakazawa: Drawing wishes

Aki Nakazawa: Drawing wishes

In today's globalized world with big infrastructure such as Internet, world-trades, and so on to have easy-access to our homeland, how can we recognize the exchange between circumstances and our identities? It could be easy to depend on your nostalgic home and not to go out to new world. Only the sky that I have never seen before makes me realize that I’m already out of my past.

Riichiro Mashima: Ski Jumping Pairs

Riichiro Mashima: Ski Jumping Pairs

Human silliness and nonsense are very romantic. This is a magnificent parody that tries to express the 'beauty of nonsense' through a definitive realization of the world of Pairs Jumping. This is also developing its official site, extra edition of a newspaper, etc.

Bright Future Ahead

Jan Verbeek
audio-visual installation with four synchronised projections; documentation: 07:00 + 16:35 split screen | DE, JP, 2006
Jan Verbeek: Bright Future Ahead

Jan Verbeek: Bright Future Ahead

The installation Bright Future Ahead creates a dense and floating atmosphere. Aspects of life in a mega-city world like Tokyo can be seen, contrasts in Japanese civilization. People reveal themselves as parts within well-organized systems. Routine activities are condensed to ambiguous choreographies. If there will be a bright future, this question remains unanswered.

Taro Takahashi: A Letter from Mr. Konnyakuro

A Letter from Mr. Konnyakuro

Can a letter come into life and how do we imagine it as living being? What will happen if this living being/letter sets of to a kind of different logic of survival in the contemporary city?
