joe winter

joe winter's 'xerox astronomy and the nebulous object-image archive' is"an installation in two parts: 1) a central kinetic sculpture and 2) the presentation of the image archive the sculpture produces. the first part places an office photocopier at the center of a mechanical model of the universe. in this model, a group of desklamp-esque arms orbit robotically, maneuvering light sources above the bed of the copier, the system's observation and recording device. by continually documenting, through photocopies, the paths of the orbiting objects, the copier produces images suggestive both of various forms of scientific vision (astrophotography, sonography, etc) and paranormal/hoax photography." see more here.

marjolijn dijkman

marjolijn dijkman's project 'the free world' explores "the so called ‘ghosthotel’ in the vrijbroekspark in mechelen, belgium. originally intended as a grand urban vision for the provincial city of mechelen, this ruin has become fossilized, a failed utopia in the middle of a nature reserve. due to too high speculation and constructive problems (literally built upon mud) the construction has never been completed. besides a kind of virtual archeologic reconstruction of a never completed building, this work is also a speculation on the current broader issue of abandoned building projects around the world and possible future scenarios to come." see more here and here.
