Troika a été commissioné par Artwise Curators pour créer un objet signature dans l'entrée du nouveau lounge de British Airways dans le Heathrow Terminal 5 de Londres. Cloud est donc un module digital de 5 mètres de long dont la surface est couverte de 4638 flip-dots individuelement programmés par ordinateur pour faire de l'oeuvre une sculpture cinétique.

Museo Aero Solar - The First Flying Museum

"The First Flying Museum, build with recycled plastic bag, that flies using only solar energy. A solar flying canvas. Any plastic bag of any size, color, and thickness is useful.

From village to village, from country to country, from continent to continent, from solar system to the un-known, the “museo aero solar” will be traveling and growing with solar and human energy.

Each time it lands there will be more plastic bags added to it from the local community which will determine its shape and content, and in this way increase the flight distance.

A museum where dimensions, shape, color and location are in constant mutation – the more bags, the bigger its dimensions and the larger its collection. ...where the air is his own territory.

.... a viable solar vehicle as an alternative to the un-sustainability of our airplanes. In search of new frontiers, where each launch will be questioning and challenging the existing military air division of this world...

Museo Aero Solar - The First Flying Museum – a project initiated by Tomas Saraceno

Red Room by Jana Kleine-Kalmer

Red Room by German design student Jana Klein-Kalmer : "The interior designers’ exhibition room during university HAWK Hildesheims’ November show 2007 is artwork and worth being exhibited itself. Taking place yearly, the exhibition shows student works of the past semseters and always arouses the question how to present the school properly to the public. This time, a competition was announced that 3rd year student Jana Kleine-Kalmer won with her red room.

A crater-shaped element appears as if ingested into the room. A funnel - openening to the top - lets the established room outlines disappear and evokes an unknown perception. The ground and the angulared walls are painted in a strong red and attract visitors from far away.

For the exhibits, the walls become plateau – carrying plans and models – lying on different landings or hovering in front of the red walls.

The crater’s opening breaks out and folds itself into the corridor, building a canal to enter and leave. This sculptural form and the signal colour red make up a strong flow into the exhibition space. The construction of the modules, a decent integration of presentation panels and the homogeneity of the surfaces create an exciting feeling and sense of space."
