Gallery front view / Work by Anaisa Franco “Branded Schizophrenia”

Gallery front view / Work by Anaisa Franco “Branded Schizophrenia”. “The work creates a blinking animated sequence of 100 brands displayed using a LED Ball in a fridge, drawing with the light in high velocity using technology developed by Taiwanese company Opti-Vision Co, Ltd. I want to reflect the speed of consume, the voracity of the market and its schizophrenic rhythm. I’m interested in the illusion that the LED creates to your eyes, is the same illusion a brand creates in your mind. It is also a game of subliminar message”. Anaisa Franco has a Master in Digital Art and technology at University of Plymouth in UK and graduated in Visual Arts at FAAP in Sao Paulo. In the last years she has been developing New media Artworks in Medialabs, residencies and commissions and has been exhibiting in America, Asia and Europe

Detail view of Dolbears Law. Live crickets, microphones, speakers, custom electronics. “Dolbear’s Law is a reactive sound installation/performance of live crickets chirping. It seeks to awaken the viewer’s awareness of the natural and artificial modes and rhythms of consumption and dissipation”. Vanessa Enriquez is a multidisciplinary artist focusing on the exploration of consciousness, principally through drawing, performance and sound. She graduated with a Master in Fine Arts from Yale University. Her work has been exhibited in Berlin, Boston, Hong Kong, Mexico City and more recently, New York and the UK. / Photo: Naoko Yasukochi

Detail: Two Yellow Bellies / Beth Dillon & Anton Benois, 2015. “The fridge is used as an archive, storing a selection of 7 meals from the Two Yellow Bellies project, vacuum-sealed in plastic” During a 2-month winter residency at Listhus Art Space, Olafsfjordur, Iceland, Anton Benois and Beth Dillon undertook a period of self-administered sun replacement therapy. The artists dined exclusively on meals that fell within the yellow spectrum. They consumed the colours of sunshine as they were consumed by darkness. Each meal was documented a published on the project blog: twoyellowbellies.tumblr.com

THE SCHOOL OF CYBERSEX (soft self portrait) / Boris Eldagsen, 2012 Installation. Gorenje fridge, cardboard, paper and sticker.

“In this personal work Boris Eldagsen uses webcam footage and voice excerpts of people he had cybersex with between 2000 and 2003. Exposing their guided masturbation he draws an indirect and unflattering portrait of himself, a discomforting yet honest reflection of what lies at the heart of this private addiction of many. Combining split screen and flipped webcam imagery with a heartbeart-driven soundscape the work examines another redemptive way of losing oneself”. Boris Eldagsen lives and works in Berlin. http://www.eldagsen.com/cybersex/

Performance on a SMEG fridge FAB50X 362L, meat suit, matches and post it. “The artist identifies himself with a piece of meat in order to meet his user and finally to give him something else than food”Stefano Cassetti is a conceptual designer with a background in fine arts and industrial design. He uses contemporary art disruptively to investigate social behavior, instinct and perception. Does he practice art as an industrial designer or a feature movie actor? Does not?.
