A story for the Edward Snowdens and Daniel Ellsbergs in all of us

The moon landing is one of the greatest milestones in human history. hat if the moon landing wasn’t real? eet Jack Torrance, the man who made it all happen. The Trip is an Instagram interactive storytelling experience that tells his story. Follow his adventure to the dark side of politics and manipulation and learn how surveillance technologies have changed since 1969. The story blends original NASA footage and unclassified FBI documents in an immersive experience. Truth? Lies?

ABOUT THE AUTHORS
The Trip is written and directed by The Kissinger Twins, award-winning director duo, and was inspired by a real-life event. During their holiday on American Samoa, the Kissinger Twins met Jack Torrance, a singular 80-year-old, who claimed that he was the mastermind behind NASA’s moon landing. "Jack finds mobile technology and social media as a threat to privacy, so telling his story via Instagram became a subversive choice. He was initially reluctant, but soon understood that we needed to use the most relevant tools of modern storytelling to amplify his message.”

“Our pursuit of the intersectionality between art and technology has delivered another mesmerizing original art piece for the Dolby Gallery, San Francisco”

Leviathan’s Metamorphosis is an audiovisual odyssey that extracts brilliant color data from masterpieces of the past century to create an entirely new experience of art. Employing newly developed coding techniques, Leviathan dissects a curated selection of paintings into abstract digital forms. The generative visuals, which are set rhythmically to a composed ambient soundscape, evolve through time and space — transforming the unique LED canvas at Dolby Gallery into an immersive, meditative experience.

This synergy between sight and sound is custom-designed for Dolby Gallery. Rich color volume data, inspired by Dolby Vision technology, is brought to life along with a sonic experience mixed in Dolby Atmos. Moving audio dynamically travels across 52 full-range speakers and 34 subwoofers to immerse visitors in a fusion of art and science.

This work is part of a series of Dolby exhibitions that explore the leading edge of audio and imaging technologies in partnership with contemporary artists

Within 15 Minutes - The average time between twins when they are born

Alma Haser has always found identical twins fascinating, as do most people. It is the incredible realisation that there are two versions of the exact same person, hard to tell apart, unless they wear different clothes or hairstyles. They often finish each other's sentences, as they are one and the same person.

Monozygotic or identical twins occur when a single egg is fertilized to form one zygote which then divides into two separate embryos. Monozygotic twins are genetically almost identical. Identical twins do not have the same fingerprints because, even in the confines of the womb, the foetuses touch different parts of this environment, creating small variations in the same fingerprint and therefore making each of them unique.

Alma photographed sets of identical twins and made them into identical jigsaw pussies. She then swaps every other piece of their puzzles, completely mixing them half and half. Not always knowing where their eyes, mouths and lips would end up, the result is a pair of eerie, unrecognisable portraits. No longer seen as completely identical, they are unique.

New York artist CJ Hendry created the series of seven single-coloured rooms for her Monochrome exhibition, to display new images she created of crumpled Pantone swatches.

Each space built within the 2,000-sqm warehouse in Greenpoint is decorated in just one colour, from walls to furniture, objects and plants.

Modular plastic bricks by Everblock, which are similar to Lego but larger, were used to build the partitions – onto which the artist has mounted her artworks bearing different tones of the same hue - via Dezeen

“Art is the first thing [my collectors] add to a space and they design their entire home around their collection. I have taken this concept to an extreme level. Each room has been designed to emulate the art on the wall. The art is the focus, everything matches the art.”

Gemini - The long awaited Main Titles for OFFF Barcelona's 18th edition by GIANTSTEP.

"This sequence is about McLuhan's famous quote "The medium is the message" infused with Greek mythology, Gemini. We adopted the story of Gemini and paralleled their story with the history of media; their secret birth, sisterhood, and death/resurrection along with letterpress printing, broadcast transmutation, and computer/AI world.

Carefully composed shots allow the viewer to experience our poetic imagination of the story that we have arranged. We made sure the visual rhythm was achieved in the manner of visual poetry by repetition of imagery."

Dive into this mesmerising sequence that explores a narrative masterpiece presenting each artist who joined OFFF Barcelona 2018.

Hunger magazine collaborated with digital artist Eliska Kyselkova to create a special editorial aptly titled "Pixel Future"

“Now it feels like your digital self is more important then the reality. Most of us spend the majority of the day checking our phones and laptops and this digital experience will get even more immersive with future developments of augmented and virtual reality. We’ve also seen the creation of robot Sophia by Hanson Robotics in 2015 – [the] first AI with more than 50 facial expressions – and the ability of recognising faces thanks to the computer algorithms. This connection to digital reality and modern progress was a big inspiration for me.”

Young Australian artist Olympia Antoniadis welcomes to her inner world. Voyeuristic and playful, Antoniadis allures the viewer into quiet spaces exploring the domestic territories of others. Her work is commonly based in the bedroom where one finds them self in a familiar space, intimate and calm expressing the most benign potential of human life.

Antoniadis' fixation with fabric lends itself to the moulding and fleshlike nature that envelops her subjects, softly building forms and provoking a playground of possibilities. Her paintings are often focused on the mundane where common occurrences are shifted and provoked by the figures that emerge.
