Pierre Chaumont is a conceptual artist living and working in Montreal, Canada. His interests surrounds systems of power and their resurgence in culture, technology and society.

“We provisionally give the name differance to this sameness which is not identical: by the silent writing of its a, it has the desired advantage to referring to differing; both as spacing / temporalizing and as the movement that structures every dissociation”

Following artist’s statement, “Differance is the questioning of inherent power structures within cultural, linguistic, technological or societal systems. By making this non-identical sameness at the heart of my art-making, I mimic, imitate, copy, tweak and ultimately alter these structures. I then present something visually familiar to the viewer while keeping this spacing at the forefront of their experience.

This process has two aims; firstly I wish to make these systems apparent to you, viewers, so as to question your own relation to it. Secondly, by giving a new understanding to what we know, I reveal the fragility of these systems and the possibility for individuals and communities to interact, take part in it, and reshape it.
No structure is infallible, nothing is stable ; the world is an ever changing photograph.”

Meditative Design is a creative extension of Krista Kim’s art practice, as she creates a meditative universe of the future.

“From the experience of the coronavirus pandemic that has gripped the world over the past two months, I realized that meditation is a universal tool to help us manage future instability and stress responses from massive disruption caused by future pandemic risk, climate change and automation. It is inevitable that our future will be unstable and chaotic for many years to come.

The world is ready to seek spiritually driven changes of how our civilization and economy are structured. Meditation has become a scientifically proven practice for the well-being of the individual and therefore, the well-being of society and the world. Millions of us are meditating en mass like never before and social media is helping us build community around it.

While in quarantine, I became inspired to create my vision of a world of meditativeness; my vision of how the practice of meditation can also be integrated into our every day lives through art, architecture, design and fashion. My vision is of a future based on the individual practice of meditation, extending to every aspect of our every day lives. I am inspired by Japanese Zen art, architecture and design. It’s very existence has shaped the world culture in profound ways, and will continue to impact art and design as it lives through my creations.

I believe there is hope for the future if more people meditate. We will manage stress, but most importantly, we can tap into our maximum creative potential. More than ever, creativity and collaboration are the antidote to fear and war. Beauty, collaboration, co-creation and meditation are the attributes that we must focus on collectively and globally in order to thrive and navigate opportunity amidst the chaos of disruption.

“I hope that we all gain insight, wisdom and compassion from this pandemic. I hope you are inspired to create a beautiful world.”

The work by Japanese artist Takashi Kuribayashi (1968) explores the boundaries that separate human civilization from the natural world. Kuribayashi was struck by the division of Germany into Eastern and Western states, which led him into an on-going consideration in various media of the theme boundaries.

His work is the outcome of being confronted with ‘restricted zones’ or ‘no-go areas’ in the aftermath of the Fukushima nuclear accident. Being faced with the impossible long-lasting and yet invisible borders, he set himself to investigate this and making these borders visible in his work by weaving a new flow of time with his installations.

“The truth resides in places that are invisible. Once you are aware of that there is a different world out of sight, you will be living in a different way.”

Florian Stumpe is a multidisciplinary Creative Director and Graphic Artist based in Berlin. He creates visual concepts and transforms them into various languages such as films, animations, physical spaces and objects.

The authenticity of his work lies in his creative process in which he blends his analogue and hands-on exploration approach with new digital tools. He narrates his stories through a fine aesthethic and the beauty in random coincidences - the result is a unique style that breaks through by reminding us of the human touch in a digital age.

A work by French artist Leonard Combier is like a riddle that can never quite be solved. Something always slips your notice or escapes your eye, resisting your attempt to unravel every clue. What attracted us to his work is an ongoing project featuring “tattooed” passports of travellers that Leonard has been doing for the last five years. Now he wants to bring an attention for this cause in terms of global situation

“L'eonard Combier’s work deals with causality and liberty. In a world where everything interrelates and can only be understood as a vast chain reaction, how is freedom conceivable? This applies as much to the artist who is caught in a system of his own creation, as to the viewer whose gaze finds no exit. The answer, I believe, lies in the Combier’s sense of humour. Humour provides the only solution, a multi-directional vector leading to different levels of interpretation, the choice of which is left up to the viewer. It pervades Combier’s entire work, from the bizarre figures to the comical texts, as the artist’s mischievous playfulness sets the scenes of his different worlds like those in a vaudeville play – save the final twist in the plot, which is never revealed. Yet there is always the mystery contact, whose phone number is etched into each work.”
