Prothesis Gallivantis questions an outdated view of prostheses, one where they are seen as clumsy and inhumane. The body extensions are not functional, but purely impressionistic, made for flirting with your body and use dance as a narrative medium. To make awkward but elegant shapes with prosthetics.

Step out of reality. A contemporary phantasmagoria Eigengrau is an immersive cinematic experience, a ritual in total darkness that solely uses light, haze, sound, and movement. A light cylinder, a reference to the magic circle, takes the audience through a narrative of various mental states. Inspired by phantasmagoria, the work creates a perceptual illusion, a temporary escape in a contemporary setting. Eigengrau is supported by Amsterdam Funds of the Arts, Creative Industry Fund NL, The Netherlands Film Fund, and Fonds Kwadraat. Website DDW Page

She started experiencing with 3D while working as an art director in advertising, specialised in beauty and luxury.

2. Intimacy and slowing down
#intimacy #inside #what do we really want or did we forget #quiet #slowing down #not going for jobs but find back the feeling or need behind that #real priorities

In Islam, the soul (Al-Ruh) primarily refers to the breath of life blown into a living creature by God, which departs the physical body when you die.
As a Muslim, it’s essential to note that I do not aim to showcase a soul but only its metaphoric journey.

Exhale

Breathe

The photo exhibition Point of You was created after an extensive research into prejudices and stigmas. The people portrayed each have to deal with this on a daily basis in their own way. But what does such a stigma do? The answers were as painful as they were clear. DDW Page This concept for a portable lie detector uses a camera to detect your conversational partner’s facial expressions and uses this to determine whether they are telling the truth. Useful for uncertain millennials, but also for protection of the elderly and other vulnerable groups.

3. Discomfort & Mass Extinction
#discomfort #climate #apocalypse #mass-extinction #XR #fake safety excuse #consuming less #excuses #overload
Katrijn’s artistic practice brings into play more-than-human perspectives. Her work has a focus on multi-sensorial experiences, storytelling and material design. She explores the evolving perception of (non)human bodies, blurring the boundaries between the self/other and the physical/digital realm. Katrijn recently graduated from BA Design Art and Technology (former Interaction Design) at ArtEZ Arnhem (NL) in 2021.

Interactive lo-tech installation that challenges the visitor to take a different view at litter. Take a look at plastic waste (collected at the Pieterpad) with a different eye: this mix of high & low tech shows the inner beauty of a recycled material. A shame to throw it away!

Fashion. Take a look at the development of Maartje’s latest collection: use of a 3D pen gives a personal, natural touch to the otherwise geometric perfection of 3D printing. The shimmering materials and metallic effects simulates the look of the minerals and crystals formed over millions of years by the shifting of the earth’s plates. Each design contains about 900 hours of work: a piece of cake compared to the time taken by Mother Earth.

In the run-up to the DDW and during the week itself, Eindhoven based peace activist Hans Matheeuwsen is being prepped for his new role as ‘Peaceman’. Can he become a superhero during the DDW? Follow it on this page.


What can one man do to change the course of the world when it comes to war and peace? Then you have to become a superhero!

Hans Matheeuwsen has been running the peace office in Eindhoven for over thirty years, from which he offers independent information and documentation that focuses on the issues of war and peace. From his office he also fights the weapons industry in Eindhoven on a daily basis. It’s David versus Goliath.

Thanatophobia is commonly referred to as the fear of death. More specifically, it can be a fear of death or a fear of the dying process. It’s natural for someone to worry about their own health as they age. It’s also common for someone to worry about their friends and family after they’re gone. Veteran Second Life artists and visionaries Arahan Claveau (UK) and Nebulosus Severine (USA), from the ArthOle collective, have reunited for this year’s Manifestations online festival with a special interactive 3D Art installation and short film.
“You can ban me, but you can’t stop me”
The virtual alter-ego of Oscar Wagenmans – a Dutch theatre director and actor – SaveMe Oh is an infamous character in Second Life, where she is often labelled as a troll, griefer and even virus. The artistic community of Linden Lab’s virtual world is terrified by the idea that SaveMe Oh could show up unannounced during a vernissage, creating havoc. In the attempt to prevent a possible raid, the sims (or rather her haters) have been trying to protect themselves by banning her since 2007, when Wagenmans first appeared online. SaveMe Oh’s interventions in Second Life disrupt both the social conventions and shared rules of the real world, which are replicated online. Why do people feel obliged to act in Second Life as if they were in IRL, instead of realizing their full creative potential? This is the key question posed by SaveMe Oh.

– quote Gemma Fantacci
