Hiroto Ikeuchi - Fiction as a fact
“From broken motherboards, plastic to electrical wiring intricately moulded together to establish a cyberpunk apocalyptic aesthetic, he amplifies and investigates the connection and relationship between humans and technology. He delves into the world of transhumanism as a spiritual transcendence and the future of humanity in augmented bodies. Not only are his dioramas kicking the cyberpunk genre into even high gear, but they are also made to function. His models raise important questions, albeit fascinating to examine; they also operate and serve as a practical contraption for everyday use.”
Melissa Schriek - A place of constant movement
“Her photography visualises the city as a rhythm that we come to be part of, once our feet step onto the concrete streets. The humming buzz of the traffic mingled with the bustling murmuring of people conversing on their way to work. Our metropolitan is composed of strangers and familiar objects: the ubiquitous pavement, a slightly bent street pole, a bright orange construction cone, or a abandoned rusty bike. They all seem trivial and significant at the same time.”
