Phillip: analogue captcha

 
Type the two words

What if captchas get part of our analog world in case that there are just as much androids as real human beings on the planet? How do they look? Where can we find them?

Philipp: Smartphones in Movies

 
Smartphones in Movies

In this collection of images I will show you how the understanding of particular movies would have changed using smartphones.
I will show that even using this modern technics can be a huge failure. Furthermore how Smartphones would have changed history if they played a major role back then.

Catalina: Miniaturized

The man (in west) conceived and appropriates the objects, perceive them and constructed a world full of symbolisms connected to this objects. Every day life enter a sociological dimension in what we live. We can see it in the way in which the man transforms his objects in property, in subjects of desire carriers of signs and social value.

We could say that in our context the person doesn't owns anymore the objects, the object owns the person.

This work consist of the search of different subjects and their "special" objects. Objects that are connected to memories, other persons or states of mind. This objects and their subjects will be photographed and then inserted in an imaginary world, where the scale proportions will be inverted. The final result will be an animation that will tell us a little story.


Georgios: Interiors

 
Gymn Office

The uploaded pictures are photos of a paper model of a room and the model's actual dimensions are about 40 x 60 x 26 cm. This interior is part of a series of three rooms which are connected. The building of the model is still in progress and there are some parts (furniture, details) that are still missing. The idea behind this pictures is to make a video in this interior. The camera will be moving slowly into the space and at some point it will stay still for a while. All the changes in the video will be just very discrete movements of the object or changes regarding the lights, or some shadows (hints of human presence in space). In this video I will work with video tracking in the model and also with stop-motion technique.

The idea is to create an interior space consisting of three different rooms, the attribute of which is not clear. I am interested in mixing different kinds of objects/ symbols in this office-like environment and present a juxtaposing view of it. I am particularly interested in expressing the uncanny element of architectural spaces and the transactions taking place in working environments.
