βArt is the interweaving of events and a person experiencing them. And through these relationships, through the search for an answer to the question of who this Other is, life, connection, and beauty manifest. The most important thing is the space between me and the Other. Meeting with another is always an event, an opportunity to experience it together as equals.β

Hetaera Psappha - 10 Years of Blossoming Silence
Hetaera Psappha
Hetaera Psappha is a video artist born in Moscow in the waning years of the Soviet era. Working all around the world, Lisa Minaeva (the artistβs real name) creates her wordless portraits in various places. Having started her project in London in 2012, she gathered over 100 portraits of artists, poets, musicians, and other people of different professions and backgrounds. After ten years of filming portraits, she feels more interested in it than ever.
A French actress sitting topless in a bathtub in Moscow; a young Indonesian woman looking at the camera with eyes full of tears in a hot Belgrade apartment; a celebrated Russian rapper squinting in the sun on a famous Saint Petersburg rooftop after an acoustic gig; a British painter, frozen in his chair, looking as if heβs about to attack β the Blossom of Silence project counts endless faces and hours of quiet contemplation. Being able to stop and look into another personβs eyes is a rare gift in a time of rapid news and information, and the lo-fi image created with a MiniDV camera helps the artist clear it of the filters we got used to so easily thanks to fashion magazines and Instagram. At times, the picture shakes and interrupts, and zooms in and out: leaving the footage βroughβ is the artistβs committed position.
Initial idea was to βcreate a collection of the most beautiful peopleβs portraitsβ, and, therefore, remake a famous Andy Warhol work. However, the goal changed fast as Hetaera Psappha realized βbeautifulβ does not always mean βinteresting to silently communicate withβ, and vice versa. According to the artist, the key to βinterestβ stays unclear after all these years: while some portraits are more loved by the audience than others, she never knows beforehand if a portrait is going to work out well or turn out to be boring and βsoullessβ. It depends on many factors, where the openness of the model often stays the most important one.
Among many famous and unknown faces, one stands out β Alina happens to be the only person Hetaera Psappha filmed more than once. From the very first shooting, she became the artistβs muse, whom she decided to film every year. The colourful and unexpected evolution of a teenage girl through the troubles and transformations of her adolescence years is a curious experience, βa project within a projectβ. And it is not the only one β in 2016 Lisa created a special collection Silent Poets, especially for Poetronica festival of contemporary poetry, sound art and video art.
As Hetaera Psappha says, filming portraits with no words doesnβt just help her rest after working with texts and words, which is the other big part of her life as a poet and scriptwriter. It helps her feel, build and share with her audience connections, which cannot be broken by borders, political systems, religions, classes and backgrounds. In such a way, when watching her portraits, everyone is free to build an imaginary connection with any of her models and try to read the mystery hidden in their eyes. After all, the eyes are the mirror of the soul, as long as one suggests it exists. And if it does, observing them is a useful and enriching practice.

Fine Art Photography by Julie Blackmon
Photography artist Julie Blackmonβs works speak for themselves
The Dutch proverb βa Jan Steen householdβ originated in the 17th century and is used today to refer to a home in disarray, full of rowdy children and boisterous family gatherings. The paintings of Steen, along with those of other Dutch and Flemish genre painters, helped inspire this body of work. I am the oldest of nine children and now the mother of three. As Steenβs personal narratives of family life depicted nearly 400 yrs. ago, the conflation of art and life is an area I have explored in photographing the everyday life of my family and the lives of my sisters and their families at home. These images are both fictional and auto-biographical, and reflect not only our lives today and as children growing up in a large family, but also move beyond the documentary to explore the fantastic elements of our everyday lives, both imagined and real.
The stress, the chaos, and the need to simultaneously escape and connect are issue that I investigate in this body of work. We live in a culture where we are both βchild centeredβ and βself-obsessed.β The struggle between living in the moment versus escaping to another reality is intense since these two opposites strive to dominate. Caught in the swirl of soccer practices, play dates, work, and trying to find our way in our βmake-overβ culture, we must still create the space to find ourselves. The expectations of family life have never been more at odds with each other. These issues, as well as the relationship between the domestic landscape of the past and present, are issues I have explored in these photographs. I believe there are moments that can be found throughout any given day that bring sanctuary. It is in finding these moments amidst the stress of the everyday that my life as a mother parallels my work as an artist, and where the dynamics of family life throughout time seem remarkably unchanged. As an artist and as a mother, I believe lifeβs most poignant moments come from the ability to fuse fantasy and reality: to see the mythic amidst the chaos.
Winter Metaverse House by AndrΓ©s Reisinger and Alba de la Fuente
After success start of house concepts in Metaverse in 2021 by Krista Kim and its representation as an exhibition pavilion the idea of creating virtual living started evolving. Here is AndrΓ©s Reisinger and Alba de la Fuente designing modernist house in a frosty metaverse landscape. At some point they can easily swap it during the holidays with Kristaβs Mars House
βWinter House is stacked on a large concrete slab to create a "floating floor", underneath which a glass box houses a chunky concrete staircase that leads visitors from the front door into the house.β writes Dezeen
βArgentinian digital artist Reisinger created the house together with Madrid-based architect De la Fuente to reflect the early 1960s projects of industrial designer Dieter Rams, while also exploring winter in the metaverse.β Echoing with functional principles of Le Corbusier βReisinger explained that the house's expansive windows intend to connect the inside and outside spaces, all of which have been rendered with a subtle splash of pink.β

Technogenica 2022 by Guiseppe Lo Schiavo
Technogenica 2022
We evolve technology. Technology evolves us.
Technogenica is a short movie animation where humanoids, technology and uncontaminated nature collaborate in a performative and theatrical act.
Technology and digital media are becoming more and more woven into the fabric of everyday life and we are evolving alongside; and the process is mutualistic.
The title Technogenica comes from βTechnogenesisβ, a thesis by Bernard Stiegler and N. Katherine Hayles clinically defined as a process of βadaptation, the fit between organisms and their environments (humans and technologies) undergoing coordinated transformations.β
Humans have always been interconnected with their environment and co-evolved with it. This process is common in nature, examples are coral and coral reefs, birds and birdβs nests, plants and oxygen. Weβre part of nature, and so is everything we make and use. Likewise, technology is part of nature.
In the last 500 years, technology has always been an essential tool in connecting and shaping the future. To reinforce the dialogue between past and future, the artist has designed a hybrid scenography combining contemporary theatre elements and robotics with ancient ruins inspired by the Unesco site of Palmyra.
The artist created light and photography of the piece by studying the work of visionary painters from the past such as Vermeer, Jan van Eyck, Robert Campin and even Tiziano, Antonello da Messina.
Lo Schiavo created the vocals of the song with a virtual female vocalist modelled on the voice of a real professional soprano singer. This is one of the first examples created with this technology and the computer-generated vocals reinforce the symbiotic human-technology relationship.
For the last scene, the artist has acquired an Intracytoplasmic sperm injection video shot by a camera from a microscope lens (In Vitro Fertilization). IVF is the most effective form of assisted reproductive technology to date.
The original orchestral music was composed by Arnaud Hug, an international award-winning music composer that creates music for films, theatre shows and advertisements. He has worked for Netflix, Nike, Adidas, BMW and many more.
