Geology of Shoes from Petr Krejčí on Vimeo

The project takes inspiration from sediment layers and effects of erosive processes in nature as well as from traditional shoe-making techniques. A special construction method has been developed and used across the collection. Multiple layers of scrap leather pieces are added on and subsequently sanded down to achieve the final shape and unique colour pattern of the shoe. The colour scheme is influenced by old geological maps.

Full Turn ECAL/Benjamin Muzzin from ECAL on Vimeo

Muzzin’s work in Full Turn mainly consisted in exploring and experimenting a different device for displaying images, trying to give animations volume in space. The resulting machine works with the rotation of two screens placed back to back, creating a three-dimensional animated sequence that can be seen at 360 degrees. Due to the persistence of vision, the shapes that appear on the screen turn into kinetic light sculptures.

SYN-Phon (Graphic notation) from candas sisman on Vimeo

Coming about to understand the human nature of comprehending linguistics is that of a complex take–on. The constituent elements of language, in general content, bring forward the theory of other minds sharing, with intentioned communication. Thought varies with the use and absence of language that comes to be found in line with the development of thinking and impulses from our daily surrounding. Eventually language creates our point of view just as much as our ideas and perception of matters, individualistically.

Art plays a crucial role in demolishing the boarders of our comprehension our mindset is framed into by literate language. Human language serves as a rather conservative form of communication when comparison to musical language; where the freedom of space employs as a resort for that broad horizon of that, that in search of cutting-edge form of broadcast.

Candas’s trials of combing various forms don’t necessarily imply the mere creation of a pioneering flash but rather the use of the endless possibilities in associating the known and unknown. Through the unknown, we come about with a new way of thinking that tries to substitute and make space for a new tool of self-expression. Conclusively the graphical notation gives liberate opportunity in creating one’s personal language that holds its basis on feeling the visual and sound in parallel.

Phonation, in accordance to Candas is the presence of sound language in SYN-Phon where the structure is supported by the synthesis itself. Music in its myriad forms extends to exploiting a communicative human language, thereby making the conceptual idea much more of significant importance than the actual tool. For Candas the presence of music in positively charged negatives spaces is a key element for substitution of the unknown seeking to be expressed. By the happening of SYN-Phon the line of musician will be crossed into a rather freely inflicted composer. Lőrinc and Mátyás as the musical inputs , on trumpet and cello respectively, of the performance will attain free expression rightfully to the impulses in line of creating a new language.

SYN-Phon sound performance will demonstrate an articulation based on Candas’s intimate collective findings of Budapest during the month of June. Buda and Pest in the separate geographical allocation hold different quintessence natures, in addition to the anecdote of recent flooding events of Duna the performance is meant to reach out to the audience as a sensual expressive language. The sound performance will include sounds, constructed and picked up in Budapest recorded by Candas himself. The whole bulk graphical notation will be available in print form to be part of the introductory assimilation.
