The work series ‘From Below’ with its utopian view of interior spaces challenges our perception, while showing rooms from below the floor, as if they would merely consist of glass. The mathematically logical concept of perception seems easily comprehensible at first, but then our orientation system looses structure in these self contained, dynamic aesthetics. The objects seem to be weightless and appear to be floating and tumbling through space, while denying gravity. The observation from below nearly seems as a threatening entity, even more if one considers that the observation is understood as an omnipresent, latent self-observation. Michael Rohde

The Ring installation by Lapierre in Place Vendôme in Paris, France plays with the context of this urban space through reflections, light and the interaction of passers-by. It takes into consideration the urban space networking: the rhythm, flow, organization and spatial hierarchy. The installation embodies a visual effect that is to connect all of these interactions through the implementation of an optical effect: the repetition of an cubic mirror. This dynamic installation changes the relationships between individuals and the space they are going through. ‘Ring’ invites the visitor to play with the installation and space. Website

The Height Recorder uses a common experience, featuring a doorframe as a height chart and leaving marks on it to show a child’s height, to record the specific memory. By using a long wooden stick hanging on the wall, the user can stand against the stick and draw a mark on it every year. After some years the stick can be cut into several pieces, according to the marks and reassembled into musical scales on a xylophone. Those scales are ordered by year, each scale represents an age of the user. Therefore, when a mallet slides across the xylophone, the sound pattern narrates the user’s height changing process.

‘The physical form of language is a record of collective memory.
In this monotype typeface, the height of the letterforms is determined
by how often a letter is used. This typeface maps the rhythmic ebb and
flow of English. Each letter sits in a 6 x 6 inch square, allowing for
any combination of letters to run seamlessly both vertically and
horizontally.’ Website

Jägnefält Milton
 |
The architecture office Jägnefält Milton from Norway joined an open international masterplan competition for the city Åndalsnes. Their proposal ‘Rolling Masterplan’ turns the old industry train tracks into a new kind of infrastructure for mobile buildings carrying mobile houses which can be rolled around depending on seasons and situations. They created not only houses, but also a mobile hotel, a rolling public bath, a park or even a rolling concert hall. Fully implemented in the city there would be over one hundred rolling buildings.
