O coletivo japonês chamado teamLab apresentou sua bela e serena instalação artística chamada “Jardim de Flores Flutuantes”, na Maison et Objet, em Paris. A instalação conta com 2.300 orquídeas importadas da Holanda presas de ponta cabeça em suportes móveis com sensores de movimento, e quando o visitante chega próximo ao espaço repleto de flores,  elas sobem de uma só vez, criando um espaço em volta dele.(本文抜粋)

The amazing flutter of butterflies

Tracey Logan visits the Saatchi gallery in London to see if technology is bringing about a renaissance in art. She asks if installations depicting the flutter of butterflies and the blooming of flowers – all digital of course – are having the same impact on art as the invention of oil paint did for the Renaissance?(Image caption: Flutter of Butterflies Beyond Borders – courtesy teamLab and START Image © Alexa Horan)

20 BEST IN SHOW AT MAISON&OBJET FALL 2015

20 BEST IN SHOW AT MAISON&OBJET FALL 2015The biannual Maison&Objet Paris edition has just closed its doors on another successful exhibition. The show had eight halls packed with product and elaborate stands showcasing the new and the best of European and international homewares, furniture, accessories, textiles and lighting.To be a trendsetter you also have to be a talent scout and once again Maison&Objet offered a platform for new and emerging talent. Two standout designers in this showcase were Gilles Neveu and design duo Laura Lynn Jansen and Thomas Vailly, all inspired by nature but utilizing technology to create optical effects. Other notable highlights included the Floating Flower Garden Space by Japanese techno-artists TeamLab. This was an extraordinary sensory experience of 2300 suspended flowers with their roots anchored overhead creating a botanical fairyland of rising and falling blooms.While the Maison&Objet Observatoire de la Maison showcased a “Precious” theme, exhibitors seemed to keep to simpler forms and less extravagant details. Metal and wood were still dominant materials used in simplified forms although there is growing use of leather for details such as straps, pulls and hooks. The showcase was also awash with shades of blue, from light to dark, bold green and pinks. After the big bang celebrations of the show’s 20th Anniversary in January, the September showing seemed an altogether quieter affair. The larger high-end furnishing companies were fewer on the ground with many more accessory, tabletop and home décor collections being represented across the halls. Still, the Scandinavian design houses were out in full force, showcasing many new to market products. French designers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec have created the Pallissade range of outdoor seating for Danish brand Hay with slatted seats in powdercoated steel; its spare form will be available from early 2016. The Palette table by Jaime Hayon for &tradition was a wonderfully considered collaboration and created quite a buzz with its application of metal, marble and wood in differing sizes and shapes. The design duo Space Cophenhagen designed their first table collection for Gubi, the Moon collection in oak includes both coffee table and generous dining table options. Danish design company by Lassen reissued its Flemming Lassen-designed easy chair, The Tired Man, in new colorways (the chair was originally designed for The Copenhagen Cabinetmakers’ Guild Competition in 1935).Of the established accessories brands Danish Ferm Living showed clean modernist lines and subtle textural finishes. Meanwhile, the 175-year-old Kähler Design has collaborated with illustrator and product designer Anders Arhøj to launch a range of beautiful sculptural ceramics with a dense colorful glaze. Moving beyond Scandinavia, French manufacturer Harto showed their new Anatole side table and Eugénie coffee table, both made with oak and tubular metal in four color options. Belgian company BuzziSpace introduced its collaboration with textile giant Kvadrat. The popular BuzziNordic sofa has been updated with brightly coloured Kvadrat upholstery. They also debuted their outdoor office concept BuzziShed at the show.

To build a collective memory of world’s creativity, we document temporary acts and spaces, where art, fashion and innovation come together. Where? Maison et Objet, Paris.What? Transported from Tokyo, the flower garden is a project by Japanese studio Teamlab. Bunches of orchids fill the space, as serene music and beautiful aromas wake our senses. The installation is designed to impact human emotions and impressions via space, which in this case is a collection of simple pleasures that fuse to elicit good feelings and reunite visitors with nature.

Drawing outside the lines

TeamLAB brings immersive installation to SaatchiJapanese art collective Chim↑Pom, online platform This is Tomorrow and digital installation group TeamLAB recently got together to curate spaces in the START art fair held at the Saatchi gallery (without a single YBA in sight). The fair focussed on bringing niche and independent international galleries to the UK’s attention, and featured Japanese art collective TeamLAB’s UK debut, with interactive digital installation A Flutter of Butterflies Beyond Borders taking up a room of the gallery – a digital artwork that transformed the space into moving clouds of animated butterflies generated in real-time.The work was created by a team of technologists, including animators, architects and engineers, and shows flowers and butterflies that move across the walls outside of the confines of the frames.The art world is leaning towards the use of technology to new and innovative interactions. Take a look at Tate Sensorium, an opportunity to taste some priceless paintings, and Space Explorer, a public art takeover transforming Hackney.
