ScanLAB Projects
Equirectangular Landscape 03, 2018ScanLAB's primary medium is 3D scanning, a form of machine vision that they argue is the future of photography and spatial representation. In the 1870's Eadweard Muybridge took to Yosemite to test his pioneering photographic techniques. ScanLAB Projects re-enacted these expeditions through Post-lenticular Landscapes, equipped with the very latest technology. Millions of precisely measure points as if hovering together in space to form a ghostly apparition of mountains, forest, cliff face and tumultuous waterfalls of the Yosemite Valley. This immense amount of detail often allows for surprising discoveries and points of view, which are almost impossible to achieve with a traditional camera or phone. ⠀

Lisa Egio and Elliot Kervyn
Volcano Moon (Legend Bball Small), 2020Lisa Egio & Elliot Kervyn won the Young Ceramic Prize in 2019 which culminated in a yea-long residency at the Keramis Museum in Belgium. The project takes on the shape of a fragmented production line and was developed in relation to the site's history and in close conversation with the museum employees that once worked in the factory. All ceramic elements are cast from mass produced plastic objects, employing techniques of serial production widely used within the ceramic industry. Balls refer to planets or cells and the six headed vase plays 272 hz music to harmonize your base chakra (connection to the earth). Each piece is made unique by its glazing, thus confronting industry and craft and inviting the viewer on a meditative journey.

Francesco Jodice
Mont Blanc. Just Things, #010, 2014'Just Things' series is based on five true stories that all took place on Mont Blanc: airplane crashes that left artifacts of various kinds buried under the snows of this mountain between France and Italy: clothing, letters, animals, treasures, and, of course, people. The subject of Francesco Jodice's investigation, explored through a book and eleven large-scale prints, is the progressive distance that separates the moment of loss from the moment of rediscovery, during which a true process of digestion and transformation takes place. The bodies and things that were originally lost come imbued with new meaning and significance.

Giovanni Ozzola
Wall #17, 2018In the latest series of works by Ozzola turns towards the painterly, translating the vision of graffiti-painted walls (an image often shown in the artist's Bunker photos) through a process that seems derived from photography. It recalls the ancient strappo d'affresco technique, where a silicon sheet creeps into the gaps of graffiti and creates a positive image of their pattern.These works provide an impression of another time, overlapping, incalculable and written in the history of graffiti.

Saad Qureshi
Scorched Lines - S5, 2016The 'mindscapes' evoked in Qureshi's drawings are sourced from fragments of real places, snatched images of somewhere that is or has been. They invite their viewers to inhabit and absorb them into their mind's eye, and in doing so to inform and transform them yet again. They explore the impressions of landscapes burnt into the memory, echoing the retinal imprint that registers the instant you shut your eyelids, fixing this photographic residue into a scorched outline on paper. Evocations rather than depictions, they are meditations on the cadences of landscape, and how their rhythms unfold in the mind.

Aziz + Cucher
Scenapse Field 5, 2007In the series 'Synaptic Bliss' and 'Scenapse' produced between 20032008, artist duo Aziz + Cucher address the seemingly classical landscape through a confluence of still-images and videos, which when superimposed, create an intensively coloured flurry. The works in this series continue the conversation between the painterly and the photographic present in the artist's practice since 1995 and appear similar to a form of electronic impressionism that spills into cells or pixels on a metallic surface.
