Pierre Coric’s body of work is a weaving of different technical and technological practices. Navigation, computer programming and the making of textile objects are the components of ephemeral installations and performances which, by revealing an offbeat kind of normal, make us rethink our perceptions of the world.

As We Continue is a passively interactive installation. A machine coldly performing what it has been programmed for knowing and remembering through time human presence or abscence according to its computer brain.
Concretely, it is a really simple device. The piece is made out of two mechanical time counters mounted on top of each other, one of which is running as soon as the machine detects one’s presence while the other is triggered by the absence of the observer.
As We Continue is a waiting piece, a running step among the exploration of technology and time.
As we continue shaping them, as they continue changing us.

As We Continue

Le Pavillon

The work of Lawrence Malstaf (1972, Bruges, Belgium) is situated on the borderline between the visual and the theatrical. He develops installation and performance art with a strong focus on movement, coincidence, order and chaos, and immersive sensorial rooms for individual visitors. He also creates larger mobile environments dealing with space and orientation, often using the visitor as a co-actor. His projects involve physics and technology as a point of departure or inspiration and as a means for activating installations.
Lawrence Malstaf has received several international awards in the field of art and new technology. He is also well known as an innovative scenographer in the dance and theatre world.
He currently lives and works in Tromsø (Norway) &amp; Oudenaarde (Belgium) and exhibits internationally.

Styrofoam particles are blown around in a big transparent PVC cylinder by 5 strong fans. Visitors can take place one by one on the armchair in the middle of the whirlpool or observe from the outside.
On the chair, in the eye of the storm it is calm and safe.
Spectacular at first sight, this installation turns out to mesmerise as a kind of meditation machine. One can follow the seemingly cyclic patterns, focus on the different layers of 3D pixels or listen to its waterfall sound. One could call it a training device, challenging the visitor to stay centred and find peace in a fast changing environment.
After a while the space seems to expand and one&#8217;s sense of time deludes.

Belgian artist, Eva L&#8217;Hoest (b. 1991) has been creating a delicate dystopian universe for several years. Between fictional and real ruins, the moving images of her films and installations explore the meanders of memory &#8211; human and non-human &#8211; reminiscent of larger economic and environmental issues.
For the realization of her fictional landscapes inspired by natural or domestic contexts, she mingles different technical image processes with research on subjects as vast and precise as the study of vanities, systems of measurement or ancestral beliefs.
Along the slow tracking shots of her films, water, nature, bodies, and architectural motifs often merge into a whole that decompartmentalizes the scales and makes the viewer fall into the heart of a fragmented matter in resonance with the complexity of the living. The plasticity of the images sewn from metadata and from technological and scientific vocabularies also defies the power of the algorithms from which she draws inspiration and which she dissects.
In the interstices of indeterminate, fragile and shimmering spaces, the artist questions transparency, the transfer of data and surveillance systems. Eva L&#8217;Hoest never gives up on reality, as evidenced by her practice of 3D sculpture and virtual reality that sometimes complements her films and installations. Her approach to the photographic image, whether sculptural, digital or conceptual, reveals and deconstructs ecosystems that alert us to our relationship to space and the digital era. Poetically, she explores the state of the world, our capacity to inhabit time and the power of contemplation.
