Location: Transmediale Festival Serf Club is an infinite film constructed from global live streams. A drama playing out in real life and in real time. The algorithmic director, influenced by intuitive, geographical, relational factors, modulates an audio-visual signal to make meaning appear and disappear. Shot reverse shot.

Ryan Mosley (b.1980, Chesterfield, UK), lives in Sheffield British artist Ryan Mosley paints freely and unabashedly from his imagination. His brushstrokes are expressive and gestural, giving the feeling that the fantastical characters that parade across his paintings have simply stepped out of their own psychedelic world and onto the canvas.

Marek Wieczorek: Mondrian’s Calling Already during the 1920s, Piet Mondrian’s Paris studio took on mythical proportions as a visionary structure that developed out of his pioneering neo-plastic paintings. Surprisingly, commentators have never attempted to define the precise relationships that exist between these paintings and the studio walls with their dynamically placed colored pasteboards.

His ongoing exploration of the emotive power of appropriated video is a meditation on bodily and psychic sensations. Solo shows of James Richards took place […]
Sarah Pichlkostner (b.1988, Salzburg, Austria), lives in London Former Ateliers-participant Sarah Pichlkostner creates sculptural objects and spatial settings, in which she investigates the representation of invisible processes such as the transmitting of energy, the passing of time and our psychological behaviour towards materials.

Navid Nuur (b.1976, Tehran, Iran), lives in The Hague The way in which Navid Nuur relates to material, the space around him and his observations therein, can almost be regarded as devout. In Nuur’s sculptures and paintings, a very personal visual problem becomes the central question. Here, form is not necessarily the result of the idea, […]

In his paintings, drawings, prints and books, he explores images as they are shaped by the process of their own making. Walsh participated in […]
