Join us at Waag Open on December 7th in Amsterdam for an insightful evening exploring the language of materials in our environment. This event will showcase two captivating art installations that delve into our relationship with the materials around us. Myles Merckel will present his thought-provoking installation, Magnetic_Zoology (2023), while Alicja Konkol will showcase her captivating video-essay, From Ore to More (2023). Both artists have recently won the prestigious KABK Waag Award 2023. Can materials truly speak? Merckel's work features the chirping of birds alongside the mechanical chirping of "bird-like" hard drives. By creating his own database of bird audio files labeled as "poor quality," Merckel highlights the resemblance between the chirping of birds and the squeaking sound of a malfunctioning hard drive. Through Magnetic_Zoology, he emphasizes how nature is often mediated by technology, a fact we often overlook. Konkol approaches the idea of speaking materials from a different perspective. By repeatedly melting and melding together archaeological artifacts from digital archives, she explores the breakdown and rearrangement of forms, along with the memories and entropies associated with them. In her project, silver emerges as a material that speaks not only when molded into a shape but also during the process of transmutation and transformation. The evening will include an artist talk by Myles Merckel, a video essay by Alicja Konkol, and a moderated discussion and Q&A session. Don't miss this opportunity to engage in stimulating conversations and discover new perspectives. Waag Open takes place at the historic Waaggebouw on the Nieuwmarkt. Tickets are available for €7.50.

生长在海边的果果

Traveling to the Netherlands with her niece, she loves art, like Van Gogh, so accompanied her in the museum to carefully look at each painting, really can not see where good, but I am very humbly, basically the main explanation of the paintings are photographed. Because the number of pictures above is limited to 15 pictures, the friends who have not been can take a good look.
