Hi-Fructose Magazine In his portrait series, the Austrian artist Aldo Tolino deconstructs, folds, reassembles and weaves printed photographs in order to create origami-like sculptural pieces. Tolino then re-photographs the works, converting the pieces back into two-dimensional objects. The disturbing quality of the images may not just be due to the fact that the folded faces appear distorted, disproportional and almost entirely stripped of identity. In their conversion back to a photographic object, these pieces also suggest a cycle of infinite reprocessing and deformation, wherein the portrait will only continue to move further away from the original “true” image. Aakash Nihalani approaches space almost like a cartoonist. For Swoon’s latest site-specific installation ”Submerged Motherlands,” the artist brings together familiar faces of all shapes and sizes in to the open space rotunda of the Brooklyn Museum. © 2014 Aya Takano Kaikai Kiki Co., Ltd.

Sci-Fi-O-Rama HUH. Magazine & the feeling must go. Coilhouse “Alternative subcultures. They were a crucial aspect of industrial civilization in the two previous centuries. They were where industrial civilization went to dream. A sort of unconscious R&D, exploring alternative social strategies … but they became extinct.” “Extinct?” COILHOUSE is a love letter to alternative culture, written in an era when alternative culture no longer exists. Here, you will find an assemblage of the visual, cerebral, amusing, challenging and, above all, the ever-evolving. * cryptohistory and misanthropology * abandoned structures + sprawling metropolises * pre-apocalypse pleasure islands * Genghis Khan’s bow and Hiro Protagonist’s sword * otherworldly beauties with faces painted bright * unreasonable footwear * complicated hair * technological body enhancement * incredibly strange music * flagrant futurism * whalebone, absinthe, silk * patricide girls * body scaffolding * dressing for war The above is just a taste.
