Lopatin's music has spanned genres and mediums, with the composer filling various roles, but its through line is its sense of the uncanny and Lopatin's understanding of how warping sonic textures can tap into surreality.
The Melo Bar keeps things minimal and compact, yet underneath that restrained form is a fairly considered acoustic setup. It features dual 52mm drivers paired with a symmetrical bass reflex structure, tuned to deliver a balanced spread across frequencies.
The project explores perception through the five senses, focusing on the moment before interpretation, where sensation precedes cognition and experience is formed through subtle emotional and sensory cues.
NUMA introduces a visual layer that operates independently of the existing structure, allowing it to be implemented across different elevator types without structural intervention.
The dream is the confusion machine I didn't have to build, a space where perception slips beyond authorship. Within Communal Dreams, influence operates as a subtle signal rather than a directive force.
The entire indoor journey, from entry to elevator to the 100th floor, has been reimagined as a multi-sensory, immersive environment. The overhaul comes via a collaboration between experiential design firm Journey, multimedia studio Moment Factory and NYC-based design outfit SOFTlab.
In 1962, the architect Buckminster Fuller envisioned a floating city that would free humanity from its dependence on the Earth. The speculative project consisted of enormous geodesic spheres that would naturally levitate in air warmed by the sun and be anchored to mountaintops.
Lachlan Turczan's practice sits in the space between physics, optics, and environmental art, as he works with lasers, water, mist, and custom-built lenses to produce sculptures made entirely from light.
The electronic musical composition draws on field recordings of local wildlife and environmental phenomena, sourced from archival materials along with new recordings made specifically for the installation. By transporting the sounds of the lake's ecosystem into an urban park setting, Eliasson foregrounds the fragile interdependence between human and more-than-human life, rendering audible what is increasingly at risk of vanishing.
A circular concrete ring forms a defined boundary, incorporating a landing and three steps that lead into a contained field of refined sand. At the center of this ring rises a tall cone clad in polished mirrored steel. The composition establishes a clear geometric contrast between the horizontal plane of sand and the vertical reflective surface.
Radioposter has built what it calls Paper-fi: physical books with synchronized audio soundtracks that follow readers in real time as they turn each page. No chips embedded in the paper, no QR codes to scan. The system uses patented computer vision and other modes through a smartphone or smart glasses to track your place in the book and play the corresponding audio.
