Bangkok-based artist Tanasan Kanakasem explores the idea that girls might bottle up pain, rage and other wild feelings underneath pretty faces. In his recent series Girl Without Smile he sums up that ideas using colour, objects and wild animals to symbolise the needs and wild desires they may be keeping hidden inside his characters.

In her most recent work, Objects of Desire, van Dijk investigated the increasingly intimate relationship between humans and technology that may eventually lead to blurring of boundaries between the two.
To illustrate the concept, the designer, invented a three-step method.
In step one, the first dataset was curated containing both realistic (representing human genitals) and abstract sex toys. These toys are objects we by nature have a very close physical relationship with and could also be seen as an example of (sexual) objectification.
In step two, a pre-trained machine learning (ML) model was used to generate a collection of 1,000 new, non-existing shapes based on the initial dataset.
In step three, the generated images were curated and translated back into a three- dimensional physical reality. This resulted in a series of undefined, anthropomorphic, human-like sculptures.
The Objects of Desire design project encourages us to critically evaluate the fundamental questions and ethical implications related to the rapidly evolving relationship between humans and technology. It ‘confronts the viewer with a speculative scenario and leaves them to decide whether they perceive the outcome as human, non-human or something that exists in between.’ (van Dijk, 2021)

Carpoolers is an acclaimed documentary photo series and self-published project from Mexican photographer Alejandro Cartagena started in 2011. Concerned with the neoliberal policymaking in the city of Monterrey and rapid housing expansions on the outskirts of the city, Cartagena critically documents the fissures between blue-collar urban centres and the lack of infrastructure connecting the suburban overgrowth.

“The collection of The 50 Carpoolers depicts laborers in M'exico captured from an overpass, commuting between distant suburbs and urban centers. Like much of my work, this project comes from a desire to tell the story of the dramatic environmental, economic, and demographic changes playing out in my home city of Monterrey. This series has circulated the internet since 2011 and has been exhibited widely around the world”

The Word Search Series by artist Graham Kelman investigates concepts of contradiction and loss of meaning through the use of a single sculpture made from many individual sculptures. Each viewer is invited to excavate the hidden poem(s).
The artwork is designed to evolve into new works, where each glyph module moves on a system of hidden rails. New poems are composed on a regular basis.

“n 2017, I had the idea to create a modular artwork composed of smaller sculptures that could be rearranged to create new pieces. Working with @jennyholzerstudio influenced me to do something a little more direct, thinking about the alphabet as a kit of parts. I’ve been interested in the intersection of Graphic Design and Architecture, and this project was a good opportunity to explore that.
Little did I know that it would take me almost four years to complete the series. This is the first work I completed this year.
Something else was happening during this time. It seemed like words in culture were increasingly losing their power to convey a common meaning. Two different people could read the same thing and draw wildly different conclusions, almost predictably, based on their pre-affiliated tribe.
Perhaps, I could create a series of word-search puzzles that could celebrate misinterpretation, contradiction, and loss of meaning, where everybody could draw their own conclusion and choose something they could be upset about, together. I wanted it to appear beautiful and almost decorative at first, and really force people to dig out the little depressing poems inside.
Unfortunately, I didn’t really think too deeply about what it would take to conceive,
If Viktor Vasnetsov ever joined pre-raphaelites, the art of Anthony Ventura can be their logic heritage. “A trip into the world of Anthony Ventura is a memorable one, bringing you through pop culture, horror and earth grounded fantasy turned Greek tragedy.”

“Alexandre Sou^etre is a photographer and art director currently living in Los Angeles. Born and raised in Paris, France. Alex has a minimalist approach to design and an immaculate eye for tone, often playing with scale to suspend lone figures in mid air or to encase them against a clean, concrete background.”
“Alex’s work is at it’s finest when depicting anonymous silhouettes skating alone against remote urban backdrops. The graphic lines, sweeping shadows and graffiti elements that he chooses to include in his images help to create an atmosphere and an energy that both excites and intrigues. It is because of this that you don’t need to be a fanatical skate fan to appreciate his images”
