Featured Artists and Works
MDMS Featuring Erica by Prof. Hiroshi Ishiguro

Experience Erica, an almost human-like robot created by Japanese scientist Prof. Hiroshi Ishiguro.

Jürg Casserini: Found Objects, Abstract Narratives

Swiss artist Jürg Casserini, a retired diplomat, transforms found objects from the Philippine Sea into compelling abstract works. His art challenges idyllic visions of tropical landscapes, reflecting the socio-political complexities of food supply in developing nations.

Mark Divo: The Hypocrisy of Late Capitalism

In Banned on Facebook, Mark Divo critiques societal hypocrisy, merging sensuality with sharp political commentary. Drawing inspiration from Titian’s Venus of Urbino, the work explores exploitation, commercialisation, and the roles imposed on women in modern society.

Martine-Nicole Rojina: TransMission 50 & Sensing Selene

Astrophysics meets art in Martine-Nicole Rojina’s works. TransMission 50, a sound sculpture, honours the Moon landing’s 50th anniversary by transmitting historical radio messages back to the Moon and Earth. Sensing Selene, a collaboration with Ugo Dossi and Martin Rosenthal, uses soundscapes and visuals to explore cosmic connections.

Marck: Women in Confinement

Video installations by Marck symbolise societal constraints imposed on women. His confined spaces represent the limitations of inter-gender dynamics and inspire audiences to question these constructs and explore possibilities for freedom.

Grunz-Gemperle: Adventure Stories and Cultural Myths

Inspired by King Kong, Grunz-Gemperle blends humour with poignant social critique, examining masculinity, altruism, and zeitgeist. Their works pose thought-provoking questions about the myths humanity continues to value.

Mideo Cruz: Neo-Deities and the Dynamics of Belief
