Fernando Belfiore – THE CAVE

by Thomas Lenden· januari 25, 2018· in · 0 comments

In the past years Fernando Belfiore has been blurring the borders of theater, choreography and visual arts. Challenging modern logic thinking and social-political constructions he has touched metaphysical levels. The performer’s presence and potentialities of the body affects are a strong characteristic of his work, using movement to alter mental states and normality. His works are intense, designed, humorous, visual and radical often arriving at places of softness, vulnerability, and delicate transformation. For this new work, Belfiore is playing himself with projections. Projections are the presentation of an image on a surface, especially a cinema screen. Belfiore creates installations and plays psychedelic atmospheres, projecting colors, high-quality paradisiac images, live recording, images for green screen and animations. But projections are also an estimate or forecast of a future situation based on a study of present trends.

Fernando Belfiore – D3US/X\M4CHIN4

by Thomas Lenden· juni 02, 2017· in · 0 comments

‘Deus ex machina’ is most commonly used to refer to an unexpected power that intervenes and saves a seemingly hopeless situation. Choreographer and performance artist Fernando Belfiore (Brazil) uses this notion to explore a poetic that can induce an experience of unimaginable changes. In D3US/x\M4CHIN4 notions of vulnerability and movement as energy will extend, the limits of theatricality are stretched and plastic faces will melt. Different sources of sounds form a chorus and a supernatural battle becomes a choreography that balances between the epic, science fiction and ritual.

TechnologyLab_ – Breitner Academie

by Thomas Lenden· mei 24, 2017· in · 0 comments

Het TechnologyLab_ is een interdisciplinair onderwijsconcept waarin kunst, technologie en wetenschap geïntegreerd aan bod komen. De raakvlakken tussen wetenschap en kunst zijn in de praktijk vaak groter dan je op grond van de reguliere schoolvakken zou denken; ze zijn beide vanuit nieuwsgierigheid ontstaan. In de 21ste eeuw leidt deze nieuwsgierigheid tot samenwerken: kunst kan ook gemaakt worden in laboratoria en onderzoek kan plaatsvinden in ateliers. Tijdens TechnologyLab_ leren de studenten het ontwerpen, ontwikkelen en implementeren van onderwijsmateriaal in de context van kunst, technologie en wetenschap. Zij verdiepen zich in op actuele wetenschap en technologie georiënteerde kunst waarmee een basis ontstaat om duurzame samenwerkingen met bèta- en techniekvakken in het onderwijs aan te kunnen gaan.
