Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Plastic Time

"Plastic is here to stay, for a long while beyond our lifetime. Occupying the earth it accumulates, sediments and erodes within a million years, but never disappears (...) plastic becomes a future rock, a gift from us to the people of a million years forward."
Christina Battikha
"I am looking at six different temporalities in which this particular site has been transformed both by geological, and human forces. (...) Similar to a palimpsest: construction needs destruction, one implies the other."

MICROCHEAP: The Toxic Legacies of Intel’s Semiconductor Production

"The chip manufacturing process in Silicon Valley demonstrates how an industry that advances the rapid time of digital information communication, also regards the time of workers and earth as a quantifiable resource that is open to manipulation, management, and control; while subject to commodification, use, and abuse."
Simina Marin
"The project explores the idea of healing as causing different states of matter within bodies – both organic and inorganic; human and planetary – across an entanglement of temporalities. (...) An object that is every bit as mythic as it is medical, as sacred as it is historical, as momentary as it is timeless."
Lara Avram

Language as Prosthesis: an Anthropology of the Future

"Could the race of the homo sapiens diverge into a multitude of species? Could language evolve beyond the spoken and the written we experience today? Could the human race develop a new collection of prosthetics for their bodies to adapt to?"
Tatiana Estrina
"Mekong’s ghosts are the entangled events of water-based rituals, cyclical patterns of the rise and fall of the river, and fishing practices, all of which are dependent on and influence one another."

The Stair

"Beyond just depicting these stories in a linear fashion, through a split screen, the experiment in the animation occurs with the collaging of different layers of splitting, stories across time bleeding and complicating, enchanting, suggesting a cyclical and synchronous gaze into the depths of time. After all they are a couple of steps."
Ekin Bilal
"Sensation has thus been reframed as a critical inhabitation of the present: “present” here refers not to a singular temporal moment but rather to possibly boundless duration generated by the subject; “inhabiting” situates the subject within a deep temporal environment—a palimpsest."
