MRK’s amazing animation explores “the digital nature of organic molecules and biological organisms” as virtual insects are injected into a closed environment where they must fight against creations on an ever increasing scale.

The simple ideas are often the best. Renaud Hallée drops objects to a rhythm, that’s it, and it’s just so captivating.

Everyware’s amazing Cloud Pink creation lets you get your hands on what’s above you, the sky. Prodding the giant fabric screen, Everyware visualise wafting your hands in the clouds. They’re pink, but that just makes it all better.

Taking Bill Brown’s amazing camera illustrations, animator Antonio Vicentini has crafted a wonderful ode to your favourite pre-Instgrammers. The wonderful msuic is by Ben Hantoot, who has a great website himself too.

Inviting little players too whip up their own jelly shape, then with the help of some complicated electronics behind the scenes, play them on a special music board, Raphaël Pluvinage and Marianne Cauvard’s creation is a delight. Both students at L’Ensci Les Ateliers in Paris, touching the jelly shapes activates a number of different sounds, respective of distance from the game board and strength of the finger. Eating your creation at the end is optional.

When creative individuals find themselves faced with the challenges of collaborating on fresh projects; one would assume an outside-the-box approach may be a prerequisite. However Andrew Gannon and Nadia Rossi have quite literally found themselves inside-the-box(es) throughout their 8-hour performance exchange; as part of the GI Festival in Glasgow.

Throughout the course of their enduring performance the artists – who are completely hidden inside cardboard boxes (except their legs) – move around the space at Wasps Studios; inadvertently inviting visitors to interact with them. Despite the nature of the event, their work embodies a welcoming unpretentiousness. Although the boxes present a physical barrier between the artists and visitors; somewhat ironically the lack of face-to-face contact actually lifts a social barrier; empowering visitors to phlegmatically embrace in communication with the artists. For the attendees hiding in their own metaphoric social-boxes, they are invited to communicate with the artists via the trending Twitter topic: “#inboxes“.

Potentially my favourite piece at the GI Festival thus far, Gannon and Rossi encapsulate the perfect balance of ingenuousness and inadvertent community-encompassing art; a yearned for needle in an otherwise elitist haystack.
