ENTER Art Program

 

 BETWIXT – Analogue & Digital Realms

Curated by Diana Velasco

ENTER Art Program explores the evolving role of digital elements in everyday life and art. The program showcases ‘phygital’ works that seamlessly blend physical and digital aspects, creating a bridge between classical and contemporary art forms. The term ‘betwixt’ captures this unique intersection.
The program features performances, an exhibition and talks of international caliber. These activities challenge traditional art perceptions, engaging a wider audience, including those new to the art fair. Visitors will experience everything from hybrid creations and digital installations to immersive AR displays and performances. 

These interdisciplinary works push artistic boundaries, offering visitors new possibilities and experiences. Join us to engage with and debate these innovative art forms in the non-commercial Art Program all free to join. The Art Program is generously supported by the Danish Arts Foundation and Beckett Foundation, Institut français du Danemark, Ambassade de France au Danemark, IGR Instituto Guimaras Rosa, Embassy of Brazil Copenhagen and Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany Copenhagen, Værksted for Fotoografi og SST.

Work: The Future of Something (2023)
Medium: Video

Biography: Jonas Lund (b. 1984, SE) creates paintings, sculpture, photography, websites and performances that critically reflect on contemporary networked systems and power structures. His artistic practice involves creating systems and setting up parameters that often require engagement from the viewer. This results in performative artworks where tasks are executed according to algorithms or a set of rules. Through his works, Lund investigates the latest issues generated by the increasing digitalisation of contemporary society like authorship, participation and distribution of agency. At the same time, he questions the mechanisms of the art world; he challenges the production process, authoritative power and art market practices. His work has been acquired by Centre Pompidou, shown at Schinkel Pavillon, ZKM, Vienna Biennale Francisco Carolinum amongst many other places.

Artistic direction, choreographer & digital artist: Natacha Paquignon
Artistic direction, developer & digital artist: Maxime Touroute
Dancers: Natacha Paquignon & Kynsie Serre & AR dancers 

Location: France
Work: The Invisble Party (Performance)
Medium: Dance, Augmented Reality (AR), Music

Biography:

Natacha Paquignon (b. 1974, FR) trained as a dancer and is the choreographer of Compagnie Corps Au Bord. Her first training, in music, nourishes her approach to dance, which gives particular importance to the musicality of movement and the rhythm of the artistic experience. She practices the internal martial arts, qi gong and taiji, which are at the heart of her approach to choreography. She is interested in the relationship between the human body and its environment. In an environment filled with tools and technologies, she develops a choreographic and digital research that questions the way in which these technologies modify our relationship with the world and our interpersonal relations. She combines the relationship between body, landscape and technology in choreographic creations using augmented reality. In 2024, she co-founded the Qi Dance Company with Maître Ke Wen, becoming its co-artistic director and choreographer.

Maxime Touroute (b. 1994, FR) creates digital art experiences and develops software for artists and cultural institutions. He produces and distributes projects that combine images, technology and interactivity, such as Live Drawing, a massively participative video projection where hundreds of participants draw live on the facades, or Painting Mirror – a mapping where the public is caricatured in real time by Artificial Intelligences. Over the years, he has worked with artistic teams and cultural institutions as an IT engineer, unlocking new creative potential for projects requiring a high degree of technical innovation. Maxime makes the software tools he develops available to the entire creative community to encourage sharing, reduce the technical costs of projects and increase the time devoted to creative innovation. His artistic and entrepreneurial approach has been rewarded by numerous international exhibitions and workshops, as well as by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research, which awarded him two ‘Pépite’ prizes in 2020 and 2022.

Kynsie Serre (b. 1987, FR) is a multidisciplinary artist connecting the dots between the transformative power of the arts of movements, photography and video. Starting practicing at the age of 6 in a Maloya Collective (Traditional dance and music group from Reunion Island) meanwhile she attended Modern Dance School for 11 years, she then performed as an independent in different dance projects and street arts companies. During these fundamental years, meetings and travels came to nourish her practice of contemporary dance enriched with, among other things byThe Gaga (Batsheva / Ohad Naharin) or The Humanhood methods. In 2015, her inner research and interest in meditation led her to join the Dharma Techno collective. The experiences within this project combined with her own experimentation have consolidated her intuitive approach to dance as a vibrant impulse inherent in life and drove her to create a collective space Wave Arising which she co-founded in 2021 with the avant-garde musician Sebastian Vaughan.

Odalie (b. 1990, FR) creates complex arrangements with a wide range of instrumentation. Odalie crafts mosaics of sound that range from uplifting to melancholy, touching on a world of emotion in between. delicate drum patterns spiral beneath experimental strings, vast pads, and virtuosic vocals, as she explores the contradictions of modern living, both personal and societal. Between electronica, modern classical and ambient music, her tracks are a poetic invitation to meditate or to a merry solitude. Her debut album, Puissante Vulnérabilité released on Max Cooper’s Mesh imprint, is full of contrasts and raw emotions, interspersed with moments of quietude and a heavy dose of experimentation. She encourages us to show our flaws, for it is through them that we weave our relationships with others and with Nature. She is accompanied on stage and in the studio by the cellist Paolo Rezze.
