Young people are the innovators and change agents of society,
revealing the future to us by creating it. This <br>
edition of Test_Lab takes a close look at a selection of outstanding
art and design work created by young <br>
artists and designers currently exhibiting in graduation shows
across Europe. Which topics are being addressed <br>
by this new generation of artists and designers? What are their
motives, positions, methodologies and media of <br>
choice? And how are these new professionals planning to shape their
careers as artists and designers in today’s <br>
cultural climate in flux? As it is custom to V2_’s Test_Lab events,
the audience will be invited to examine each <br>
graduation project 'hands-on'. <br>
<br>
Following the live demonstrations and discussions, you are cordially
invited to our Diskohedron party that <br>
celebrates the artists’ and designers’ graduation, as well as the
25th edition in the Test_Lab event series. The <br>
Diskohedron, a laser-cut disco ball by Philipp Lammer, Gordan
Savicic and Selena Savic has 32 individually <br>
controlled light bulbs that respond to sound; in this case that of
V2_’s resident DJ’s.<br>
