According to Klingler, when producing a piece for commissioned work, the customer is very much involved in this process, choosing the colors that grow and the bacteria swabbed. “The possibilities are as individual as each one of us,” he writes on his website, noting that you can swab anything from the location of a first date, a personal souvenir from a memorable journey, or the remainder of loved one far away.

After a growth period of 24 to 48 hours, the microorganisms are fully sealed within resin to stop the growth and to preserve them for eternity. An LED light source incorporated into a custom silicone plug highlights the visual quality of the growth pattern and colors from above or below.

“We all consist of 10 times more bacteria than human cells,” reads his website. “Every living being and place has its own unique and personal microbiological fingerprint. In a crossover between science, art, and industrial design, the bacteria lamp uses this fact to create stand out conversational pieces.”

With our lives dictated these days by the spread of viruses and bacteria, Klingler’s lamps take on a whole other meaning. Take a look for yourself:

Using organic designs that remind of the shapes and forms found in nature, his sculptural lightings seem like an extension – or response – to our natural surroundings. “I pride myself on having a keen eye for choosing the perfect materials,” writes Godard on his website, “those with beautiful natural curves and unique grain to the wood, which make my pieces unique and which define my work as that of a naturalist.”

“While others may develop one style and reproduce countless versions of it, for me, the creative process is a journey that takes you to places limited only by your imagination,” he adds. As such, his work isn’t confined to one specific style or theme.

Originally from France, Godard moved to the United States in 1989 and now resides in Connecticut. With his cozy studio situated at the edge of nature preserve in the rolling foothills of the Berkshires, and overlooking a meadow in full bloom, Godard’s sculptures blend nicely with their surroundings.

Featuring themes like nature and artifice, flows and networks, virtual cities and ornate designs, Chevalier creates palpable images that invite the viewer to look into himself and provides insight about our relationship with the changing world around us.

Known as one of the pioneers of both digital and virtual art, Chevalier has been utilizing computers in his work since 1978, aiming to create immersive installations. “Immersion is a central concept in my work because it gives the viewer new and unusual experiences in art and enriched the world of emotiveness,” he noted once, in an interview with Visual Atelier 8.

“I am interested in developing multi-sensory creations that stimulate all the senses (sight, hearing, smell).”

His projects incorporate generative and interactive virtual reality installations projected on large scale, shown on Leds screen or LCD screen, sculptures created with a 3D printer or with laser-cut, holographic imagery, and other forms. The interactivity of his work also adds a quality of playfulness to his art. It’s this playfulness, alongside a sense of etherealness that’s come to be recognized with his work, that makes his art a profound experience.

As the light passes through the intricately carved wood, Krawczyński’s one-of-a-kind pieces create unique patterns of light and shadow, transforming an ordinary interior into a warm, enchanted landscape.

Born in Poland, Krawczyński has his mom to thank for introducing him to the tropical fruit which serves the basis of his work. “In 2009 thanks to my mom, for the first time in my life, I accidentally came across the gourd fruit,” he writes on his website. “As soon as I made my first gourd lamp for myself, I knew that I wanted to make another one.”

But creating his handcrafted lamps requires much effort and time. Making one lamp usually takes between 3-5 months of work, adding up to about 2-3 lamps per year. “For me, the quality, the perfection of the finished lamp, self-fulfillment, and satisfaction from my work are most crucial – they are more important than the number of lamps I can create,” says Krawczyński. “That is why I never repeat their patterns; each of my handmade lamps is matchless, extraordinary and will not be imitated in the future.”

“I use feral animals in my work as a metaphor for man’s mismanagement and overuse of the environment,” Parer relayed in an interview with Kaltblut Magazine. “I am interested in how easily we anthropomorphize to tell our stories without fully acknowledging that we are animals too.”

Based in Tasmania, her work is very much inspired by the Tasmanian landscape, but touches upon universal subjects. As such, it has been exhibited around the world, engaging crowds with questions about the role of humans in preserving the natural world.

Australian artist Amanda Parer began her art career as a painter and sculptor in Sydney but now resides Tasmania with her family, where she focuses her practice on creating public art installations, which are presented around the globe. Since 2014, her installation has been showcased in 100 cities around the globe, continuing to capture public attention. And for good reason!

Using light and color, she creates unique installations that do just that, provoking a heightened sensory awareness in the viewer. According to West, our understanding of color can only be realized through the presence of light. And so, by playing and adjusting the colors, she explores the engagement between materiality and a given site.

These installations also evoke a sense of nostalgia. “My most vivid memories of childhood are based on light and color, not necessarily together but sometimes,” she recalled. “These experiences would be in a car, my dad driving through Barnsley town center, which at the time was lit with incandescent and neon lights. The light was much warmer then, an enticing glow.”

“I was always very perceptive, even as a child, and I would pay attention to the reflections on the floor, particularly on the wet floor so common in the north of England,” she added. “I found it really alluring. I have a lot of memories of being driven about places and being in transit.”
