Lab212 Collective.
INSIDE FRONT COVER
Using new media, the collective creates installations that explore Lab212 Collective’s perceptions of space and sound.
These pieces, in which the visitor becomes an actor, provoke a loss of bearings and offer a sensitive interpretation of impalpable phenomena by giving them materiality as through light and sound beams in space (Passifolia, 2020), the force of the wind on the landscape (Nebula, 2018), or the weight of the body in the atmosphere (Starfield, 2012).
Lab212 is an interdisciplinary art collective, founded in 2008 in Paris.
Lab212 was founded in 2008 by friends who all graduated in Media & Interaction Design at Les Gobelins Paris. In 2015, they were Ambassadors representing the Assises de la Jeune Création’s artistic field for the French Ministry of Culture and Communication.

KINGAS GRAPES.
BACK COVER
Kinga Jakabffy, aka Kingas Grapes, (1988,Bad Ischl, Austria) lives and works in Vienna. She is an award-winning painter and illustrator. Kinga enjoys breaking down the layers of masks people wear to cover their true selves up.
Her acrylic paintings often show fragmented bodies in bold color blocks. Her paintings echo a Mediterranean vibe, which unveils the softness and vulnerability of a person’s identity under the everyday mask. Most of her subjects are nude, which further emphasizes the wish to portray the characters’ raw humanity.
Kinga holds a master’s degree in media policies and global governance and is currently working on her second book. After studying and working in Sevilla, Montreal, and Budapest.
