NEW AND UNEXPECTED FUNCTIONALITIES Five pieces or installations explore the theme of the Biennale this year - Beyond Consumption - concerning the idea of expanded functionality. By sensorial, technological or the pure invention of unexpected forms of use, Expanded proposes several interactive projects that appeal to reflection and the audience's participation. These installations depart from unusual perceptive experiences to stimulate the user's creativity. By crossing the creative territories of art, design, architecture, music, dance and cinema, these pieces materialise an exchange between the producers and users of an active exercise in consciousness as the perception of reality in distinct forms. — TRI-PHONIC TURNTABLE, 1997 Janek Schaefer — UNDERCOVER TABLE, 1999 Thom Faulders & Anna Rainer — AUDIOLAB III - Swinging Sofa, 2003 Curated by: Jean-Yves Leloup and Hervé Mikaeloff — ANGEL, 1976 Simone Forti — IPOMEA-LOUNGE, 2003 Sebastian Schlunk, Wesley Hindmarch, Johannes Sienknecht — VENUE: Torreão Nascente da Cordoaria Nacional DATE: September 20 - November 02 //Concept, Layout: ExperimentaDesign //Production: ExperimentaDesign //Construction: Manuel Lobão //Insurance: AXA Portugal //Transports: FeirExpo
