Oxidation is often interpreted as an aging of the product, the touch of time on the material. Style is another mark of time on a product. Through those two aspects, Oxydum plays on the notions of time and style, using timeless geometrics shapes and a controlled use of the oxidation process. https://materia.nl/material/oxydum/?utm_source=Materia&utm_camp...

‘Sensorium Tests’ and ‘At the Threshold’ by Daria Martin8 March 2018—27 August 2018‘At the Threshold’ and ‘Sensorium Tests’ explore the relationship between art, science and empathy through the experience of people with synaesthesia. This condition produces experiences in one sense that are usually felt in another or by another – for example, perceiving sounds as colours. A person with mirror-touch feels other people's sensations of touch, both painful and pleasurable.The films, set in the style of 1950s melodramas, encourage you to inhabit the experiences of others and truly watch with all your senses.
