All this money – and it sings, too! Shadi Jafarabadi's Monetary Mirrors in Videomapping festival of Lille was as political as it was colourful. A very nice exception of the power mapping tradition.

My days in IBSIC conference and Video Mapping Festival in Lille started with immersive video art at L'Hybride. Here's Julia Shamsheieva's delighfully dadaistic and pink part of the evening's program.

I know François Morellet's pieces, where ultra-straight neon tubes hang mid-air like ballerinas frozen in their jump, and Creation n° 6 surprised me with its free flowing doodle-likeness. I kind of felt this piece winking at me, and found myself smiling.

As seen in the Brilliant Works exhibition at Museum Ritter.

Miriam Prantl's Led-relief Square is a fine example of minimalism overwhelming the The Marli Hoppe-Ritter Collection: simple at first sight, unfolding with some time spent with it. The Collection, based on what I saw at the Brilliant Works exhibition, is also lacking artworks with flashy colours for flashy colours' sake. Much appreciated.
