LifeLab
Energy is one of the most important factors for our future. Laura Beloff‘s work LifeLab relates the question of energy to the increase in population.

On the one hand, we use more energy per capita as ever before, while on the other the rapid growth of global population points the energy supply into an uncertain future. For us human beings, energy is a primary prerequisite for life and survival.

The work LifeLab examines the topic population growth from a personal perspective, from an angle of 75 years ago and of 75 years ahead. LifeLab uses wearable digital clothes to make the situation visible.

The other work of the exhibition, Appendix, i s part of a series of works by Laura Beloff that deal with the future of mankind and its relationship to technology. Appendix is an artificial tail, designed and constructed for a human carrier. This technical tool becomes part of a physiological body whose motions are controlled by the tail and triggered by a natural phenomenon (vertically): the wave amplitude of the Baltic Sea, respectively by an artificial system (horizontally): the direction of the Helsinki street car. Both in real time.
The work Appendix creates a situation that alloys the carrier with the natural as well as with the artificial environment.
