How do gravity and grace define current-day life in the digital age?

A meeting of two conflicting forces: on one hand, the idea of mass and gravity, and all the power that draws us earthwards; on the other, the unburdened fluidity of grace and elegance, which bring the positive momentum of beauty into play. Creative thinkers from a variety of fields the world over pick up the ball and explore with this subject through short presentations and in conversations. Speakers include:

* CECILIA BENGOLEA, dancer, Argentina
* ARNO BRANDLHUBER, architect, Berlin
* ELIZABETH DILLER, architect, DS+R, US
* RAVIT HELLED, astrophysicist, Israel
* LENA HENKE, artist, Germany
* THOMAS HIRSCHHORN, artist, Switzerland
* ISABEL NOLAN, artist, UK
* PHOEBE PHILO, fashion designer, France/UK
* SMILJAN RADIC, architect, Chile
* CHARLOTTE RAMPLING, actress, UK
* TOMÁS SARACENO, artist, Argentina
* HEJI SHIN, artist, Korea
* JUERGEN TELLER, fashion photographer, Germany
