High-speed Travel' Chair by Cometabolism Studio
About the Item
The work takes the form of a spaceship's cabin traveling at high speed, which is characterized by movement in a static manner, while simultaneously providing the user with a feeling of safety and flight-like anxiety when lying down. The relaxed state of physicality offered to the user by the act of "lying down" also creates a subtle counterpoint to the sensation of movement at high speed, culminating in a complex, comical and high-tech multiplicity of experiences.
About the Artist:
Cometabolism Studio is a design studio based in Shanghai, founded by Zhang Ning and Yang Yafei. Zhang Ning graduated from the designer maker program at Camberwell College of Arts, University of the Arts London. The direction of her work explores the entangled relationship between objects and human behavior. Yang Yafei graduated from the Department of Oil Painting of Sichuan Fine Arts Institute and Furniture Design at Central Academy of Fine Arts China. His works often use industrial readymades to blur the definition of objects and play with the idea of power of public space, attempting to derive industrial production relations through ready-made industrial components.
The duo have collaborated on several art and design projects as long-time friends and expect to rethink the creative process under the ruins of the post-industrial heritage. In 2020, they established Cometabolism Studio to explore the possibility of reactivating mass-produced industrial metabolites such as industrial components and blurring their function in space, allowing art to intervene in everyday space. At the same time, through digital generation and other technologies, they explore undefined art objects that can blur the border between the real and the virtual.
