Stryx's Aly and Sophie recently collaborated on a project in collaboration with Eastside Projects (ESP), and the MFI Group. With the briefs of 'Void', and 'Cats'.
In response to 'Void', Aly and Sophie were intrigued by
incomprehensibility of envisioning a physical void, as doing so would
destroy the void's inherent characteristic of being unattached from an
outside, and infinite in size.
Through the vision of the absolute
nothing - that is, before creation - and the absolute infinite of the
universe we live in. Sophie and Aly illustrate the battle between
science and religion, which help people explain the great phenomenon of
our origins within the universe and beyond; can one exist without the
other?
Cats
Patty Cake is a viral sensation on the internet, which shows humans
casting their imagination on their cats by giving them voices and
personalities that are akin to human behaviour. The forms and shapes
created by the cats playing 'patty cake' are reminiscent of Egyptian
hieroglyphics, which mirrors the current explosion of cat-culture as
having a religious following. Furthermore, by projecting human
behaiviour onto cats, it is not hard to see that people perceive cats as
a 'blank canvas' due to the cats famous mysterious nature. Therefore,
cats are a suitable medium for people to attempt to give meaning and
personality to, as artists would an inanimate object.
