People like Diana Vishneva define the vector of their practice. They are dance philosophers. – William Forsythe

Principal Dancer at the American Ballet Theater in New York (2005-17) and the Mariinsky Theater in St Petersburg, Vishneva is widely regarded as the world’s prima ballerina assoluta. The extraordinary technique of an accomplished classical dancer with an ardent desire for experimentation have led her to collaborations with leading contemporary choreographers. In 2013, Vishneva performed in Maurice Béjart’s Bolero, being the first Russian ballerina after Maya Plissetskaya to dance this highly coveted principal part with Ballet Béjart Lausanne. Outstanding choreographers including John Neumeier, Carolyn Carlson, Alexei Ratmansky, Jean-Christophe Maillot and Moses Pendleton have created dance pieces specially for Vishneva.

Bart Hess creates work that distorts the human body in delightful and troubling ways. Visually, it’s astonishing. – Beautiful Decay

Our wildest and most disturbed dreams of the future landscape near the work of Bart Hess. – Francesca Gavin, visual arts editor of Dazed & Confused and curator of Soho House Group

Bart Hess (1984), artist and designer based in the Netherlands and working internationally, describes his art as ‘futuristic fashion’. Trying ‘to bring together the digital world and the analogue world’, he explores several fields combining material studies, animation and photography in a surrealist manner. Known for his cooperation with Lady Gaga; experimental artist and ‘body architect’ Lucy McRae; fashion photographer and digital imagery pioneer Nick Knight; avant-guard fashion designers Iris van Herpen and Walter van Beirendonck, Hess creates futuristic fabrics and textures that blur the boundary between textile and skin, human and new species. In 2015, Hess created stage design and costumes for the renowned Dance Company Nanine Linning’s production Silver. His work has been shown in a solo exhibition Future Bodies in Stedelijk Museum ’s-Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands; as well as in exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Montreal; Centre Georges Pompidou and Gaîté lyrique, Paris; The Institute Of Contemporary Arts, Singapore; Saatchi Gallery, London, among others.

The Vision: To explore the outer edges and capabilities of electronic musicality without compromise, to turn sound design into an art and aspire to make records that sound like no one or nothing else. United by a shared passion for progression, technical innovation and ruthless quality control (plus large amounts of gaming, hip-hop and humour) Nik Roos, Martijn van Sonderen and Thijs de Vlieger have worked together since leaving school. Within two years of their 2003 debut release they’d already appeared on some of the most agenda-setting labels in drum & bass: Moving Shadow, Subtitles, Renegade Hardware, Shogun, Ram and many more. But even then they had no idea how successful their partnership would be.

A decade deeper: From their drum & bass roots they’ve proceeded to stamp all over the musical map to become one of the most established and uncompromised acts in electronic music. From their unique, custom-built floating triple-studio complex in Groningen, they’ve created benchmark productions, established three respected labels (Vision, Division, Invisible), remixed rave titans such as The Prodigy and Skrillex, curated their own Noisia Invites festival and scored games such as Devil May Cry and Counter Strike and music for movies such as The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and Transformers 3. To really understand where they’re coming from, what makes them tick and how their unique three-headed machine works visit one of their Noisia Invites shows. A place where the trio hold court, bouncing off the sonic chaos of guests from Gaslamp Killer to Teddy Killerz. Or lock into a Noisia Radio show where each show reflects their humour, the wider and more experimental tastes that they can’t express in their sets.

Crucially, experience Outer Edges: The band’s second album and performance concept, a vast project that sees them exploring the periphery boundaries of their expansive palette, pushing and pulling their vision further than it has previously been. Musically trouncing any typical treatments, arrangements and elements. Visually heightening, physically stimulating, technically unique and immersive in such a way it translates from festival mainstages to underground clubs, Outer Edges is the most defining chapter in the trio’s ambitious vision so far, allowing them to realise their designs in a whole new performance context.

New limits set both in the studio and on stage, the outer edges have been established… Only to reveal even further targets in the vision’s distance. The uncompromised explorations continue.
