Winners from The British School of Brussels: Lily Roepke, Aminata Jaiteh, led by professor Helen Beck.
Using the intersection between Art and Science inspired by the work of Leonardo Da Vinci’s they have created a piece that explores the links between nature and space. As Da Vinci was said to be responsible for the discovery of earthshine and was interested in the effects of other bodies in the solar system on earth the work represents how an object can be effected by the force of another without the first needing to be directly touched. This shows how everything is interlinked within the solar system.
Winner nr 5: “Ability to concentrate thanks to goldfish”
Winners from The British School of Brussels: Clement Mennicken, Adam White, led by professor Nicola Pestell.
After noticing the current Internet-world provides fast information and may impact the way our brain gets gratification and fulfils our needs and wishes, and after looking through Da Vinci’s sketchbooks, they created a system which enables the viewer to focus attention on movement, made from recycled materials. They worked to create an artistic expression of delayed gratification. They aimed to show beauty in a process, albeit a simple one – the viewer focuses on the auditory, visual and sensory information, provided to them through a simple movement. No fast-forwarding, no double-clicking.
