ALTERFACT is an experimental design studio created by Lucile Sciallano and Ben Landau in 2014. Since graduating from Design Academy Eindhoven in 2013, Lucile and Ben have worked in tandem on various projects in different mediums. Their collaboration has culminated in the creation of Alterfact Studio, a platform through which to conduct critical research with materials and data translated through the manufacture of ‘stuff’.

Alterfact’s practice is currently focused on the use of 3D printing in clay as a small batch manufacturing process. They push the boundaries of this traditionally plastic-based medium, and play with its connotations of utilitarianism and gimmickry, as it moves into a feasible reality.

STUDIO MULDERS is a Perth based creative project of Annemieke who worked across the world as a scientist before becoming a ceramic artist in 2014. Her work explores the intersection of order, chaos, function, asymmetry and beauty.

She uses discarded vessels that are changed by cutting, rearranging or breaking part of its surface. This process of destruction and building up creates a form that is simultaneously fragile, robust, complex and simple. This inherent contrariness demands questioning and defies simple categorisation.

Trained as a factory production glass blower in France, BASTIEN THOMAS is now investigating a more artistic path. While being fully drawn to the technical aspects of the material, Bastien still attaches big importance to his main inspiration such as History, Archaeology, and Geology.

By combining surprising techniques with color and texturing experimentation, Bastien aims to reach a striking level of mimicking the natural effect of time against objects and materials to share his sense of wonder facing the immense richness of information given by archaeological relics and mineral oddities.
