意大利·金属艺术装置:INTERNA_MENTE

Materica专门从事最多样化表面的金属丝化，首次参加了米兰设计周，并推出了自己的装置:INTERNA_MENTE。在这种身临其境的体验中，这家意大利公司探索了其炼金术的能力，以令人惊讶和美丽的方式改变材料。

Materica, which specializes in the wire metallization of the most diverse surfaces, participated in Milano Design Week for the first time with its own installation: INTERNA_MENTE.

In this immersive experience, the Italian company explored its alchemical ability to transform materials in surprising and beautiful ways.

在一个始终开放的实验过程中，Materica从几乎所有类型的材料中提取新的表达能力，包括木材、大理石、石头、钢铁和纺织品。电弧枪熔化纯金属线，从黄铜到青铜，从锌到铜，将它们微化，并以高速将它们以微小颗粒的形式投射到待涂覆的表面。金属颗粒立即附着在预处理的表面并迅速冷却，从而保留材料和涂层的最精细的细节。这是一个非常通用的过程，即使是最简单和看似最贫穷的材料，遵循几何形状和增强纹理，或者在其他情况下，平滑和均匀化即使是最粗糙，不均匀的表面。然后，金属可以进一步处理——氧化、上色、镀银、仿古或抛光——以获得各种各样的特征和感官效果。

In an always-open process of experimentation, Materica extracts new expressive capabilities from almost every type of material, including wood, marble, stone, steel, and textiles. An electric arc gun melts wires of pure metal, from brass to bronze, zinc to copper, micronizing them and projecting them at high speed as tiny particles onto the surface to be coated. The metal particles immediately adhere to a pre-treated surface and quickly cool, thus preserving the material and coating even its finest details. It is an extremely versatile process that ennobles even the simplest and seemingly poorest materials, following geometries and enhancing textures or, in other cases, smoothing and homogenizing even the most rough, uneven surfaces. The metal can then be further treated - oxidized, colored, silvered, antiqued, or polished - for a wide variety of characters and sensory effects.

在Alcova的空间里，一个以前的冷藏室变成了一个引人注目的镜子室。内部，完全内衬回收的中密度纤维板，金属化成镜子般的效果，并经过不断变化的氧化和着色过程处理，创造了一个连续折射的万花筒。许多色彩效果丰富了反射的相互作用，通过无限扩展和扩展环境的维度来拥抱和包围游客。

In Alcova’s spaces, a former cold storage room became a striking chamber of mirrors. The interior, fully lined in recycled MDF sheets metallized to mirror-like effect, and treated with ever-changing oxidation and coloration processes, created a kaleidoscope of continuous refractions. The interplay of reflections was enriched by numerous color effects, embracing and surrounding visitors by infinitely expanding and dilating the dimensions of the environment.

顷刻之间，游客们就被从世界其他地方带走了。他们进入了一个悬浮的、亲密的、隐藏的维度，并立即遇到了一个神秘的人物，揭示了Materica转化能力的其他方面——一个似乎来自无限地平线的形状，以可降解聚苯乙烯为模型，全金属化，像其他装置一样反光。金属丝遵循其弯曲度，突出其雕塑的可塑性。

In an instant, visitors were transported away from the rest of the world. They entered a suspended, intimate, and hidden dimension, and immediately encountered a mysterious figure that reveals other aspects of Materica’s transformative abilities - a shape that seemed to come from an indefinite horizon, modeled in compostable polystyrene, fully metallized, and reflective like the rest of the installation. The metal wire followed its sinuosity and highlighted its sculptural plasticity.

“镜面中倒影的自己，使我们成为自己心中的人物，就在现在。与一个人面对面，而这个人反过来又充当了我们的镜子。内外转换，因为这个图像是我们与自己亲密对话的物体。”通过转化的物质，在新的金属伪装和充满魔力和美丽的新身份下，Materica邀请游客在时间之外旅行。

“The mirrored surfaces that reflect us make us the central characters of our own being, here in the present. Face to face with a figure that, in turn, acts as our mirror. The interior becomes the exterior, because that image is the materialization of our intimate dialogue with ourselves.”

Through transformed matter, cloaked in a new metallic guise and a new identity full of magic and beauty, Materica invited visitors to travel outside of time.
