Meet the Artists
We conducted a ‘Meet the Artists’ session with artist Oren Ailam and Ivan Macera. Visitors joined the session to engage in an informal discussion with the artists. They learned about their artistic journey, things which inspire them and what keeps them going.
About the Artists
Born in Rome in 1975, Ivan Macera’s personal approach is based on experimentation and improvisation which provides the fertile niche that allows for the continuous and necessary evolution of the research of sound. Over the course of the years, he has devoted his studies to observing and analyzing the relationships between resonances as the means of developing audio expression, elaborating and creating sound objects, kinetic sculptures and musicial instruments, using largely natural materials from different places.
Oren Ailam is a street artist who works at the interface of technology, performance, poetry. He graduated with a degree in Industrial Design from the Bezalel Academy Jerusalem in 2014. He has participated in the Bat yam festival 2016, DLD theology festival 2018 and has been the Chief Technology Officer and Design Director at FotoMaster. He has had several solo exhibitions including one in 2017 sponsored by Jerusalem municipality, the pissing man performance in 2018 sponsored by bat yam festival, and one in 2018 sponsored by Tel Aviv municipality. Since 2018, he has been running an independent studio for art and technology, and street theology art and has been working towards interactive art education for youth at risk.
