Substrates

Videoteos, johon yhdistyy myös löydettyä runoutta ja jälkivirtuaalisen todellisuuden runoutta.
Teos oli esillä tieteellistä ja taiteellista työskentelyä yhdistävän projektin näyttelyssä Ars Electronica -keskuksessa Itävallassa. Näyttely oli osa nanoteknologialaboratorion ja taiteilijoiden monitieteistä yhteistyötä laajemman CCI labin kanssa.

Video combining found poetry and themes of post virtual reality.
Substrates was part of the CCI lab exhibition in Ars Electronica Center (AT) 2021 presenting results of artistic and scientific collaborative project based on the visit in ENAS laboratories (DE), organised by Klub Solitaer (DE) and artist Fabricio Lamoncha (ES).

Gestures and spoken words are found and captured somewhere in between virtual and physical spaces, encoded into visual and textual poetry with post-VR vibes.
In virtual worlds we are used to bundling with floating limbs to get some bodily awareness. These are guiding us smoothly to other domains, in deep shiny spaces. Gestures are still rather mechanical within symbiosis with machines and devices.

Marko Niemi: Pietist Compositions

Julkaistu numerossa 2-2021 | Published in issue 2-2021

I see an alphabetical debris of lost reflections, contouring an ”I” – or rather an already missing I, an I changed into dash. And that missing I is leaving (or just seems to leave) from one page to the next one or from inside to outside – although apparently there is nowhere to go but to this very same place. It is a motion constructed by its own – somehow more peaceful than painful – deconstruction. It is a connection.

Marko rotated ”I” 90 degrees, from portrait to landscape position so it became something like an epitaph. Rachel takes one more step and a dash is born. Her ”I” is a punctuation mark in between – while it remains faithful to the spirit of Marko’s poem: it is a commentary, making it new.

Rachel’s art is strongly conceptual, quietly paradoxical and movingly nuanced.
