Tobias Gremmler (DE)

The project unifies Tobias Gremmler’s most recent video works. The comprehensive topic concerns the digital virtualization of the human, culture and mind:

If intelligence emerges from the interaction between an organism and its environment, the shift towards digital environments may reshape human consciousness and lead to embodied structures beyond physical restrictions. The selected works show virtual bodies, reshaped by motion, music or fashion trends. The body as a medium is constructed by its content. The invisible becomes visualized. Time, music or motion becomes gestalt.

Saint Machine (RO)

Hybrid Sensorium explores the way we sense our body within physical space and the sensory distortions caused both by mediating technology and direct contact. The artwork is placed in immediate physical contact with the visitor, both thus becoming vulnerable to emotional contamination.

A fabricated structure is superposed on the natural medium of the body, an artificial, permeable membrane that tries to condition our biological needs in an osmotic feeding ritual. The organism tests our willingness to cede personal physicality to a constructed environment, a suspended reality caused by a gap in the objective reality. You can interact with it by inserting your head through its orifice. The cavity responds to your breathing rhythm in real time, trying to adapt it to its needs, while the breathless visitor will enter a cycle of sensorial aberrations.
