Abstract:
The interactive immersive installation resembles a diagrammatic huge brain processing everyday data. The environment combines sound and generative graphics, creating a subconscious experience for the visitor that calls on their intuition and cognition. It asks the question, ?Are we completely conscious of our thinking patterns when making a decision??
As an artist in a contemporary world, making paintings, installations, and mixed media artworks, I look for the similarities between people?s thoughts and actions to know what connects them. I take inspiration directly from my surrounding environment. The subjects include aspects of ordinary life that usually go unnoticed. By putting them in an unexpected context, I change their meaning. I playfully experiment with levels of consciousness and behavior such as inaction, omission, and aleatoric processes that function within my abstract works. The compositions or settings present poetic images that balance the work on the edge of recognition and alienation. They combine symbolic ideas and graphic languages. Using programming for the linear organization, and also randomness in the process, the artworks function with known and unknown elements.
