zoic, april 2008
This work explores the intersection between reductivist sculptural form and the aesthetics of behavior, where structure and thought are fused. These are simple moving objects with seemingly life-like qualities—electromechanical life forms with motivations only just beyond our understanding. Its lineage lies in the diverse work of artists from Marcel Duchamp and László Moholy-Nagy to Jean Tinguely and Pol Bury. It exists in an imaginary dystopic landscape where the living and the machinic are only conflicted and arbitrary distinctions.
