Ghosthouse

h.o (INT)

A deep dive into the information “swamp” is a kind of out-of-body experience. Smartphones, tablets, computer screens, and televisions become gateways for our spirits to embark on a journey.

Unexpected and uncontrollable analogue signals are altered and bent by the artist to create an audio/video noise-scape. Pre-recorded (installation) or live audio signals, audible through speakers, are sent directly to CRT monitors mounted on the speakers, visualizing the signal in flickering and abstract shapes and lines in black and white to create a time-based sculpture.

Umbilical Digital

Dmitry Morozov / ::vtol:: (RU)

Umbilical Digital is kind of a farm where a special algorithm devotes itself to raising “digital living creatures” such as Tamagotchis. The system monitors their condition and takes on all tasks that are required for maintaining their “life” and keeping their “spirits” up. The simulation of pressing keys makes the system seem like a person who is taking care of the digital creature: it exists as if it has been “raised” by a human hand.
