2-channel video installation (1’00” loop, 2017/2021)
2·1.78:1 spherical widescreen, quadrophonic sound
SEMBLANCE describes aesthetic effects in media feedback loops with Baudrillardian terms of Hyperrealism and the Simulacrum:
Sculptures that are materially created in evocation and in the visual logic of 3D models are brought back into the digital space using 3D-scanning technology, to determine how the true nature of the simulacrum – the copy without apparent original – can be communicated.
The piece has been remastered 2021.
