Diplom Praxis

Art

In the same way that we can be attracted to moonlight, we can also be attracted to other light sources. The distinction between original and imitation triggers confusion as soon as it becomes accessible in reality. In the work hidden architect, the relationship between bodies and surface and the accompanying possibilities arising from spatialised imagery is examined. The spaces generated for the video are based on images appropriated from science fiction films, which have been further processed using photogrammetry software. The modified and recycled spaces trigger memories of familiar film sets, while others allow us to take in unprecedented perspectives. The video installation considers questions of cinematic spatialization techniques as well as the question of the limits and the capacity for action when using software applications.

Diplom Theory
Prof. Dr. Marc Ries

Art

The theoretical work places in question to what extent language support systems facilitate cyborgination, and how these apparently disembodied systems can conceal the merging of human and machine. For the sake of analysis, narratives, voices and bodies from different contexts were brought into play. While the practical side focuses on the visual, the theory focuses on the auditory level. The link between practice and theory lies in the study of the capacity to act and limits of software applications.
