Profile
GlogauAIR resident from April 2018 to June 2018
GlogauAIR Project
I would like to further explore the topic, lost of communication with modern technology and ways that I can further enhance audiences experience with strings and nails installation. For this residency, I would like to explore the possibility of combining live performance (utilizing lights and shadows) with filmed video art projection on the physical strings installation.
The tender emotions I find in electronic music plays a big part in my creative endeavors. Therefore, my work were all strongly influenced by the tracks that I love. The city of Berlin provides me a chance to further explore that freedom of expression in both art and music.
I have attended the previous opening this year during 48 hours Neukoelln, and I feel that the space and curation at GLOGAUAIR would be a perfect chance for me to express myself as an artist.
CV Summary
I feel that the issues that our society are facing – political, religious, or racism all developed because we fail to communicate with compassion. The world we live in now connects us on a very surface level. Information is bombarding us every day and nothing is being filtered nor processed before it goes back out again.
As humans, we should connect by being empathetic to each other. Yet often times we are too soon to judge and to draw conclusions. By utilizing space installation and video art, I am able to make people feel the power of being emotionally connected again. Art and music are the only two languages that have no boundaries.
