| Description: |
Presents a self-replicating, site-specific sculptural installation shaped by viewer-inspired data created by Prague-based artist Federico Diaz for the 54th Venice Biennale. |
| Synopsis: |
This is a fascinating exploration of Prague-based artist Federico Diaz's latest fascinating site-specific installation. "Outside Itself" is a self-replicating, site-specific sculptural installation shaped by viewer-inspired data created by Federico Diaz for the 54th Venice Biennale. It is an interactive, mathematically-programmed, robotically-produced and light-responsive installation that grows and morphs as a life force onto itself. Viewers of all ages and nationalities will influence the sculpture's ultimate form in this work of "Light" and "Nations". For Diaz, the robot is like a "stretched hand of our senses", that extends human ability beyond the limitations of the body, in the same way that society now uses technology to simulate or stimulate experience, or to create "social networks". Technology is relied upon to communicate and achieve what the body cannot - to go beyond, to go "outside" of oneself. |
