Ξὑλͻgяάφ: THE POST HUMAN CONDITION

Ralf Baecker | Christoph Bauer | Robert Henke | Hans Kotter

12 SEPTEMBER - 08 OCTOBER 2024

Galerie Sara Lily Perez is proud to present Ξὑλͻgяάφ: "The Post-Human Condition" exploring the dissolved boundaries between light, technology and perception. This immersive exhibition invites visitors to experience the cutting-edge works of four renowned German artists, each offering a unique perspective on the intersection of the physical and virtual worlds.


Between phenomenology and cybernetics, you are invited to engage with the frontiers of temporal art. Focusing on the direct sensory experiences and regulatory systems of machines and living organisms, "Ξὑλͻgяάφ" challenges our understanding of human consciousness and the nature of perception in a post-human world. Light, sound and digital technology reshape our perception of the present moment, probing the depths of human consciousness. The works in "Ξὑλͻgяάφ" reflect these principles, exploring the dynamic interaction between the organic and the synthetic.

FEATURED ARTIST


CHRISTOPH BAUER

Bauer, a maestro who merges video art and the musical instrument digital interface (MIDI), offering sonic and visual IMon the senses. His works are audiovisual compositions exploring the temporal and spatial dimensions of perception. Through a synthesis of soundscapes and video projections, Bauer creates a sonata that envelopes the viewer in a multi-sensory experience inducing a temporal techno trance.


RALF BAECKER

Baecker's kinetic sculptures act as the nervous systems of the exhibition, embodying the mechanical complexity of organic forms intertwined with technological sophistication. These works are more than mere objects; they are entities, challenging the viewer to question the nature of consciousness and the boundaries between human and machine. Baecker's sculptures provoke a deeper contemplation of our relationship with technology.


ROBERT HENKE

Henke’s "Noise Patterns'' digital prints encapsulate the tension between rigid code and the beauty of emergent algorithms visualised. These high-resolution prints, created through a meticulous process of algorithmic generation and curation, reflect the unpredictable interplay of structured programming and aesthetic intuition. Each print offers a visual experience that resonates with the pioneering spirit of early computer graphics, blending the precision of digital creation with the nuance of artistic expression.

HANS KOTTER

Hans Kotter, born in 1966 in Mühldorf am Inn, Bavaria, Germany, is a contemporary artist renowned for his innovative work with light and perception. His installations manipulate light and reflections to create immersive environments, challenging the boundaries between physical and virtual spaces. Often described as the "architect of luminal reality," Kotter's pieces fragment and reassemble light into ethereal sculptures that play with perception and spatial experience.


After studying at the Art Students League of New York from 1993 to 1994, Kotter furthered his education at the Media Design Academy in Munich between 2001 and 2003.


His work has been featured in numerous exhibitions worldwide, including "Ξὑλͻgяάφ: The Post-Human Condition," at Galerie Sara Lily Perez where he, alongside artists like Ralf Baecker, Robert Henke, and Christoph Bauer, explored themes of technology, cybernetics, and post-human philosophy. Through his mastery of luminescence, Kotter crafts visual experiences that question how light shapes our understanding of reality.
