CROSSLUCID & Natália Sýkorová
Dwellers Between The Waters. Folding
14.11. – 04.02.
Opening: Mon 13.11., 18.30h
The artist collective CROSSLUCID and the artist Natália Sýkorová present a multimedia installation that they developed together during their 2023 residencies at the MuseumsQuartier.
The installation combines sculptural objects and sequences from “Dwellers Between The Waters,” an interdisciplinary film project that was created in partnership with the poet and researcher Oxi Pëng and the musician Sayaka Botanic. It connects artificial intelligence (AI), magic, and alchemy to find answers to human trauma in the Anthropocene epoch.
The setting in the MQ Art Box is reminiscent of an aquarium, with the rhizome-like sculptures seeming to have escaped from the virtual world of film. They establish a connection between realities and entities and address the film’s multifocal narrative structure, in which human and non-human beings, artefacts, animals, plants, spirits, forebears, gods, organisms, and technical protheses are interwoven. Linked together in a visual-narrative universe, they share apocalyptic fears and existential hopes.
