bio

short:

Post-medial tendencies, sculpturality and visuality are defining pillars of my practice. My working method is best described as artistic research and its outputs often take a hybrid artScience shape. I discuss the contemporary times we live in and attempt to shape and mold the futures to come.

mid:

I approach contemporary art as a non-verbal communication tool. To that end, I create experiential environments and thought-provoking installations to communicate complex subjects in an accessible and visual language. Themes that resonate often in my works explore the duality between humans and more-than-humans, humans and technology, or nature and culture. Considering these, I seek to problematise and overcome the dichotomies and create space for playful and impactful reflection and speculation.
I believe my practice can and does contribute to the ongoing negotiation of multiple crises we as individuals, societies, and as a planetary body experience. Much of my work builds on promiscuous and non-rigorous collaboration and research across the disciplines. Matching that with bold and imaginative speculations often results in a suspended transformational moments and plants the seeds of the futures we like to live in.

long:

I am visual artist, composer and performer working across wide field of media. Coming from Social Science background he aims to doubt and discuss the status quo of the “naturally given”, “normal”, and “traditionally right”. I focuses my attention on nuances of everyday life that, granted their ordinariness and omnipresence, cease to attract any interest and critical thought and are widely but silently accepted. I like to combine this sociological imagination I’ve been cultivating with a specific visual taste and soft spot for everything vibration – sound, light, and electricity. My works start with an idea and the form is what follows. Current ideas revolve around concept of energy, planetarity, value-making all that in a context of the rhisomatic moment we live in. My aim is to draw connections that may be both inspiring and troubling, but may nevertheless help us shape a future we’d like to inhabit ourselves.

I’ve exhibited and performed in Czechia (Vasluka Kitchen, Letna Studio, Korespondance, Prototyp), Slovakia (Kasarne, DIG gallery, VUNU) and across Europe (Gamma Festival, Petersburg; Mediamatic, Amsterdam; JRM, Paris; Trafo, Budapest; Genius Loci, Weimar; Grey Space, den Haag, AV depot, London). Besides being an active art practitioner, I’m also part of STELLA – Somatic Tech Lab – that maps convergences of technologies and movement-based arts. I, too, curate ssesi.space online and in Brno, Czechia.
Education and training-wise I hold bachelor of Psychology and Sociology since 2013. Thereafter, I studied Sculpture and Sonic arts at University of Tasmania, finished a year course in Gamelan (traditional Indonesian music) at ISI Yogyakarta and attempted a year in music composition at Janacek Academy of Performing Arts in Czech Republic. I hold a master degree in Intermedia and Digital Arts from University of Technology in Czech Republic and I am a certified electrician, too.
