Logic as Inlay

"Always the same… only I am no longer the same…"
Simone de Beauvoir

The living - particularly against the background of radical
shifts in modern life sciences - has become fixed in reflexive
(self-)perception. In a homogenous world memories and
desires dissolve, becoming part of social memory, and in the
end existing merely in empty spaces. The logic of our
perception allows us to understand these processes and has
come about through socialization. We question the unfamiliar
less and less. Instead, we position the unknown as an inlay
within our existing system of logic, giving it a new dialectic.
Through human interaction with the natural environment,
social and ecological systems have lost their foreign quality
and autonomy. Yet, for precisely this reason, these systems
now appear even more inscrutable to us. How do we
encounter the dynamic micro systems in which we move?
For Mara Diener, Anne Duk Hee Jordan, GaI•la Uriol Jané and
Felix Schneeweiß "illusion machines" emerge from these
realms of experience - that humans have repeatedly
deformed and pervaded with science - in the form of
movement, space, light and meaning.
The "i understand" is only then initiated by a subjective shift
out of one's own role, one's own corner, into another and by
confronting the question of artistic work.
The inlays, which we implant, become bridges that lead to
other contexts.

In the artists' work his or her own exploration of the social
and autobiographical events and processes becomes clear. As
a result, the artists present the viewer with this labyrinthian
space, making historical and aesthetic (false-)consciousness
perceptible.

An excess of reflection remains.
