some sketches to the formation of new sensual experiences
"The new sensualities can be opened through technological progress" М.A. Lifshitz
"Technical civilization" and changing along with her everyday life, more and more saturated by technique and technology, require new vision and hearing, new sensuality and new reflexivity, changes historically formed patterns of instincts and reactions.
"New human" should show a complete contrast to the real person. This is a human speaking in another language, having different gestures, obeying different impulses.
This video is a strange dance in black weightlessness of space. 3d models is illuminated only by blue light, seems, like the humans, who perform whether a dance, or an acrobatic pas, like figures in the painting by Picasso "Acrobat". The viewer instinctively synchronizes sound with motion of fingers models. There is a feeling of indivisibility of the audiovisual field. Strangeness of movements refers to the technique of glitch.
In this work artist, hacking and upgrading the program code, detects (uncovers) hidden
mechanisms of movement and interaction with space and sound in previously static model.
In his oeuvre, a musician and media artist Oleg Elagin, focuses on the problem of interaction, mutual influence and interpenetration of the digital and physical environment. In the XXI century, it is difficult to find a person whose life would not be directly connected with the digital world. Digital technologies have formed a new environment of existence, with its laws and rules of conduct expressed in post reality in which the digital and analog worlds merged in the concept of “contemporary nature”.
Exploring a new language of sensitive, formed on the basis of new technologies, Oleg Elagin rethinks the boundaries of the corporeal in a new reality, appeals to the aesthetics of error, temporal failures glitch, white noise and etc.
Elagin interested in the processes taking place in virtual spaces and their influence on the physical world. Concepts such as "digital freedom", free exchange of knowledge, "new copyright", different codes, concept of Livshits about new sensualities, overcoming the boundaries of corporeality, extends tradition of ready-made video and photo uses accidentally found digital material.
