Statement

The residency stay in Vienna is a handy opportunity to step in the contact zone of the city, exploit its professional – both human and infrastructural – resources, to capture its le dernier cri moments, plus find new tracks for the thought experiences that are lately on my stock.
Recently, my interest is oriented towards human ecology. Namely to look at how in the current state of affairs the very problematic notion of ‘nation state’ exploits on its – most remarkably historically questioned or even expatriated – ‘natural’ assets in order to sow seed of the political ideology of nationalism through various modes of autorepresentation. My research shows up the umbilical attachment of social sciences to natural sciences, the craving need of the former to be credited with the same exactness of methods as the latter, while inevitably falling back to the ‘false bottom’ of metaphysics by drawing on the irrational, mythological character of the nation religion’s ungrounded beliefs.
As a surplus engagement, as the project leader of Crosstalk Video Art Festival, I am more than intrigued to map the local scene’s new media production for future collaborations and artists’ involvement.
