Listen to Batteries

‘’Listen to Batteries’’ is centered around the dominance of information and data in our world, in relation to the ideas of the post-human, the artificial and the animal. It focused on the the collection, the transaction and the archiving of the data of contemporary technological systems placed in different scales, apps and worlds. The Digital Installation explores the idea of a fully autonomous and fully functional, mechanical ecology. All the bodily – materialities that inhabit this ecology are trans-related and co-dependent, intermediated from their natural, cultural, religious, historical and material context. This ecology is situated in a scenario where the concept of time is united and undivided, or in other words there is no distinction in between the past, the present and the future. The materialities that are included in this system construct one new, united post-human body, purposed to produce info and data, feeding the algorithms day and night, with energy, feelings and thoughts. These energies are being digitalised, stored, transformed and mutated, inside an ever ending cycle of collection and feedback, with the final objective of producing and consuming a product.

Super Gonorrheia (GR)
George Ouzounis was born and raised in Thessaloniki. He completed his studied in Architecture at Technical university of Crete at 2020 and since he lives and works in Athens, both as an architect and conceptual 3D Render Artist. His work includes different media, in between 3D Scan, Render, photography and Video. The last 2 years he is working on his ongoing project ‘’Super Gonorrhea’’ where he creates fantastic chimeras and worlds that draw inspiration from the (post)-human body, gender and sexuality. His works are always situated inside an artificial or natural ecology. ‘’My practise is based on the relations between bodies and their mutual dependance and co – existence inside the broader systems, ecosystems and ecologies in which they are situated into. Essentially, it is placed in between the artificial and the natural, in between nature and technology or simply between reality and a fantasy. In parallel, my practise aims to understand and analyse the contemporary complexity of our world and to structure a different and more positive post-human scenario in relation of how we want to look on upon ourselves in the future’’.
