Mind Machine



This work can be interpreted as a subversive statement, as it allows the viewer to play with their own mind. Eye and head movements while viewing create a “glitch” moment in the brain.

The perception of stereotypes and familiarity as comfort potentially leads to a failure of social systems of knowledge. In this case, the autonomous comprehension and classification of complex relationships could no longer be guaranteed. Controversial discourses have been replaced by habit and accustomization. Although this experience can evoke emotions such as familiarity and security, it can be classified as a dangerous game with the recurring same in only slightly altered forms. The function of this reference can only be understood in a closed worldview. In an age characterized by the development of artificial intelligence and its increasing use in automated processes, this tendency can sometimes be seen as welcome.
