![]() ![]() ![]() In his work he utilises aesthetics as tools for resisting, altering, and proposing alternatives to systemically pre-set desires such as those of normalising market logics but also the acknowledgment of desires without objects and of desire as force rather than need. Lukas Malte Hoffmann is researching instances in which digital and analogue systems overlap and intersect. by Lukas Malte Hoffmann is the third project in the new screening programme ‘Dialogue Model: I can’t hear myself without you listening’ for M8 Art Space curated by Edel O’ Reilly. Instead of falling into a minimalist approach or refraining from the virtual world, it proposes a reformulation of how we engage with digital complexities and their aesthetics. is part of an ongoing research project by the artist titled ‘Digital Subsistence’ which considers the abundance of digital access we have become used to. How the momentary act of restricting our access to content can conjure the agency of the algorithm as a mediator to our desires, recognising the now visible mediator as other. This work mines the occurrence of anomalies in our digital experiences and how we can read them as an act of unexpected individuality or disobedience. ![]() What does it mean if a phone or computer fails, makes a mistake, breaks a rule? When this access is smooth and instant, there is no need to reflect on this process yet when our digital habits are interrupted by glitch or lag, we can perceive our previously compliant technology to be limiting us and making tacit our inability to operate in these systems outside of the interface. These gestures are often so habitual that they seem to be performed involuntarily by muscle memory as soon as we have the thought to gain access to our email, banking, memories or other resources. This multi-channel video work begins with the ocular, haptic and cognitive exercises we perform in daily choreography with our devices and their interfaces, our contact-commands. What are we offering as the basis for the training, learning and modelling of patterns and how much ownership are we willing to take of the logics of our affect and sharing in this process? What impact does this have on our notion of touch as command and our relationship with technology, particularly forms designed to understand us? They open a space to relate to the understanding of AI not as synthesised intelligence but as a set of processes of pattern abstraction, recognition, extraction and generation based on our own data, our histories, assumptions, biases and approaches.
