Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This contemporary artwork features a sculptural installation composed of three repurposed air conditioning units stacked on top of each other. The dominant colors are various shades of gray, creating a minimalist and industrial aesthetic. The overall composition is geometric and symmetrical, with the air conditioning units arranged in a visually striking manner. The subject matter seems to explore themes of technology, sustainability, and the intersection of the natural and built environments, as indicated by the potted plant placed on the platform below the sculpture. The distinctive use of everyday, utilitarian objects as the primary artistic medium suggests a commentary on the role of technology in modern life. This thought-provoking piece invites the viewer to consider the relationship between function and art, and the potential for repurposing everyday items to create meaningful artistic statements. ...

B.1976, Argentinian/Israeli

Through humour, seduction, confusion and absurdity, Buenos Aires-born, New York-based artist Mika Rottenberg explores notions of labour, production, global economy and hyper-capitalist existence. Working in film, sculpture and architectural installation, she creates strange and chaotic universes where representation and real-life are interviewed in a way to reveal the absurdity of the human condition. Rottenberg’s works are inhabited by plastic, pearls and ponytails, vivid colours, deformed noses and fake flowers. Her absurdist films, depicting protagonists performing tasks in strange factories, are often accompanied by even stranger sculptures and installations. Describing her work as “social surrealism” and drawing inspiration from Marxist theory, the artist eschews images and narratives to avoid normative logic and to reveal reality as being stranger than fiction. ...
