Physical Reality Devices I & II, for TRIALE „digital framework“ Gallmannsegg, 2022

performative sculptures

Physical Reality Devices I & II are framing tools, touchable and usable art objects that suggest an intensification of the act of seeing and a questioning of one’s own perception. The user becomes a performer, examining they* real environment as if through VR glasses, which is recomposed in the devices. Inside Physical Reality Devices I & II the gaze is redirected and recomposed by mirrors. We see what would not be visible from one’s own point of view without these tools.
