AIR 2018

KRINZINGER PROJEKTE, VIENNA (AT)

A. I. R. | Krinzinger Projekte | 2018

In August 2018 I participated in the Krinzinger Projekte Artist in Residence Program, in Petomihalyfa, Hungary. During this period I began working on a new series, in the focus of which are drones used in agricultures and the photographs they take. The drone is a remote-controlled or programmed flying device without a pilot that is capable to gather information, and carry out logistical or special operative tasks. One of the prospective areas of using drones is agriculture. The shots the drones take can make tracking plants’ development easier, and abnormalities and illnesses can be easily noticed. If drones photograph a patch or a plantation a database can be built of the images, which can be used to forecast regularities and irregularities regarding the given crops.

I made a two-component series. The piece entitled Vegetation Stress Map summarizes visually the positive or negative effects of the vaporization mechanism, the range of chemicals, and their effect on the protection and development of plants. In my five-piece collage series – entitled Agrarian Strategy – I provide clues for the interpretation of the installation in the middle: concrete, existing operating principle of vaporization simulation, and expressions or motifs taken from digital interfaces marking basic directions. For me the most interesting part of the examined theme is the way how balance can be maintained between collapse and stability in this environment.
