Dirk Baecker’s comment on this work:

“Luhmanns Vermutung wird hier [...] variiert: es ist nicht die Tiefe, die unter der Oberfläche fasziniert, sondern die Oberfläche selbst. Man will, will mir scheinen, nicht wissen, wie die Algorithmen funktionieren, sondern wird gebannt vom Zusammenspiel der Displays.“

The work gestures - songs of algorithm is a digital structure of audio-visuals which can be instantiated in various physical forms. At its core, this work examines the intimate and sensory bond we form with our mobile devices.

It is a modular, scale-able, site-specific networked sculpture for spatial settings of any scale and duration; from private digital space to larger scale white-cube settings. Due to the modular approach these works can be combined in various ways and form an adaptive networked sculpture.

This sculpture is the center from which various instantiations as installation, physical prints, time line pieces and scientific writing spawn.
