Performance, 2013-

The sound-video performance echo 10-9 takes place on the nano and micro levels. With a clear analog esthetic it demonstrates the formal characteristics of materials, which are transformed on the spot, creating ambient a/v landscapes. The development of the echo 10-9 project is based on research and experiments with nanobots, which create their own choreography in relation to different micro- and macrofluids, nanomaterials and magnetic reaction fields, in unison with physical and chemical effects.

With their interventions, the authors stimulate self-generated or autopoetic chemical reactions on multiple levels, influencing the sonic composition and choreography between the nanobots. The combination of physics, chemistry and computer vision creates an immersive environment and reveals invisible fields that create (auto)poetic effects with the sensory experience. By expanding the sensory spectrum the performance challenges the question of perception and arouses the idea of small-size worlds with different laws, co-existing on different levels – like an insight into a new dimension, or the ability to think the world differently.

Robertina Šebjanič is an artist whose work explores the biological, chemical, (geo)political and cultural realities of aquatic environments and the impact of humanity on other organisms. In her analysis of the Anthropocene and its theoretical framework, the artist uses the terms “aquatocene” and “aquaforming” to refer to the human impact on marine environments. Her works received awards and nominations at Prix Ars Electronica, STARTS Prize, Falling Walls and Re:Humanism.She exhibited/performed at solo and group exhibitions and in venues like: ZKM (Karlsruhe), CCCB (Barcelona), Gallery Cukrarna (Ljubljana), Matadero (Madrid), WRO Media Art Biennale (Wrocław), Ars Electronica (Linz), Device_art festival by KONTEJNER, Močvara (Zagreb), Art Laboratory (Berlin), Eastern Bloc (Montreal), Laboratorio Arte Alameda (Ciudad de Mexico), Museum of Contemporary Art (Zagreb), MONOM (Berlin), Le Cube (Paris), Eyebeam (New York), CAAM – Atlantic Center of Modern Art (Gran Canaria) and many more.
