About The Artwork
Interactive collage on aluminum with augmented reality (AR) layer selfie stream, 2015 We are the astronaut. Our spacesuits, devices, services, technology. This series uses a free smartphone app (eKo Art). When viewed through the phone, the work reveals hidden content. The AR layer in this series is an endless mirror selfie stream pulled from the web. Viewers become performers as they hold up their phones and reflect the images. When the screen is touched a celebrity selfie appears and the astro gets a bit of “Star Power” The astronaut is a bittersweet figure; for most of history human beings have gone outwards, searching for answers. Now we go inwards instead. We are all connected but separate, searching the void, increasingly dependent on technology to lead us through the darkness. The Astronauts in this series brandish social media logos and practice mudras (sacred hand gestures), mirroring our attempts at connecting with something bigger than ourselves. The spacesuit keeps us safe, in control, in communication with fellow travelers. What would happen if we chose to attempt to touch the universe directly, remove it from our lives?

There is no such thing as science fiction! Ko’s interactive art plays with Mediated Reality, Collective Consciousness, and Layered Experiences. Voyeurs are invited to engage via their smartphones or more traditionally (with their eyes); their experience altered by the amount of technology they’ve invited into their lives. STATEMENT “Future and ancient, natural and artificial, seductive and scary; our strange and modern lives are driven by juxtaposition and synthesis. To live in the ‘now’ is to live in a strange and surreal state of being. Reality has subsumed fantasy, life imitates art and vice-versa with a whole new level of intensity; together we ride this roller coaster feedback loop. The collective consciousness steadily strives towards deus ex machina; we are made connected but separate by our technology. There is no such thing as science fiction; all our stories, dreams, beliefs are are simultaneously true and entirely delusional.” ARTIST Erin Ko is a visual artist from the United States. She combines traditional art-making methods with new media tools to address our complicated love/hate relationship with technology. She is classically trained and has worked in video games and new media. She is the co-founder of Hutong Games. For more visit: erinkostudios.com
