The artwork engages the relationships of body & space to image technology through the clarity of perceived images. The imaging processes displace and reform pigments and images, creating fuzzy borders. The Teknovisuell Experience series represents images of water as aesthetic and ethical qualities technology raises in our societies. The images in Virtual Material involve several layers in the materiality of the image, systems and processes in imaging, the vision-body relationship, and ways civilisations form understandings of nature. From an empirical, materialist philosophical standpoint, the works reflect on age-old discussions between Platonic and Sophist ideas, and the places spiritual and scientific ideas are permitted. Through the emphasis on the ethereal nature of screen-based technologies, the Teknovisuell Experience Details take-up these conversations both through the processes in which they were created and in the results of the viewers interactions and memories with images. By engaging the physical body with the vision, the distance in viewing engages viewers’ bodies in the opportunity to look at processes otherwise invisible to users of screen-based technology, but evident to builders of technology such as R&D, the coder, manufacturer and marketer. The details in Teknovisuell Experience were composed of the decomposition of images up and downloaded through social media channels; 7 times for each image. The final images reconstitute a representation, highlighting the way images become a form of cultural ritualisation. By further manipulating the image to highlight degraded visual qualities, and print at large scale or clip sections out as fragments, the various installation formats available engage viewers in contemplation of the areas in an increasingly liquid society. The scale and application of the image evokes motifs and patterns found in traditions of totems and textiles. Still images applied as wall coverings, pillars, scrolls or flags. Digital gifs of the images afford exhibition on screens and move static light reflections, creating visually ghostly movements.

Mari Amman (b. 1984, Dixon, Illinois, USA) is an artist working with allegory through interests in the secular and sacred. Poetic beauty and insights in relationships between the subconscious, technology, and built environments synthesize in a research based praxis. Geological Empathy and Sublime Rheology are concepts underscoring critical considerations in the ethical and moral applications of the imaginary to influence the real. The relations between idealism and environments results in reflective works with images, installations, poetry, performance, painting, sculpture, video, textiles and design. An EIT Culture Creativity Expert Evaluator, Amman works with biology, technological and geological scientists, music, architecture, and culture professionals. Her interest in socially and empirically determined forms of intelligence grew from familial and formative influences being raised near the Agonic line, surrounded by forest, prairie preserves, a nuclear power plant, and industrial agriculture. Ancestry with political activist Ellen Ammann and landscape artist Harriet Sundström motivated auto-ethnographic research after moving from USA to Norway. Her critical apprehensions in geopolitics, background in music, dance, design, and marketing built upon her research in social psychology, philosophy, temporality, beauty, sound, memory, somatics and parietal perception relative to technocratic conflations of scientific methods and the realm of fantasy in science fiction. She is a foundational artist to Art Farm Iowa (US, 2023) and Arte Expuesto (MX, 2023). Afjordance screened during AWMAS (UCSB, 2020); Omniscient, monolithic image and text, was awarded 1st by the jury in the Imaging New Eurasia exhibition, in Gwangju (SK, 2015). She was poet and artist-in-residence in Paris (FR, 2023), Bonny Doon (US, 2022), Kjerringøy Land Art (NO, 2020) guiding forest bathing and presenting Sublime Timescapes. She developed trauma informed psychological research and practical methods at Angelot-Trélex (CH, 2019), PraksisOslo, Praxisdansfestivalen, and Butoh residency with Mushimaru Fujieda at KHiO (NO, 2017, 2018).
