Jan Tomza-Osiecki
ISPC
Jan Tomza-Osiecki is part of a generation for whom the intensive experience of virtual reality – via new media, the Internet, simple programming languages, gaming, and 3D graphics and design – is key to creating works of art. His point of departure is the abstract sculptural form, which he animates through the introduction of sound, endowing it with realness and dynamism; the functioning of his interactive objects is based on a feedback effect, which is typically considered undesirable among engineers. The noisome issue of feedback is now at the heart of the object’s purpose, opening up the field of experimentation and creating possibilities for gaining a new understanding for familiar spaces and the movement’s of one’s own body.
