Description
PAL is about connections, their origins, roots, the consequences of how we deal with them, and their inescapable imperfections.
Is there beauty in the imperfections? Like in relationships, where there is a constant tension between that ideal –clean, pure and pristine– vision of our starting point, in the co-creation between humans and machines the same thing happens.
Where do emotions emerge from when we code art? What’s the role of mechanisms, screens and other instruments we use to visualize the work?
PAL is a collaboration between Marcelo Soria-Rodriguez and Iskra Velitchkova where both are exploring, for the first time together, all these questions by a very simple premise: a circle in the middle, that represents the ideal union, approached by each in a unique and vulnerable way, with two generative systems that play with the notion of circle and try to approach the central, perfect union in different manners.
PAL is a curation of 100 individual artworks based on a unique generative system. Once selected, the artists recorded them onto a VHS tape.
During a 4 days live performance at Kate Vass Gallery during Art Singapore 2023, the artists played the tape continuously at the booth. Every time it reached the end, they rewound it to random positions then passed a small neodymium magnet around the tape.
