Boris Acket
The Meaning of Experience
In the last couple of years Boris lived in fast paced short- and longterm project spans in different venues, festivals, and museums. These projects focused on scientific phenomena, optical illusions, complex systems, and spatial composition experiments. When the pandemic hit, this whole fast paced working method immediately collapsed, forcing him to re-invent his art practice. It provided a literal shift in perspective – a deeper search towards meaning in the works and collaborations he initiated. With this new sense of meaning and ‘consciousness’ new projects came to life with a different kind of story than before. In this talk, Boris dives deeper into the powerful messages and meaning of new media and installation art, and explores together with an audience how technology, light and sound can blend into a powerful message.
