"Hmota" is a Czech word for "matter" and it so happens to include both a letter "h" and the word "atom" alluding to the most destructive devices conjured by humans. "Hmota" here is represented as a concept that includes both a fundamental essence and components to its own disintegration.

Zihao Chen’s abstract paintings encoded with topologies of a fictitious faraway land of the "happening" provide terrain and stage for Tomas Penc’s sculptural and spatial play of objects, sounds and situations, ultimately bringing together traditional painting and sculpture with installation into experimental interactive landscape and space of web and electronic arts.
Special thanks to the curators @cas_idy & @fkialmostforgot, and the @aspace____ gallery for including our piece along other amazing work in "A Window at A Space" exhibition.

This video work was conceived during a silent retreat residency near the city of Pori on the coast of Finland. In awe of the calm and crispy nature of that winter afternoon, I was suddenly confronted with an intrusive question. What happens to all the websites that nobody has viewed in years, posts that no one ever read and files that never arrived at their intended email addresses?

The Last Judgement
Computer generated animation and sound, loop, duration 2:04 minutes, 2018

Modeled and animated based on a section of a 1505 Hieronymus Bosch triptych painting titled The Last Judgement.
Presented in ENDUSER - an evolving two-part exhibition taking place in Triskel Christchurch, Cork, Ireland over three months. This site-specific installation alludes to the mind-set we, as users, hold towards science and technology and its revolutionary potential that allows us to contest the boundaries of our collective existence traditionally demarcated by the external concept of God. This trend, however, also entails some dark aspects of how we relate to ourselves, one another, and our environment, all of which is the subject matter of the exhibited artwork.
