爱沙尼亚艺术家Katja Novitskova个展“Approximation (Storm Time)”日前在纽约Greene Naftali画廊举行。

从无数的在线资源里挑选材料，Katja Novitskova从网络中采集各种图像与数据可视化——而它们通常特定于科学研究，并且总是难以理解。在这一次的展览中，Katja Novitskova精心打造了一种沉浸式的环境，在其中，非人类的生物形态与机器合并到了一起。展出的铝制平板作品的创意来自于广告，它们刻画了诸如蛔虫、果蝇以及真菌等模式生物——这些生物种类常常因为它们与人类的基因共性而被应用于科学研究中。被作为放大了的显微镜照片以及计算机制作的图样而留存，这些由图像生成的雕塑类似于一片人造景观，它们像植物一样“站立”地分布在整个展厅空间中。“操纵”这片景观的是三只类人猿，它们表现为由红外摄像机在人眼看不到的光谱中拍下来的样子。展览中最大的两块铝板类似于巨大而且形状奇特的粉红色卵石。它们实际上是蛋白质结构的图样——其中一个来自于单细胞的真菌物种，另一个来自于人类。
