The Listener / Patricia Piccinini (AU)
Patricia Piccinini is presenting “The Listener”. This humanoid figure that her crew painstakingly put together out of silicon, fiberglass and human hair doesn’t seem the least bit threatening. Actually, its vulnerability is what leaves the strongest impression. With a friendly look on its face, it seems to be seeking acceptance and hoping that we are not put off by its strangeness.
The Materia Prima exhibition has been produced jointly by LABoral Centro de Arte in Gijón, Spain, and Ars Electronica Export.
