Synaptique / Peter Kogler

Peter Kogler is an Austrian artist and pioneer of computer-assisted creation. Since the 1980s, at the frontiers of painting, sculpture and graphic design, he has been inspired by post-modern society, its sprawling networks, its information and communication systems.

The result is environments composed of interlacing patterns that are repeated in images where the organic and the electronic are hybridized. A sort of mental landscape that the artist imagines as a representation of infinity and proliferation. Hijacking architecture, the artist transforms our perception of space and our relationship to the work, placing the viewer at the heart of the work.

In the form of silk-screen prints, wallpapers or collages, sculptures, furniture or immersive lighting devices, Peter Kogler elaborates a universe composed of tubular forms, alignments and graphics from computer software borrowed from electronic culture. In his compositions, he uses the same motifs that he repeats on the surface and in time. Strong and universal symbols. The brain, which refers to the idea of an organic computer, the ant, worker and docile but master of the labyrinthine networks that the artist elaborates in reference to networks, flows and social links, and more recently still, an arm and a hand pointed towards the matter as if to recall that beyond technological innovations, without the hand, the machine is nothing.
