Rafael Lozano-Hemmer
Pseudomatism is the first monographic exhibition of the work of Rafael Lozano-Hemmer in Mexico. The title of the exhibition is a neologism that alludes to surrealist automatism, an artistic practice developed on the basis of subconscious expression, recognizing the value of the random and the accidental. On the contrary, a pseudomatism is an action that is almost-voluntary: if an automaton “acts by itself” the work of Lozano-Hemmer tries to “act in relation to.”
Through the touch, sight, breathing, hearing and movement of the public, the exhibition seeks to activate the relations between machine, environment and perception in order to highlight the ways in which technology, the body and the body politic interpenetrate and are inseparable.
