Boris Petrovsky's work deals with the connections between idea, sign, concept and object in a media-centric world. His objects and installations, which become “processors” of communications, information and their contexts through light, sound and kinetics, are characterized by the investigation of the construction of reality. They are frequently virtually extended or networked across different locations over the Internet. Petrovsky’s art thus invokes a critical state between work, tool and raw material, between chaos, cluster and form, between illusion, manipulation and conspiracy.

 


Boris Petrovsky beschäftigt sich in seiner künstlerischen Arbeit mit den Zusammenhängen von Vorstellungen und Zeichen, Begriffen und Objekten einer hypermedialisierten Welt. Die Untersuchung von Wirklichkeitsmodellen prägt seine Objekte, performativen Installationen und szenischen Konstellationen. Über Licht, Sound, Kinetik und Netzverbindungen entwickelten sich Boris Petrovskys Arbeiten zu idiosynkratischen Informations- und Kommunikationsprozessoren. Seine Kunst operiert gattungs- und zustandsübergreifend zwischen Werk, Werkzeug und Rohmaterial, zwischen Chaos, Cluster und Gestalt, zwischen technisierten Allmachtsfantasien, profanem Alltag und feedbackoptimierter Ohnmacht, zwischen Illusion, Manipulation und Konspiration.
