Olsen

Oliver Wolf, aka Olsen, creates interactive and site-specific installations, sound works and participatory projects combining electronics, audio and everyday objects. His work explores parallels between technology and theology, examining how both shape structures of devotion, belief and ritual. It also investigates the pervasive analogy between geist and computation and its implications for technological determinism, autonomy and agency. His self-made automata short-circuit the logic of utility. They turn robots and machines into »sense-fictional« apparatuses that respond to (techno-)logical promises and the drive for optimisation with humour and poetic absurdity.
