⦿ Tadej Droljc [SI] /// Osmotic Bodies
laser + A/V performance

/// Osmotic Bodies is an audiovisual performance that explores intermateriality through sound, visuals, laser, and light. As these systems collide, they overflow into one another: virtual and physical domains interfere, clash, and permeate each other, generating hybrid forms. These bodies drift between the fragile and the tectonic, suspended through exchanges of energy and dancing on the threshold of stability. The work unfolds as an osmotic field of tension—a continuous becoming shaped by visceral forces intertwined with a technologically mediated reality. Drawing from both old and new ideas, resampled material, and recontextualized fragments of previous works, Osmotic Bodies treats memory itself as an osmotic field—eroded, shaped, and constantly reassembled.

/// human.exist = False  I am watching a video on Instagram: a child falls from a high-rise building, caught by a passing stranger. The crowd is shocked and in tears, and my own eyes are welling up with relief. The video loops, and then I spot it—a sixth finger on the saviour’s hand. I’m crying for an algorithm (again). The piece is born from that daily glitch in reality, where the simulation looks so terrifyingly real that we don’t even realise we’re pouring very real emotions into code.
