ANNE DUK HEE JORDAN's work explores the interwoven relationships between humans and non-humans. Driven by a fascination with marine life, technology, sexuality, food and ecological systems, she creates installations in which organic materials and robotic beings merge. This enables a reflection on socio-political issues between the living and the non-living.
"All our resources, energy, inspiration, medical research come from organic, living matter. If we think ecologically, we have to think circularly and without interruption. If I zoom out of my body and look at the universe, I assume that I don't even exist on a larger scale. That's why I work with movement, romantic machines, sculptures and plants. Among other things, I create artificial stupidity, an ongoing robotic series of failing machines. They claim their right to exist, and their failure to save the world explains why we need more artificial stupidity in this world."
