Jacob Remin

Artist Statement

i am an artist and engineer, composer and designer. central to my praxis is collaboration and infrastructural critique, with special focus on the meeting between late capitalism and the algorithmic potential of the internet and computers everywhere. i prefer to ask questions rather than make statements. my praxis is kaleidoscopic, shifting mediums, roles and forms for each project. i like entropy, chaos and non- linear narratives. i pendulate between flow and working my way through the deep dive, getting stuck and getting lost. coming from early internet / hacker culture, i have never felt at home in the mainstream internet of web 2.0. in this light my art & community work can be read as alternate visions of connectivity and care, often manifested as physical works in the meeting between light, space, composition and interaction. i like to create spaces for conversation
