The artistic research is focused on the analysis of micro and macro dimensions and their prime universal patterns through physical phenomena. A research of the subtle and invisible realms. The core of artistic practice is the creation of a series of fascinating near abstract works that create primordial dramas. The fascinating and richly textured imaginative world draws the viewer into metaphysical environments that are uniquely informed by emblematic complex systems and organisms. The scientific mapping of a universe becomes an evocative analogy to human emotions. The development of a personal encrypted language of an abstract figuration has an emphasis on cybernetics, evolutionary theory and nature of consciousness. The artistic investigation is based on the discovery of new relations between artificial / digital world and natural systems and it leads to an expansion of our understandings of complex macrocosmic structures. It draws new perspectives of progressive alienated forms inside complex possible future life structures.


The Pursuit of Anomalous Mind Habitats - The transmutation of mind and matter was a subject of research in the field of alchemy and it continues nowadays through the sciences which explore the nature of consciousness, the creation of A-life, synthetic and systems biology. 'The Pursuit of Anomalous Mind Habitats' is an attempt of the mind to expand, mutate and change its abode. The intelligence is constantly facing the desire and need to cross the boundaries of the human body in order to extend the possibilities of sensing and performing in innumerable situations in space. At the same time, it needs to adapt and survive in the anomalous habitats and unknown conditions that it has never encountered before. The human body is not always able to perform actions demanded by the mind. Consequently, the intelligence takes acts of the transmutation of the body limits through the metamorphosis of the organism and synthetic matter. Rotterdam/Berlin, 2019
Massa Confusa: The Alteration Process of the Grey Matter - The alteration process of mind and matter draws new possible life forms. According to Anaxagoras, Massa Confusa is a disordered mass of corpuscles from which, as a result of divisions and junctions, the prime matter was formed. It fulfils an infinite space, pre-existing to the creation of the universe. If a form of intelligence organizes the corpuscles in a homogenic order, disarrayed particles start to formulate various types of morphing structures of mass and bodies. Rotterdam/Berlin, 2020
No Tempo - 'No Tempo' is an audio-visual performance with live music on analogue and digital instruments and an installation by Ana Brumat and Henrietta Müller. “NO Tempo” is exploring the analogy and interrelation between cybernetic systems and time through sonic and visual structures. In order to understand the whole we have to know the parts and relations between those parts. Time is elastic, our universe has no centre, but an immeasurable number of decentralised and organised entities, which are operating in heterogeneous velocity producing infinite time structures. These structures give the base for the visual and sonic exploration within this artwork. The multiple newborn organisms projected on the screens allocated inside the neural structure (4*6meter) are living and experiencing the fragmentations of reality inside space and time. They vibrate and resonate to the non- linear aspect of life. The natural system it is an intelligence that flows in an organic breath- like motion, sensing itself in an erratic way. We are building up a sonic and space experience by following the characteristics of dynamic and alternate time. The idea of ‘stop’ and ‘rewind’, which influences the timeline and other chronometric clockwork systems can place human out from its own temporal field. It is more natural to shift between stability and instability. The work in the same time, continuously creates infinite loops. It creates a cybernetic system where different apparatus and minds are merge together. The parallelisms between music and light machines, ideas, informations, interpretations, actions and patterns is revealed. It merges the feedback system in an intuitive composition with a flexible quality.
