Intermedia artist Avery Mikolic-O’Rourke employs a variety of audiovisual and digital media to re-conceptualise our understanding of biological, industrial, and computer-based systems. Their background in painting and drawing has informed their approach to video and digital imagery, wherein the moving and motionless are precariously balanced in an effort to produce true ‘motion pictures’. Commenting on the potential for subjective experience of objective occurrence, Center-Point Cycle aims to expand one’s sense of the present moment and awareness of dynamism as paradoxically elevating and obscuring the quotidian: ultimately making the case that reality is constructed, not simply perceived.
