Loskot Richard

Richard Loskot (1984) creates in his installations a sort of modern technological still lives and subtile spatial compositions through which he continuously informs the viewers about his long-term research into „invisible“ and „what exceeds us“.

The aim of portraits of media artists Michal Cáb, Richard Loskot and Michal Kindernay is not only to present their current work (in a few moments they show their charisma as well) but also to show important features of contemporary audio-visual platform. By way of a focused work with technologies, their deconstruction and critique they survey the environment and systems they create or are a part of.

With great facility (sometimes also accidentally) they reach a critique of the present society and the art work itself. An ability to co-operate, open software, nature, space, noise, God and wind make for it all.
