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.

Loskot Richard
The structure of the Tamagotchi video is based on the alternation of simple animations and texts. The animations remind us of early video games or simple computer games. For the texts he used the Chicago typeface which was designed for Apple Computer and was used between 1984 and 1997 in the operating system user interface. Unlike the main stream of Czech video making in the mid- 1990s, mostly based on performative elements or artistic unusualness, Mašín´s approach is radically different not only in terms of aesthetics but also conception.
