My Folded Ear, Meets your Retina is the first solo booth of the multidisciplinary London artist Jack Warne at the Artissima art fair with Spiaggia Libera.

In this solo presentation, the audience encounters an installation divided into two halves, symbolized by a domestic sink at the center of the booth’s wall. This division is a metaphor for the two brain systems that guide our daily lives and perception: the prefrontal cortex (associated with slow thinking and logical precision) and the limbic system (associated with emotions and rapid processing).

In each half exists two paintings, corresponding to the same moment in recorded time, a memory from Jack’s own family VHS archive. However, within the paintings the representation of this memory is displaced; a fleeting form which the viewer and artist are trying to grasp. This binary of opposition is amplified by each of the paintings augmented reality counterparts, which follow this slow / fast rhythm.

«  I want each work to be perceived as the same moment in time and to articulate it in a way that our own perception can be compromised. And even more potential for compromising through the combination of Brain Machine Interfaces »
