The Arc
(Carcinisation)

Leipzig-based artists Leon Galli and Yannick Harter construct dystopian visions of production processes and labor cycles across multiple media. As members of the media art collective THIS IS FAKE, their practice primarily examines VR/AR, the artistic potential of emerging media and technologies, and their influence on contemporary life and society.

They juxtapose technologized everyday objects such as selfie sticks and Roombas with menacing sculptural constructions. Various objects, some fabricated through 3D printing, encounter large-format screens displaying collaged visual worlds composed of 3D animations, found footage, and textual fragments.
