1967年生于德国科隆,现工作生活于科隆 。比约恩·舒尔克是一个雕塑家,他将现场空间能量转化为活动的回 应。他复杂而沉重的雕塑呈现出缓慢细微的动态,而其惊人的物理存在是基于正式的现代抽象的词汇。他创作 的结构愉悦,扰乱和迷惑观众的期望,开展一种观众和机器之间不可预知的行为交换。利用太阳能板,红外监控 和空气推进触发动作或声音,舒尔克的雕塑的周围成为一个观察和干预场所。当观众靠近时他的多疑而又脆弱 的“生物”时,它将由运动传感器唤醒。这些充满精神感情的自动化作品似乎荒诞并从Valie Export——他在科隆 媒体艺术学院的导师处继承了一种怪异的表演化幽默。舒尔克的作品表现了一种人工智能和荒谬,以唤起一种 关于现代观察和精确的方法。由bitforms画廊代理。
Björn Schülke (b. 1967, lives and works in Cologne,Germany) is a sculptor who playfully transforms live spatial energy into active responses. Slow deliberate movements in his sculptures consider mass and weight of form while their striking physical presence is anchored in the formal vocabulary of modern abstraction. His constructions delight, disrupt, and disorient viewers` expectations — staging an unpredictable behavioral exchange between the audience and the machine. Using solar panels, infrared surveillance and air propulsion to trigger movement or sound, the immediate surroundings of Schülke`s sculptures become sites of observation and intervention. His ‘creatures’ are suspicious, vulnerable subjects that are awakened by motion sensors as the viewer approaches. Psychically charged, these automated works seem fantastical, inheriting an odd performative humor from Valie Export, one of Schülke`s mentors at the Academy of Media Art, Cologne. Evoking the tools of modern observation and precision, Schülke`s work suggests artificial intelligence as well as absurdity. He is represented by bitforms gallery.
