Installations

The pair of artists, Radovan Dranga and Alex Zelina, who work together under the banner of AUSGANG studio, are a special phenomenon on the art scene. They created their own concept in which they use cables, waste, light and music to create fictional worlds referring to a vision of a dystopian future. On the other hand they are creating objects using organic materials – live mushrooms overgrowing the jars with embryos of robotic creatures as an added value. This conjunction is formally in direct contrast, however ideologically just strengthens the possibility to perceive life on two levels.

AUSGANG studio artistic practice is inspired by their fascination with new technologies, computer games, virtual worlds, techno and the implementation of these in art. They largely reflect on contemporary issues such as environmentalism, technological progress, the dichotomy between reality and virtuality, and the role of machines in evolution, while displaying the possible future scenarios of our humanity and the preservation of our planet under different conditions.
