Opening of the exhibition of Monika Pocrnjić

Elektronski origami

Origami is the art of folding paper into a specific object, which can be static like a still-life or mobile with the use of the kinetic energy coming from human hands. Its manifold applications enabled the expanse of some of the most in-depth fields such as design, fashion, architecture, biotechnology, interaction, engineering, and faith. The collection of installations is a result of contemplation on how to develop sensory, delicate and mobile origami sculptures from everyday materials and electronic devices. The artist’s works combine the techniques of paper folding and soldering of electronics, which allowed her to insert movement in these organic pieces. Reaction works are kinetic sculptures, which explore the relationship between humans and objects. They are experiments with alternative energy sources and environment perception sensors.

Monika Pocrnjić is a hacker and an art teacher. She likes to draw, solder, and she processes practical objects and combines them into installations for performances. She lives and works wherever she can find some paper, a pencil and soldering iron.

The Installation will be open on Thursday, 12. 9., from 20.00 to 22.00, on Friday, 13. 9., and Saturday, 14. 9., from 17.00 to 19.00.
