Judith Fegerl shows the hybrid relationship and tension between technical and biological material as the subject of her work. Her approach can be understood as the transmedial development of a motif. Abstract signs are transcribed into the spatial-material, the acoustic into the graphic and vice versa. The transcription process itself constitutes a generative circuit. Fegerl connects diverse medial and semiotic levels: fur objects, sculpture-growing machines, autistic systems, mechanic voices, semi-organic patterns, perceptual installations, drawings and collages. Her work has been shown in Europe, China and Kenya.
