Torsten Lauschmann - Startle (Paperback)

en Lauschmann's work is informed by his interest in the earliest forms of magical entertainment and the latest technical innovations. In his largest solo exhibition to date, he explores the use of tools, techniques and systems to solve problems, with the aim of bypassing the tension between optimistic and sceptical attitudes towards technology. Startle Reaction uses Lauschmann's interest in automatons and cinema to play with the notion that we are capable of believing in things we know are false.
