EJTECH: XENOPTYX I Exhibition

Date: 2022.05.18
EJTECH proposes technologies for a new faith by raising a triptych altarpiece of hardware cloaked in a mechanistic shell, driven by its entrails of flowing algorithmic logic. An emerging entity of outputs reconnected into inputs. Substance inciting substance. A reiterative reconfiguring feedback system patched into itself. Self transforming and in constant transition.

Inherent to matter, as it reshapes itself into exquisite intricate patterns of infinite scales, is the perpetual entanglement of becoming. Permutations of substance unfolding in waves of desiring dynamism.

EJTECH proposes technologies for a new faith by raising a triptych altarpiece of hardware cloaked in a mechanistic shell, driven by its entrails of flowing algorithmic logic. An emerging entity of outputs reconnected into inputs. Substance inciting substance. A reiterative reconfiguring feedback system patched into itself. Self transforming and in constant transition. 

From a contemporary culture flattened by screen content, EJTECH extrudes new rituals for encountering difference. The transformative potential of coexistence and the rediscovery of a vital New Materialism. 

Traditionally triptychs were only to be opened and unfolded during special ceremonies as unifying gates or doors between mundane and holy spaces. Miraculous thresholds serving as an obstacle and a vehicle. EJTECH’s techno-organic framework consists of three XREENS of extended hyper physicality, unfolding matter into a liquid-crystalline mesophase of intertwined meaning and materiality. 

It is no longer interesting whether we are alone in the universe, but rather whether we can comprehend beyond the limits of our language and conceptual system that we are not alone. Western thought considers a mountain as a pile of rocks. “Outmoded” traditions regard the mountain as a deity. Locked into linguistic relativism, one cognitive and cultural process will lead to depletive resource mining, while the other lends for a respectful relationship of awareness and coexistence. 

The Acts of XENOPTYX weave themselves into nonlinear expressive proto-writing, inexistent before their intra-action. Recursive and elusive glyphs evoking incantations of prosodic verbal dialects, creating a space for contemplation of the unknown, articulating our inability to understand, making way for a new spirituality deeply connected to a new materiality. 

EJTECH is Judit Eszter Karpati and Esteban de la Torre. Their practice comprises hyperphysical interfaces and metamaterials investigating sensorial and conceptual interrelations, while blurring the differentiation between subject and object; rediscovering immanent soft grids of emerging structures. Driven by material research, resulting in performative installations, dynamic surfaces and multichannel sonic sculptures as an exploration of experiential knowledge through a deeper conversation with matter.

18 May - 10 June, 2022

Opening: 18 May, 6 PM

What plants are pollinator magnets, and what should we do to create a bee pasture in our garden? These and similar questions were addressed by the Pollinator-Friendly Programme of the Hegyvidék Local Council, which has MOME as a partner. Visitors were treated to a special seed mix sale, engaging talks on the subject, and a peek into the MOME beehives.

Three MOME graduation films are competing at the Fresh Meat International Short Film Festival in Budapest: Wish You Were Ear by Mirjana Balogh, The Last Drop by Anna Tőkés, and Glasshouse by Kata Sárdi. Fresh Meat is the first festival in Hungary to be Oscar-qualifying, meaning winners in certain categories automatically gain eligibility for the prestigious award.

Established last year for ecological and educational purposes, the MOME Apiary has welcomed two new colonies: on 30 April, during Bee Day, the Mézengúz and Pempő families were added to the Tót and Mézga families, collectively benefitting the local ecosystem. The event was both a community celebration and a popular science educational experience, with participants able to harvest fresh fruit blossom honey.
