Pierre Proske is an Australian artist intrigued by the pervasiveness of technology in science and culture and its relationship to nature. After years of juggling parallel interests in technology and the arts, Pierre began to merge the two. Consequently he has taken on the ambitious task of rendering technology accountable to our sometimes misplaced but inevitable humanity.
Proske’s work involves exposing the unspoken relationships we have with technology and harnessing machines into exploring new aesthetics. Pierre is also fascinated by the collision of the biological and the synthetic – the nature and technology divide. He sees ultra-low power technology made from organic materials and recharged by renewable energy as the future and therefore makes an attempt whenever possible to drive his installations in this direction.
