Angelo Plessas makes work in and around the internet. The focus of his practice is to network the offline with the online in ways that make us understand aspects of both conditions and to generate new ways of relating to both. His work highlights the ambiguous approach of spirituality with technology opening up themes of freedom of speech, social relations and identity. Plessas’ activities range from performances to artist residencies; from self-publishing to interactive websites; from sculpture to live-stream events and educational projects.
Meditation of All Beings proposes art as a form of establishing unique relationships with the cosmos and the Earth. Through a video, a sound piece, a quilt, and a participatory ceremony based on breathing exercises, Plessas invites us to enter an individual or collective ritual of discovery and experience of the beauty and power of the interconnectedness between all life forms. This experience creates new visual, aural and haptic sensations of presence and existence which aim at transforming the manner of being in the world.
