Ex-machina is a solo exhibition in Baszta Gallery in Zbąszyń, Poland. The leitmotiv of the show is the author’s device Machine Creative, which was used to create and present other objects.
The idea behind Machine Creative was to build a device that would function as a creator, replicating the process from human-machine relation to machine-object creation. An artist, a creator, replaced by a device is not a new idea. However, it is still an issue to determine where the creative process comes from and how it exactly works. With all the knowledge, it still resembles a mystery. The process is reflected in the exhibition. Machine Creative produces objects from which all are different and each is unique. Although the mechanism is designed to extrude the material steadily, the filament is uniform and the extrusion is protected from external factors, every creation is one of a kind.
The device was used to create multiple objects, which were placed in different contexts.
