A recurring theme in Endlicher’s work is the “nature” of the web and the behavior of its users, addressed through exploitation of the Internet’s inherent architecture, the web’s HTML language, and user behavior on social media sites. Twisting conventional understanding of these subjects, Endlicher creates works that take the form of Internet art, performances, or installations.
I translate
systems and rulesets
from the Internet
and everyday life
onto one another.
Material for my web-based
work, performances and installations
is inspired by user behaviour from
Social Media, or by Internet protocols,
or even by the very architecture of the Web
– the HTML-language – itself.
I like to experiment with
the conventional understanding of
these topics and re-enact
Internet-phenomena in “real life” while
the other way around, I also
test out the cultural and natural
intricacies of everyday life
in the online world.
In many of my works
I have used computer code
as choreography for dancers.
In others I have taken on
the role of an anthropomorphized
Internet myself…
My work encompasses
theatrical manifestations
of online data in “real space”
and vice versa —
performative algorithms
deriving from “physical” data,
such as weather reports,
are utilized to choreograph
scenarios online.
