Thijs Jæger & Jesus Canuto Iglesias

The Poet exists as an animatronic sculpture, a jittering oracle and mockery that moves and speaks within its own soundscape. Charismatic, cunning, and self-anointed, the Poet channels neo-accelerationist chatter into riddles, cancelspeak, and metaphysical slapstick. He speaks in wisdoms designed to mislead, offering bogus nirvana, mithya-moksha, false liberation. Moderator and kingmaker, gameshow host and spiritual grifter, he is Maya incarnate: the master of illusion, masquerading as a sage. The Poet exhibition will take place in ark.
