Heron-Sphinx-Sculpture by Troika

3D ModelNoAI

Exhibition: Grenzgänger / Crossers

Theme: The “crossers” follow a series of sculptures for which the collective draws from its archive of digitized objects from museum collections—fragments of the digital twins of historical objects are re-combined to new figures and 3D-printed. With this first solo exhibition in Austria, Troika focused on the complex forms of non-human intelligence between technology and ecology and raised questions regarding the possible (mal)adaptation of living beings to climate change as well as the digital afterlives of human myths, culture, and history.
