Okhaos Creations
What we make and why we make it are essentially the same thing. We begin with an idea, a material, an event or even a sculpture – which inevitably grows into something we can learn from. Each artwork we make, we learn more about ourselves and the world around us. It is not uncommon for us to put down the tools, pick up a book about physics or mathematics and stop working for a moment in order to explore the world of the already made for inspiration.
In building our sculptures, we try to utilize simple mechanisms, movements and structures so as to form them into something beautiful and thought-provoking The path to understanding can get amazingly complicated and this journey – while exciting to experience – is incredibly humbling before the vast complexity of even simplest things. The work we do is an illustration of the understanding we achieve through our art.
Inspired from the ideology of open source software and comprehensible technology like the bicycle, our intention is to create open source sculptures, whose mechanisms and creative process are clearly visible and understandable. We take the discarded wonders of humanities efforts, remove paint, strip down machines and transform produced products into a raw material to be understood in a context without concealment or mystery, while creating a sense of wonder and interest.
