Technostalgia, kontrola i ironia. "Nonsense technologies" w sztuce Przemysława Jasielskiego
Technostalgia, control and irony. Nonsense technologies in Przemysław Jasielski’s art

Summary/Abstract: The fusion of art and science doesn’t need to be confusing for viewers. It shouldn’t be too easy either. Installations created by Przemysław Jasielski propose an experimental intervention into reality using nonsense technologies. These are not new technologies focused on the productivity and efficiency ‑ they are ironic devices making “one step beyond”. Strategies used by the artist diagnose critical points of technoculture. This strange kind of technology becomes a method to provoke questions, inquiries without a need for the unequivocal answers. Devices and objects shown by artists make no sense from a classical perspective of technology, they don’t work or the result of their work is unpredictable. This apparent uselessness, randomness or unpredictability, however, means that technology, treated as anexperimental method becomes an important cognitive and relational factor in the art world.The fusion of art and science doesn’t need to be confusing for viewers.
