Carsten Nicolai

There is no way that Carsten Nicolai can be pigeonholed, style wise. From re-imaginging the Guggenheim to a simple demonstration of a Sonic Boom, via the making an interactive locked groove installation. There is an awful lot of stuff on the site but this demonstrates how free thinking Nicolai is, dealing with big themes of dynamics, process and perception. His latest work is ongoing -"autoR (2010) by Carsten Nicolai is the third project realized by the Temporäre Kunsthalle on its facade. autoR is conceived as a self-organizing process for which visitors are invited to apply a total of around 100,000 stickers to a white background. The abstract form of the stickers play with the idea of a logo and refers to the structure of viruses and antibodies." (read more about this piece here).
