gl_xr, XR Installation, 2024, 12"x12"x12"

gl_xr uses algorithmic kinetics and novel imaging techniques to place the participant in an environment augmented with infinitely expanding and collapsing figures derived from 3D scans of humans embracing. The participant's interaction affects behavior of the environment, contrasting the organic, biological structures with their imaging data.

JLS Gangwisch is an interdisciplinary artist working with the interaction of digital and physical media focusing on the human figure, identity, and empathy. With a professional background in film and video production, their most recent work experiments with volumetric capture, extended realities, and networked cinematics. In the summer of 2018 they co-founded the new media arts collective strikeWare, collaborating with artists Chris Kojzar and Mollye Bendell to create interactive installations that explore both individual and political conditioning. JLS currently serves as an Assistant Professor of Foundations at the Hartford Art School, University of Hartford in Connecticut.
