EJTECH (Judit Eszter Kárpáti / Esteban de la Torre)
XENOPTYX

Inherent to matter, as it reshapes itself into exquisite intricate patterns of infinite scales, is the perpetual entanglement of becoming. EJTECH proposes technologies for a new faith by raising an altarpiece of hardware cloaked in a mechanistic shell, driven by its entrails of flowing algorithmic logic. Traditionally diptychs were only unfolded during ceremonies as unifying gates between mundane and holy spaces. Miraculous thresholds serving as both an obstacle and vehicle. EJTECH’s techno-organic framework consists of two XREENS of extended hyper physicality, unfolding matter into a liquid-crystalline mesophase of intertwined meaning and materiality. The Acts of XENOPTYX weave themselves into nonlinear expressive proto-writing. Recursive and elusive thermoglyphs evoking incantations of prosodic verbal dialects, creating a space for contemplation of emergence.

EJTECH [ˈeɪtɛk’] is Judit Eszter Kárpáti and Esteban de la Torre, a polydisciplinary artist duo working with hyperphysical interfaces, programmable matter, and augmented textiles as media to investigate sensorial and conceptual relationships between subject and object. Sound, space, light and time as material building blocks are paramount elements in their practice, analyzing unfolding patterns between technology and the human body. Driven by material research, resulting in performative installations, multichannel sonic sculptures and dynamic surfaces. Influenced by the philosophy of New Materialism, Holonic Theory and Somaesthetics, EJTECH aims to provide tools for exploring liminality, thirdspace, and the elusive state of now.
