AUSGANG studio means creations by Alex and Radovan.

Time is always determined by the strongest medium, thus... we live in the digital age and
the meaning of the digital - could be kind a key theme of grasping the narrative of the AUSGANG studio.

Their work is based on the faintness caused by the hectic interpretation of development of technological progress on the one hand, processes covered by environmentalism and the duality between reality and virtuality on the other. Thanks to the fusion of these, they warp the space of the installation in time, creating new and surprising environments that allow visitors to be absorbed by the situation, and perceive the physical reality of the exhibition in connection with its digital reality.

In their work, they apply not only the visual, but also the audio and performative language of the cyber environment - working with different strategies and behaving subversively in the middle of their communication state of art, where reality is reflected in a new light, aesthetic and coil. They ask questions about virtualization and socio-political problems connected with the creation of new worlds, not only to themselves, but also to the audience. A more complex application of interdisciplinarity helps them blur the boundaries between cyberspace and the realm of physical reality. Chaos machine accelerates, our imagination defragments and history is subject to speculative interpretations.

AUSGANG studio plays with the premise of how nature shapes our future and how they experience acts with memories placed in various installed objects or scenes - in a specific space, or in an immersive environment, or gallery situation. It’s a game. After all, even a child's ordinary game does not always have a winner. The game takes place as we become human and integrate our inner and outer worlds and doing experiments with our alternate reality. There is not destructive poetry, just an unfound key.

The audience, which, more or less, finds itself (in an blink of an eye) environment contaminated by cultural, social and political, ties in real life - is absorbed into another metaphor of the individual projects of them. Like Shakespeare said once: “The world is my oyster.”

Virtual reality is a real thing. It helps us find out what "being" is. It is a philosophical matter, and the means of research are not merely cultural. There's even biology at play. We find ourselves in the most amazing event ever to appear in the history of planetary ecology, and that is the liberation of life from the butterfly cocoon of matter. Nothing like this has ever happened before - the dinosaurs couldn't do it, and even the creation of cellular organisms without a visible nucleus can't compare to it. Not. It takes a million years of forward evolution before the moment comes when information is able to separate itself from the material matrix and look beyond itself - beyond a transcended
form of being on its way to a higher dimension.
