NIESATT is reflecting, in a minimal expressionistic manner,
on the bizarre world we are
living in.

NIESATT is a collaborative net-based project by Jurgen Trautwein and Silvia Nonnenmacher. On the creative methodology, the work employs a relatively low-end approach, drawings on letter-size paper with pen and ink before converted into .gifs. In the work, the artists observe the obsessions and addictions to the digitalized world of people nowadays, having lost their connection to nature and becoming victims of them selfs for ignoring environmental and political issues in favor of their own personal gain. Through various social media platforms and devices, we are re-categorized and discriminated, being spied on, infiltrated, manipulated as Internet dependents and exploited for unknown digital harvest. In addition, the artists attempt to uncover the physical detachtedness among people, inquiring further if the subordinative relationship between technology and human is reversing in the advancement of technology. Is it possible for humans to become homo digitalis that serves technology in the future?
