Motion Interference (for Efficient Training)

Coralie Vogelaar
For the exhibition How To: The Politics and Aesthetics of Instructions at Garage Rotterdam, Coralie Vogelaar presents Motion Interference (for Efficient Training). In this new sculptural work, she combines elements of existing fitness equipment with handmade components to create a surrealist exercise apparatus, accompanied by graphic instruction manuals.Vogelaar examines how technology compels us to perform specific gestures, from scanning to swiping, and how these actions subtly embed themselves in our bodies, transforming us. By linking absurd, meaningless, and deconstructed movements from the technological world with the physical (im)possibilities of fitness equipment, she visualizes the boundary between human agency and mechanical compliance in a society governed by protocols and efficiency-driven thinking.Coralie is an interdisciplinary artist. Her work explores algorithmic systems in relation to embodied movement. Through performances and (audio-)visual installations, developed in collaboration with specialists in data analysis, choreography, and sound design, her practice functions as a laboratory for human-machine interaction. Vogelaar embraces friction, unpredictability, and absurdity to interrogate the systems that structure our lives. Her work has been shown at HeK Basel, ZKM | Karlsruhe, Veem House for Performance, Fotomuseum Winterthur, Kunstverein Kassel, and the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam. Her performance Emotion Recognition from an Algorithmic Point of View was included in The Most Iconic Works of 40 Years V2_ Lab for the Unstable Media. In 2021, she was nominated for the Prix de Rome.
