Eliška Jahelková

The subconscious is an unexplored territory from which everything manifests as it is. Digital landscapes are explored through various avatars in an exchange with memetic poetry and unfiltered posts of the inner self. Paintings reveal archetypal traits found in online content and network-spirituality communities. A poster on the wall binds the overarching themes of being a girl online, coming together to create a vast, suggestive stroke of what it means to find God in the algorithm. Curated by Martina Menegon with Brooklyn J. Pakathi at Georg Kargl PERMANENT The curator wrote : "In her hybridized formulations, unpacking ideas of internet overload and realities of alienation, Eliška Jahelková switches between painting, music, 3D generated art and regularly maintains a meme repository that stimulates her practice. In the video “LOVELOAD (extended)”, Jahelková’s avatar is trapped in a loop of captions, glitches, and memes. Viewers can’t help but find themselves caught in between a tension of hypnotic sound and a vivid landscape of digital moving images. “user_goes_to_malkut” and “EYES OF GOD” merge together, recontextualizing painting and meme aesthetics as a new religious ritual. Her work questions the essence and effect of the virtual, of the internet as a feeling and the online world as a mistic everything.
