NEU PNEUMATIK! ! is the inaugural project of collaborative group HommAges and initially took the form of a site specific installation with a series of live performances, magazine publication and website. Following the group’s central objectives Neu Pneumatik! investigates the critical status of fetishism and desire in relation to commodity consumption, through the lens of emerging digital fabrication technology and its incremental colonisation of the concrete world. Through a combination of costume/object design, actionism, magazine publication, audio and video this project seeks to embody the spectrum between dissolving anthropological agencies and the autonomous delinquency of objects. Specifically, we explore the radical potential offered by an enormous growth in customised, industrially produced commodities and artefacts, both in relation to desire and ontological agency. Through a ritual of staged presentations, we seek to extend the borders of the self into increasing numbers of object spheres.
