Sergio concluded his PhD in Philosophy on 12 February 2021 with the defensio of his dissertation* Connection-Ship* at the Angewandte under the supervision of Univ.-Prof. Virgil Widrich.
Sergi@ Patrici@ is a time - based media artist (performance and video-installation), art researcher and creative persona. To talk about his work it becomes necessary to look at the fragile border between time/space and beholders; this is the spot where his particular artwork sets the goal to explore and create. The main questions of his practice revolve around the concept of time - either as waste, useless device or activator of the here and now. These nuances are framed in a diversity of actions involved in the body-space-time network, attracting and affecting multiple potentialities of real-time creation.
