Harris Rosenblum explores the spiritual potential of contemporary alienation through post-industrial materials, networked intelligence, and machine-crafted forms.
A contributor to Do Not Research and founding partner of Transcendence Creative, his work blends theory, craft, and existential inquiry. Four new works from his Lovers series depict ancient double graves, composed of 40 stitched PLA plates with a metallic sheen that shifts with the viewer’s position.
Bacchus features imps modeled on motion-captured poses from Michael Jackson’s Thriller, presented on a hoof-legged table. Infinite Pain is a computer simulating the neural activity of a microscopic worm subjected to pain, prompting questions about machine consciousness.
Rosenblum’s art draws meaning from the overlooked infrastructure of modern life—burned CDs, torrent sites, mp3s, and manufactured materials—revealing how deeply love, loss, and transcendence are entangled with technology.
