Concept
Apollo Poetics forms an experimental digital piece focused on the liminal poetics and in-betweeness of historical moments through space-transmitted dialogues between Earth and space terminals. In particular, the artist is interested on the mono no aware feeling; developing a sensitivity across ephemera and transience of things. Text, line and circle form the basic vocabulary to articulate strange romantic yet metamodern feeling; both personal and universal. Psarras elaborates on transmitted words and sounds, which form a melancholic data coming from the past. All start to take shape by soaring within the empty cosmic space and thus becoming a human-text matter derived from the past but looking towards the future.
