In my artistic practice, I focus on exploring the transfer of meaning in performance art by comparing it to expressions through non-human vessels such as robotics and digital art, often in collaboration with AI. Here, I raise questions about the gender and identity of the programmer or producer, which in turn reflects in the final outcome of the artwork, prompting me to engage with these themes within my creative process.

Often, I‘m intrigued by the relationship and mirroring of unfulfilled desires or violence, which drives my investigation into intermediate movement patterns. 

These patterns serve as attempts at coherent communication between the intangible interface of movement, particularly between two bodies. While these movements cannot be replicated exactly by a human being, they can be easily replicated by a robot. However, the glitches and imperfections serves as placeholders for new interpretations and understandings.

In this context, I engage critically with social phenomena and the digital revolution, as well as with artistic paradigms and the role of the recipient in the current process of grappling with new technology in its still-claimed territory.

Silke Grabinger‘s artworks and concepts combine contemporary dance with performative art and robotics. Her particular focus is critical examination of social phenomena, artistic paradigms and the function and position of the audience.

She was first introduced to breakdancing in her youth, and as „B-Girl SILK“ and in various teams, she achieved success in numerous international competitions. After being a performer in the Cirque du Soleil production „LOVE“ in Las Vegas she created numerous solo and group works. After graduating with a bachelor‘s degree in raum&designstrategien, she was awarded the Austrian StatePrize for Design for a group exhibition. She completed her studies with a Master of Arts in time-based media.

In her contemporary artwork, she has surrendered herselft as a test subject for various choreographers and artists each for ten minutes. She developed a dance notation for musicians which is based on thearchitecture of the Austrian Cultural Forum in New York. She is currently developing a transfer of compositional models into moving art forms with the series „Compositional transfer inbodied“.

In 2021 she opened KLISCOPE, a former chapel, as a creative space for new experiments and visions.
