Julius von Bismarck: Egocentric System / Art Basel 2015 / Interview

One of the highlights of Art Basel in Basel 2015 was German artist Julius von Bismarck's artwork ‘Egocentric System’ in the Unlimited sector of the fair. ‘Egocentric System’ is a live performance by Julius von Bismarck on a rotating paraboloid, spanning the entirety of the show. In this interview with the artist, Julius von Bismarck talks about how he got the idea for the work, how it feels “living” on such a rotating bowl for an extended period of time, the technical aspect of the piece, and his future plans with the work.
Julius von Bismarck is known for a work that spans the fields of art, science, and technology. Von Bismarck was born in 1983 in Breisach am Rhein, Germany. He has studied with Olafur Eliasson at the Institut für Raumexperimente. In 2008 he won the Golden Nica of the Prix Ars Electronica with his work “Image Fulgurator”. Following numerous exhibitions at internationally renowned locations, he became the first artist to receive the Prix Ars Electronica from the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). The artist lives and works in Berlin, Germany.

I'd like to see him stand on the edge and relieve himself, and after that maybe ruminate a little more on the great epiphanies it generates.
