Title: URL: Slug: home Lang: English Save_as: index.html Tobias Raayoni Last // טוביאס רעיוני לאסט - Artist & Creator - Currently based in Ein Hod / עין הוד (IL) - Roaming the borderlands of art and technology, magic and engineering - Project Manager of the random journey adventure app [Randonautica]({filename}../blog/randonautica.md) My artistic practice spans various disciplines, including [live video performance]({filename}../blog/kiritanflux.md), installations, [ambient sound]({filename}../blog/crystal-canyons.md) work, and the creation of code and [electronic devices]({filename}../blog/psithemius.md). ----- PLACENESS & TECHNOMANCY At the core of my creative process has always been the exploration of the intricate interplay between "*placeness*" and "*temporality*." I use *place* as a fundamental agent to inform and shape the content and form of my work, usually by drawing upon the highly subjective concepts of *psychogeography* and the *spirit of place*. In recent years I have started to incorporate *magical thinking* into my work, especially the more technical pieces. Through earnest and rigorous research in fields like ancient Greco-Egyptian sorcery, modern Chaos Magic, and other questionable practices I explore the boundaries between the material and immaterial and allow my artistic practice to expand into the spiritual. CURATORSHIP & COLLABORATION Besides creating and performing art myself I love collaboration, discussion and exchange with other artists. It led me to co-founding and managing an [artist association]({filename}../blog/visualberlin.md), several festivals, and a popular [monthly artist talk series]({filename}../blog/scope.md).
