Apotrolepomena

 

Generator meets poster, computation meets participatory performance, Zepka's work is an exploration of writing in the wake of technoscientific excess.

"A brilliant phantasm of body, location, form(s) and language itself in flow and flux amidst a larger examination of what is writing, what is text, what is space and form (especially across social media)" - Jeremy Hight

"A shadow cast by Zepka's sprawling corpus, Apotrolomena dances ever at the edges of recognition. Sometimes poetry, sometimes performance, sometimes polemic, Zepka conjures the post-digital literary text, and it is an undulating monstrosity. No modest intervention in "new media," Zepka's work asserts space for being in a controlled world where human language is increasingly machine read, captured, organized, and simulated. Like hands reaching in desperate ecstasy to find even a fingerhold against the sucking abyss, the gesture is at once chaotic and unmistakably human." - Davin Heckman

"Out of ritualistic decay, haunted clusters hatchings circuits, siphons scrolls, streams, epistemologically stitched axioms of reeling precepts, Zepka's astonishing post conceptual apotrolempoemna maintains a "committed relationship with the media". A luxuriant celebration and critique of science and technology and the language of social networks, its contingent snapshots, recombinatory manifestos, essays and vispo provide a passionate interface of knowledge language power, meaning and the machine: Allegro'rhythms for a new age." - Adeena Karasick
