Cosmo Schueppel (he/him) is a German installation, sound and performance artist currently studying at Bauhaus University, Weimar.
In his artistic research, he works at the intersections between human and non-human perspectives in performative settings. With a focus on sound, he searches for the intersections of multi special perception and addresses them in reactive installations, participatory performances and scored perception exercises.
In the center of Schüppel’s artistic process lies the analysis of the human senses and how they relate to sense-making and imagination. The act of Deep Perceiving is used in participatory settings to dive into conditioned mechanism of the participants minds. In Deep Perceiving, participants can observe how their own sense- making processes are stimulated and how logical thinking influences (un)conscious sensing.
Working with the deeply subjective sense-making processes, is Schüppel’s way of accessing the preconditioned minds of himself and the participants, as well as the collective traumas of our society. Through these access point, his works deal with topics like environmental grief, multi-species (miss)communication and lost futures.
