“Psych|OS - ” ~ 2006
In March 2002, Hans Bernhard, “loaded with 10 years of internet & tech [digital cocaine], mass media hacking, underground techno, hardcore [illegal] drugs, rock&roll lifestyle and net.art jet set…”, was admitted to a psychiatric hospital, diagnosed with bipolar affective disorder. The project Psych|OS (2005) explores this experience, and the overlap of the biological and digital spheres which caused it (and which was the cure).
The video Psych|OS features material filmed by the artist in hospital in a state of semi-consciousness, then rediscovered three years later in order to analyse the connection between mental illness and network disease, neuronal systems and operating systems, the human body and technology: the camera takes in bar codes, medicines, screens and IT icons, in a kind of post-digital flanerie.
