Adam Smolek is a graduate of the Faculty of Fine Arts at the Brno University of Technology, in the Video Studio under the guidance of Martin Mazance and Jan Šrámek. In his work, he polemics over the definition of boundaries, both mental and material, in relation to the inner and outer world, through an intermedia approach. The basic building block of his work is the principle of feedback as a tool of reflection. He transforms and abstracts his experiences into a meta-level through their materialization.
For the performative output he uses an authorial instrument composed of four feedback circuits based on the archaic principle of video feedback. These circuits form the body and wings of a visual butterfly effect, which serves, with exaggeration, to lepidopterologically explore the morphology of graphic objectification of video feedbacks. Subtle variations in the settings of the feedback circuit parameters result in variations in the formation of the "wing" structures based on the graphical output of the tool.
