Neo Nor primarily works with digital techniques, such as video, animation, collage and video games. In their work, they use worldbuilding and create different narratives to explore dreamlike states and the blurred lines between imagination and reality. By drawing from the logic of video games, appropriating elements from pop culture and the internet, combining real-life photos and fictional animations and producing specific ambiental music they create worlds that seem escapist, but at the same time inescapable.

The composition in the work just chilling reminds us of art historical portraits, in which each attribute potentially carries a hidden symbolic meaning. The hybrid creature swaying in a gloomy landscape subtly invites us to explore the mysterious details, which are opening up new, more realistic dimensions of the work. Even though the protagonist is seeking solitude in nature, away from technology, we can associate the entire atmosphere and aesthetics of the work with the ambivalent feeling we get when playing video games or using the internet. In the limbo between nightmarish dread and a calming feeling of indifference, we seem to be trapped in a lucid dream, which we cannot wake up from.

Neo Nor is completing their studies in Video and New Media at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Ljubljana. So far, they have presented their work in a solo exhibition Dream Lord at DobraVaga, and Crime Scene at Kamera Gallery in Kino Šiška Centre for Urban Culture, as well as in several group exhibitions and festivals, such as Animateka, FeKK, and Lighting Guerrilla. They are also a part of the collectives Podmladek and Nimaš Izbire.

Neo Nor se v svoji umetniški praksi primarno ukvarja z digitalnimi tehnikami, kot so video, animacija, kolaž in videoigre. Pri svojem delu uporablja grajenje svetov in ustvarja različne narative, s katerimi raziskuje sanjska stanja ter zabrisane meje med domišljijskim svetom in resničnostjo. Z uporabo logike videoiger, apropriacijo elementov iz pop kulture in interneta, prepletanjem fotografij iz resničnega življenja in fiktivnih animacij ter ustvarjanjem specifične ambientalne glasbe ustvarja svetove, ki se zdijo eskapistični, a hkrati neizbežni.

Kompozicija v delu just chilling spominja na umetnostnozgodovinske portrete, pri katerih vsak atribut lahko potencialno nosi skriti simbolni pomen. Hibridno bitje, ki se ziblje v mračni pokrajini, nas subtilno vabi k raziskovanju skrivnostnih detajlov, ki odpirajo nove, bolj realistične plasti dela. Čeprav protagonist išče samoto v naravi, stran od tehnologije, lahko celotno vzdušje in estetiko dela povežemo z ambivalentnim občutkom, ki ga imamo ob igranju videoiger ali uporabi interneta. Zdi se namreč, da smo v primežu med grozo nočne more in pomirjujočim občutkom brezbrižnosti ujeti v lucidne sanje, iz katerih se ne moremo zbuditi.

Neo Nor trenutno zaključuje študij videa in novih medijev na Akademiji za likovno umetnost in oblikovanje v Ljubljani. Doslej je svoje delo predstavil na samostojni razstavi Dream Lord v galeriji DobraVaga in Crime Scene v galeriji Kamera v Centru urbane kulture Kino Šiška ter na več skupinskih razstavah in festivalih, kot so Animateka, FeKK in Svetlobna gverila. Je del v kolektivov Podmladek in Nimaš Izbire.
