Through the course of his life media artist Quintus Glerum (b. 1995) has tried to get a better

understanding of himself by mirroring his image to that of machines. While our tools are created for a

specific purpose, we do not have the same luxury. Why do I act the way I do? What does it mean to

be human and why am I bothering myself with these questions? Getting strangled in endless streams of

recurring questions formed around human behavior caused him to create hypothetical situations that

both break down and reflect on his own sense of reality. By experimenting with different media that

range from technological installations to animated film Glerum tries to reflect on these questions, turning

them into narratives in the process. The systems that come out of this mirror not only the artist’s reflective

state towards himself, but also to the nature of his medium.
