Reynir is a multidisciplinary artist based in North London. His practice often focuses on performance and its documentation as a way of exploring issues around the effects of visual mediation and manipulation in the digital era. His new work touches on anxieties around presence, surveillance and the solitary endeavour of staying connected and visible in the era of online social media. Despite Hutber’s preoccupation with digital technology, he remains enchanted by magic and illusion of the most sophisticated and simple kinds. The cultural construction of the young male poet/artist as a tragic visionary and romantic has been a key source of inspiration and, for his performance at Vantage 3, you are invited to ‘stare into his eyes’ via a faltering online video stream embedded on his blog (address listed below).
