He creates sculptural and conceptual works that explore post-human ethics, ecological inquiry, environmental storytelling, and the possibility of multispecies coexistence. Pausz\u2019s installations often evoke hybrid worlds that exist between natural systems and human intervention. His ecological media practice creates \u201cfrictions\u201d between life forms and technologies, probing the haunted intersections between biology, computation, and environmental ethics.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">In his work<i> Double Capture<\/i>, he invites us into the intimate, sensuous choreography of pollination, not as a biological process alone, but as a relational, time-based performance between species. The greenhouse becomes a living instrument, attuned to the secret signals exchanged between flowers and their pollinators: the vibratory language of touch, color, scent, and invisible electromagnetic pulses. <span class=\"s2\"><i>Double Capture <\/i>refers to the act of pollination, where the flower &#8220;captures&#8221; the pollinator, and vice versa.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Sequences is an artist-run art festival held bi-annually in Reykjav\u00edk.The founders of Sequences are Kling &amp; Bang, the Living Art Museum and the Icelandic Art Center.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Follow Sequences on social media:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sequences_art_festival\"><strong>Instagram\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SequencesArtFestival\"><strong>Facebook\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-62568 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/nordichouse.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot-2025-10-02-at-10.09.05-640x253.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"253\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/nordichouse.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot-2025-10-02-at-10.09.05-640x253.png 640w, https:\/\/nordichouse.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot-2025-10-02-at-10.09.05-1220x482.png 1220w, https:\/\/nordichouse.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot-2025-10-02-at-10.09.05-768x304.png 768w, https:\/\/nordichouse.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot-2025-10-02-at-10.09.05-1536x607.png 1536w, https:\/\/nordichouse.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot-2025-10-02-at-10.09.05-2048x810.png 2048w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 640px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 640\/253;\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This hands-on and imaginative workshop invites participants to co-create and invent new rituals for pollinating plants and flowers in Icelandic greenhouses \u2014 collaborating with or embodying pollinators.
