Thomas Pausz

Thomas Pausz is a visual artist and speculative designer based in Reykjavík. He creates sculptural and conceptual works that explore post-human ethics, ecological inquiry, environmental storytelling, and the possibility of multispecies coexistence. Pausz’s installations often evoke hybrid worlds that exist between natural systems and human intervention. His ecological media practice creates “frictions” between life forms and technologies, probing the haunted intersections between biology, computation, and environmental ethics. 

In his work Double Capture, 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. Double Capture refers to the act of pollination, where the flower “captures” the pollinator, and vice versa.
