His unique blend of HD video, super-artificial CGI, staccatoed rhythms and lush, lyrical texts have established him as a standout among his generation, and the new video work offers a meditation on the relations between language and technology in the same complex visual rubric and disruptive audio-spatial construction that have won him critical acclaim. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRibbons\u201d plays on large-scale screens visible individually across three spaces but linked through one soundtrack. It\u2019s narrated by the recurring bald, blue-eyed proxy featured in many of Atkins\u2019 pieces; recast as a brute this time, he bears homemade tattoos on his arms, neck and face \u2013 the one on his forehead reads ever-varying abuses in mirrored letters. He\u2019s on a drinking binge, and at times we find him literally under the table. The word \u201cTroll\u201d inscribed on his shoulder gives some hint as to the destructive nature of his role, as he blurts out his rage in broken grammar. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Atkins\u2019 work is grounded in text, but it plays out in CG representations made possible with technology emulating the body in movement (for example RealFlow software for hair and liquid). In \u201cRibbons\u201d, Atkins\u2019 research on tissue tumours, cancer and metastasis takes his occupation with themes including love, death and desire to an uneasy new limit. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kunsthalle Zurich, Until May 11, 2014<br \/><\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kunsthallezurich.ch\/index.php?id=4\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>www.kunsthallezurich.ch<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>For more art in Zurich go to\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.zuerich.com\/en\/Visitor.html\" target=\"_blank\">www.zuerich.com<\/a>.
