"More World Material: Coyote" begins with the peculiar capacity of the cartoon character Wile E. Coyote:

the ability to generate simulations—like a painted tunnel on a wall that can, paradoxically, be entered. These simulated constructions not only challenge perception but seem to shape reality itself, redefining physical space and materiality.

Building on this narrative, Stocklosa explores the aesthetics and atmospheres of the virtual—forms generated under the conditions of technical performativity.

What lies at the ground surface of simulative gestures? What is beneath the picture—the dark side, the reverse, the hidden underside? It remains inseparable from the image, yet it resists revelation. It cannot be peeled away. (With a nod to Jean-Luc Nancy.)

The project navigates this threshold space, this membrane that stretches between the physical and the nonphysical, the human and the nonhuman. It is a gap that may be accessed—not through detachment, but through immersion. By constructing a “1:1 map of the world,” an all-encompassing simulation, "More World Material: Coyote" envisions a parallel universe: both a mirror and a mutation of the real.
