MW The fact that grains of sand, threads, polystyrene
pellets, keys, and plastic cups shift position and
become mixed was an important event for me.
When the exhibition ended, it had really just started
for me. If it had lasted for tw o years, other, unheard-of
shapes, interactions, questions, and fictions would
have evolved. During the exhibition run the sand had
become the chronicler of internal and external events.
The Web had equally grown both towards the inside
and towards the outside and would have kept doing
so as time went on. I think that the quality of each
of these w orks lies in their potential as organisms.
I have often wondered how an entity or an organism
needs to be designed so that it can survive. To put it
differently: I have often asked myself, "how to keep it
from going to pieces in outer space?". When venturing
bevond the protected areas of experimental arrangements,
do we take a first glimpse of what we call
reality? Is the other experiment, therefore, the one
conducted in so-called ideal conditions? How must
a work be structured so that it can develop, send out
signals, be accepted in one way or the other, absorb,
and radiate? I see these organisms - they are beings
that suddenly do very unexpected things and get rid
of rigid concepts. |
