ZONE I – Screenings ZONE II – Exhibition ZONE III – Workshop ZONE IV – Other
Crossing a pre-introductory environment ZONE II The voice has become space. Two speaker horns facing diagonally. Voice 2: A maverick machine ready to act. There are machines everywhere and not at all in the metaphorical meaning. Voice 1: Machinist machines with their couplings, with their connections. Voice 5: It works everywhere, sometimes continuously, sometimes with interruptions, it breathes, it warms, it embodies, it eats. Voice 1: Martha I said, what is this construction? Between the entrance/exit and the northwest wall. On a metal base stands the large machine, 2m high, 1.5m wide, representing the visual installation. It is open and closed at the same time. It has 11 mouths on its back that speak incessantly but are not heard. The voices find a passage through the visitor’s mouth to be heard inside his head, one by one, if visitor and machine get in contact, we mean physical. To the right of the machine, on the northeast wall. Α poster on the surface, electrical ink on the poster. Touch as a good conductor releases circular, archaic dialogue about descending. A forthcoming descending, maybe to the basement, or not. Voice 3: How am I to come, if thou take fright, who art wont to be my comfort when afraid? [Dante Alighieri, Divine Comedy] Voice 2: When I look better at the object observed. Voice 4: Let us try to examine in more detail the types of eye movement, which are needed to create the essential conditions for perception during the fixation of a stationary element. In the basement. Small creatures, autonomous and self-sufficient regenerate. The visual and acoustic form of the synthesis leaves no space for interferences or narrations. There I am surrounded and surrounding. Apart from my shadow others move on the fixed surfaces. Today I counted 33 and 1 dead. Voice 2: Look at it from a distance with one eye closed for about 1 hour. Voice 5: Perhaps the contemporary artist has reached a dead end. Refusing the tyranny of meaning. One progress and one delay. Self-referring works, ephemeral works. Meaning arises or not. The subject is in dispute. Voice 1: To let his temperament free to choose materials that stimulate it. Voice 4: I won’t leave you alone. Voice 1: Leave me alone. Voice 3: Anger leads me sometimes into slight language exaggerations – I can’t be sad about them. Voice 2: I have the impression that the whole language is a linguistic exaggeration. Voice 3: I get further and further away from the idealized perfection of the first idea. Voice 1: To let his temperament free to choose materials that stimulate it. CUT Voice 2: Now I see, I said, that Roithamer‘s life, his whole existence, was nothing more than the realization of the Cone. Every person has an idea that eventually kills him. An idea that comes to him and follows him and that eventually kills him slowly or quickly and always with greater intensity – annihilates him [Thomas Bernhard, Correction]. Voice 5: I know people only by their actions. In other respects, they are indistinguishable from each other. In the final analysis, we are differentiated only by our works [Guy Debord, Howls for Sade]. The voice says that this will stop one day. Voice 2: Fortunately, I don’t have a say in it. Placing the microphone in different positions releases the acoustic from the visual field. CUT
