PLATO MACHINE 2009 Kinetic installation/ photographic space 4 membrane compressors, pc, IO board, 64 inflatable objects, two projectors, speakers, 50 wooden pinhole cameras In science the term black box is used to describe a system where the inner components or logic are not available for inspection. In my work black box is a performance space: the artist performs inside a black box, generating sounds that – via a pneumatic-electronic unit – create a movement in the space outside. At the same time the black box plays a function of a camera obscura, allowing these spatial sound processes to be recorded directly on a photographic sheet. Placed aside of the big Black Box multiplied small black boxes climbing up one of the walls of the gallery - the way cancerous metasteses or fungus would do. Each of them contains a negative, that collects the light falling through a pinhole to produce a long time documentation of the changes in space. Programming: Albert Blackmann |
