technology helps to fill, to bridge ... ...
to overcome the insufficiency emerging from absence
the
media are not only masks mappings models depicting or simulating reality
but also
measuring
chains constructing reality
a
mad acces to the world
raising and complicating the symbolic presence in
an interactive media, the work is realized/produced under the influence
of the observer
the
interactive work has no stable material form
it
changes continually
the
relation between the components -crafting image,words and sound-
is continously shifting
what
began with perspective _the relativization of the world by the location
of the observer_
the
electronic world tends to become a mere interface between inner observer
and objects
and
as intersection between observer and objects
the technical
world increasingly becomes the subject of artificial manipulationsby
all forms of absence, leave, separation, dissapearance, interruption, withdrawal
or loss
fragmentation
of modern life
they have never been a place of security and intimacy the house of antiquity was not a place of rustic comfort, but on the contrary a place for alienation and the stake of tragedy intimacy is something we project on "home" we do not dwell and never did therefore our nostalgia is a side-effect of our constant nomadizing in the big city of our transit ports, our transfer traffic, our constant leaving and travelling on we are doomed to an exile in the cosmos an
exile which reduces earth to a mere spaceship and matter to the carrier
of inmaterial information
