| THE BOX Video installation, 6.20 min - loop, 2005 Computer programming by Rado Miklavcic The Box is a video installation composed of a rubber box, an LCD monitor, and a pneumatic mechanism. The mechanism is placed inside the rubber box. It is manipulated by a computer program and synchronized with a prerecorded video. The video on the screen shows the two of us trapped inside the box, trying to escape to the outside. The main focus of the installation is detachment, the possibility to exist outside prevailing systems. Our attempt to escape is a reference to an escape from an all encompassing media world as well as an escape from the white cube. On one hand the possibility to detach oneself from today's media and information network has become a pure privilege, which not everyone is able to afford. And as far as contemporary art network is concerned, detachment from its reference institutions, as its critique, means an ultimate isolation of the author. Technical requirements: PC, LCD monitor, specially designed software, pneumatic mechanism, compressor, rubber box |
