| #44 swing If a thing has a series of relations to the world, whereas an object implies that the performative aspects of this relation are removed, what happens to the performative aspects when they exist adrift from the object made thing. What is a swing without it's swing, what is the swinging without the swing. In this work and 'fan' I try to understand a little of the difference between the object and the thing. |
| #43 Fan Fan takes the idea of 'swing' and looks at it from the other end. Having some of the qualities of a fan but none of the relations with the world, what does that leave us with? And what is the function of the image of a non-functioning thing? |

A lightning flash is a moment akin to a photograph but this is video. With the nine screens each version is a quarter of a second slower than the version before, lowering the sound of the thunder by approximately a semi-tone. The sound begins like a peal of bells, except this would take 384 million years to ring the changes. It appears to be random, but by knowing the process the randomness disappears, as is the case with artistic intention where there is no randomness. Each apparent act of randomness is preceded by a decision.
The duration of the piece seems perhaps, to make it longer than infinity as it is an actual amount of time but it cannot possibly be imagined, and questions the idea of time as real.
