Focuced Optimized Toolset • Interakive Installation/Videos • 2003

Video and 3—D-Animationen are formally united, to produce the impression of a „motionless moving picture“. The video pictures are thus slowed down by assembly, repetition etc., brought nearly to the stop. The monitor becomes the Frame of the picture. Nethertheless there are disturbances, references to the very data stream of both the video- and the animated 3d picture. The viewer has the option to view the work as a series of digital pictures, while at the same time the content and the frequence in which these pictures, animations and videos are presented, changes, using editing and time-manipulating technics, thus generating a tension between traditionel art reception and up-to-date datastream-reception. a black Monolith, in which a screen is let in, represents the emitter, which generates the „topic“, the content. It' s spatial demarcation refers to the polarity between the emitter system as independent programming unit and the work of the programming artists. Within the time framework of the exhibition six topics are generated „Focused Optimized Tootset“ is the first topic, which was generated in the phase of the draft. The emitter functiones as self-sufficient system and is completely uncontrollable after its initialization. It features the topic of the next relay the artists have to work on. Thus the work and the working process become a system, in which the artists represent the interface to the system of the viewer.
