documenta 12.
We were shown footage of work from documenta 12. Most were installation heavy on physical compting applications exploring. I managed to find a video and read up a review on Imogen Stidworthy.
“i hate” (imogen stidworthy) II
“Imogen Stidworthy (born 1963) has a slickly technological investigation of language phenomena literally separating signifieds and signifiers with an enclosed area for sound and different screens for close-up mouth shots of the speakers, LED streams of their words, and phonetic text projections. The presentation was actually fresh and imaginative, but the issues, like so many of the dead artists in Documenta and the didactic tone of its curator, feel like they are from a bygone age.”

Hacking and breaking into existing circuits to commandeer them as part of an artistic practice.
