Pressemeddelelse fra Uppsala Konsert & Kongress
THE AIR LOOM PROJECT is exploring the new technologies defining our future, as we are letting them trace, track and collect our identity. Transgressing into the personal realm of our inner thoughts, doubts and demons, the installation piece examines the relationship between perception and paranoia, the self and its mirror image, exhibition and voyeurism.
Inspired by a true story, The AIR LOOM is a largescale sound and video-installation consisting of a box screen, directional speakers and the voice of Blixa Bargeld, in the role of the Influence Machine itself.
Video artist Mark Holthusen has designed the system of see-through screens, as a box maze for the audience to walk around or enter, and the hauntingly beautiful flow of imagery, that along with David Coulter’s eerie score creates a slightly hypnotic
Artist Peder Bjurman, who’s behind the concept, has written a text evolving around the self as illusion, the sense of selling your soul and the new abstract and fictional world deeply affecting our perception of reality.
“The only way out is in”, as the Influence Machine tells us.
