Formally, the video \u201eFetish Finger\u201c is read as if scrolling down a webpage. The video clips are not alined horizontally, but vertically. The narrative takes place from top to bottom.

\nThe fusion of the net and real life has increased to such a degree that a distinction has almost become obsolete, the techniques of the \u201cvirtual\u201c gain in social and cultural importance. \u201eSlippery Copies\u201c addresses the variable dimensionality of the digital and the resulting possibilities of dealing with entirely new contexts of meaning. Approaching the phenomena from different angles and views, the exhibitions includes a selection of my recent works and new works derived from my current research into the relationship between the body and its technologically-mediated environment.
\nThe structure of the exhibition is based on our movement in the net. Here the paths, topics and thoughts jump from one link to the next. The selection of the assembled works takes up the world of side-by-side tabs and endless links in the flow of visual associations.<\/p>\n
\nAltogether twenty experimental video clips can be seen, that deal with the complexity of haptic perception in the context of screen based digital media.
\nThrough digitization and the associated dematerialization of objects, the longing for haptic perception often increases. The moving images are associatively concerned with contact at the interface between the physical and the virtual, activeness and passiveness.
\nIn addition to images of gestures and actions, 3D animations and photographs, video clips of so called “Food Diaries” are included in the work, in which the daily diet of various individuals is filmed and then uploaded to Youtube.<\/p>\n
\nAlongside the video installation, photographs and text works can be seen.
\nThe photographs examine the \u201estuff\u201c of dough, as a living material that is never static, but is constantly changing and growing. Only by the action of mechanical energy the mixture of flour and water form the dough. This very physical process was then subjected to digital image processing tools. Further the dough motif was distorted, kneaded and shaped by virtual actions.
\nThe texts such as \u201cSmell like cheese but look real” and other selected quotations are sampled from the buyer reviews of an replica object purchased online. The comments describe handling, satisfaction and materiality of the simulated product.
\nThe fabrics containing the quotations are presented between two acrylic sheet; the resultant folding and flattening emphasizes various readings of the text and highlights the \u201eslipperiness\u201c of meaning and interpretation.<\/p>\n
