Videoinstallation, performance in public space and documentation video
Helsinki and Museo Nellimarkka Alajärvi, Finland
The subject of this work is the merging of real and virtual spaces and the digitalization of artistic activity. Video works by international artists are shown on a large screen at Nellimarkka Museo Alajärvi, Finland and simultaneously on a small screen that the artists carry around the city of Helsinki like a (smartphone/tablet) prosthesis, the mirror armor symbolising viral duplication and the disappearance of the other behind digital self-reflection. While the videos have a similar format to the streaming platforms where many artists upload their videos, they can be viewed on the artists' bodies and interacted with at the same time. The intertwining of the physical and the digital worlds is questioned through the staging of encounters with passers-by.
