FRIDAY JANUARI 23 2004 – ITEM #629

Nico van Hoorn:
“The project consists of a half an hour daily walk looking for a piece of trash lying in the street. The trash may be of paper, plastic or metal, but it may never be bigger than 10 × 15 cm and it must be as flat as possible.
From the founded items I choose one item to be scanned and this item will be on view on internet.”

Dia-Exit 2

Steven Jouwersma:
“Dia-Exit is a machine that destroys personal photo slides one by one. When you press a button 2 things happen: the slide that you see is sucked up and lands into a shredding machine and a new slide is loaded into the projector. Because of curiosity for the next picture people tend to press again and again and so shredding the slides into small bits.”

Crushed cars #2, Tacoma 2004 44×62”

Chris Jordan:
“The immense scale of our consumption can appear desolate, macabre, oddly comical and ironic, and even darkly beautiful; for me its consistent feature is a staggering complexity. ”
