The installation can be seen as an artistic research on the «drama of theory». It uses codes and conventions, whereby bending them, transforming them, deterritorializing them, spinning them around and stirring them up. A playful and nonetheless subversive game played on different media and interwoven concepts. It both shows the power and the fragility of codes, the risk of misuse and the chances of reinterpretation. The work highlights the potential of humor and imagination within the process of de-coding and re-contextualization. Even though the project itself thereby generates its own codes, the «sourcecode» to decrypt them is provided.
This analytical engine weaves boxes and cats, using yarn of violent rules and rules violation, of unauthorized humor and standard deviation, naughtily spinning a veil through which we see Galatea crumbling into dust.
