ANALOG READY-MADE FOR DIGITAL REDEEM-AID
1 – 31 January 2010
STREAMING FESTIVAL
THE HAGUE

What happens if we resort to the dear, familiar objects of old in our current time of de-materialization and virtual living? What is the result if we set up narrations and investigations into pixel-mediated sceneries starting from our day-to-day interactions with ordinary things?
Marcel Duchamp took a questioning look to common items and turned them into ready-made pieces of art which have just revolutionized the way we think about art and possibly the way we do think about the world. In lighter, most diverse technical and poetical ways, all artists on show have chosen some daily and familiar articles as well, and put them at the centre of surprising actions where they undergo all sorts of unexpected utilizations and unpredictable fate.
Will this help us fill the gap with the physical world in our ever-growing addiction to the digital realm? And will this suggest any positive way to a balance with our space and belongings within, thus resolving our reality and identity in the most controversial and puzzled society we’re floating in?
Sometimes a solid hold seems to be well fitting and redeeming on behalf, and those videos have plenty on offer …
