Out of the Box

The Midlife Crisis of the Digital Revolution

Exile, Vienna

Formal Structures
Patrick Fabian Panetta (DE)

When watching Patrick Panetta’s films, their simplicity seems as banal as it is disturbing and hypnotic. Filmed off the computer screen, Panetta’s retro-constructivist photoshop files are organized in layers and animated by pressing the arrow buttons on the keyboard. A blue square moves up, a purple circle moves towards another purple circle, a red triangle approaches a black rectangle. Each film’s soundtrack represents what the artist was listening to on the radio when filming the moving shapes.

Not Invented Here / Proudly Found Elsewhere
Fette Sans (DE)

When consuming Fette Sans pills, we expect solution, salvation, reaction, enlightenment, modification, relief, or at least a truly good high. Her pills, all individual and artisanally crafted from various kinds of digestible matter, disappoint and refuse any shift to reality.

Spiritual reality
Lou Cantor (DE)

Wenn wir mit den Chatbots von Lou Cantor sprechen, sprechen wir in eine akustische Leere, die dazu dient, die gesprochenen Geräusche in einem Aufnahmemikrofon zu isolieren. Das Mikrofon selbst wird durch eine Skulptur in Form eines humanoiden Mundes ersetzt. Wir erwarten eine Antwort, während wir Fragen oder Bedenken äußern, aber es wird keine Kommunikation zwischen uns und dem Mikrofonersatz des Chatbots geben.
