Significant action



The piece is composed of slices of knowledge - fragments of video made by 30 anonymous artists -
these segments are either original, collected, rearranged or stolen.
The only connective tissue between the fragments is an allusion to the abstract thematic: displacement.
The videos are displayed through a projection apparatus connected to a keyboard which the spectator
can use to trigger the different videos.

The spectator is invited to reflect on the message of the image, and is empowered with the option to build compositions out of images. This way communication is not solely a "discourse" it can also be a dialogue where exchanges
and interaction happen between participants to form new messages.
This participatory installation relates to concepts of Activation, Authorship and Community.
Activation when the spectator's experience may inspire him to act in other spheres of life.
Authorship in the way that the creator of the installation and the authors of the videos are surrendering the power they
may have as originators of the work - the author is less dominant in generating the meaning and messages of the work.
Community is seen in the cooperation that occurs in the collective elaboration of meaning.
