To Infinity \u2013 and Beyond! Buzz Lightyear abused my iPhone to post this pic of \u017dilvinas Kempinas' 'White Noise'<\/p><\/div>\n

The transmediale.10 exhibition Future Obscura<\/em><\/strong> [1] <\/a>\u2013\u00a0curated by Honor Hager \u2013\u00a0 presented artworks that use the materials, mechanisms and machines of image-making to illuminate and define our relationship with atemporality \u2013 the collision of past, present and future.<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of my favorites artworks in this exhibition was a quite simple, but aesthetically very effective installation by \u017dilvinas Kempinas, born 1969 in Lithuania who lives and works now in New York. [2]<\/a> He uses unspooled videotape and electric fans to conjure transfixing visual conundrums such as Flying Tape<\/em> (2004), which levitated a room-size loop of video tape on the air currents from a circle of fans; and White Noise<\/em> (2007), which recreated a monumental kinetic screen of “wei\u00dfem Rauschen” \u00a0on the gallery wall. [3]<\/a><\/p>\n

In the FUTURITY NOW! context it is the work’s stunning force of attraction \u2013 cleverly arranged as the single work in a separate room at the HKW \u2013 that appealed to me the most\u00a0 and lured me to getting absorbed by the infinitely buzzing environment.<\/p>\n

Quite similar to Dr. David Bowman’s voyage through the 2001 \u2013\u00a0A Space Odysse’s “<\/em>Star Gate” you are encountering the vertigo of the racing at great speed across vast distances of space aware to dive into eternity. It’s my second personal reminiscence [4]<\/a> to Stanley Kubrick’s groundbreaking moving picture in the transmediale.10 context and it says\u00a0 a lot\u00a0 about Future Obscura’s<\/em> definition of atemporality: 2001 defined an image of the future which won’t disappear into the white noise.<\/p>\n
