MAPS AND NETWORKS
initial ideas and inspirations
Over the past weeks I spend in tutorial viewing different artist work and discussing the topic of mapping and networking I gathered it can be a very broad subject; take Ian Sinclair who took a psychogeographer route; marking a small chunk of London inspecting and walking around its perimeter understanding the surrounding and environment to compare how it connected to the people living within the area. It wasn't until I was presented with Bruce Nauman's use of televisions within his work- knowing it had been used many time's before I didn't shy away from the idea. I wanted to use screens, regardless of it being a laptop/tv/monitor/- I wanted to look at the spread of information; how it becomes recycled therefore changed and re-edited through the use of different sources; misleading and fooling the man sitting in front of the screen. Below a sketch demo's the setup.
"Hear no evil-speak no evil-see no evil"
props:
-long table- pale white
- five televisions/monitors
- six actors
- baseball bat
- large white room
- projector
The projection, as it follows: Left to Right
All screens turn on.
Screen 1: a young girl
Screen 2: a police man
Screen 3: a journalist
Screen 4: a news editor
Screen 5: a news reporter
Starting from screen 1 the young girl looks distressed and whisper's something to the policeman in screen 2 the policeman later whispers to the journalist in screen 3 journalist takes a note and whispers the information to the new editor in screen 4 the new editor finally then whispers to screen 5 in the which the news reporter out loud and openly present the story (info). Mid way through the report the young girl in screen 1 begins to yell and deny the information the news reporter is giving to the listener.
FROM THIS POINT ONWARD- there can be two endings.

+ as havoc begins to arise between the TV's an elderly man ideally in a suit walks into frame carrying a baseball baton, he stands behind Screen 1 and smashes the television, therefore silencing the girl and preventing the truth and original source of information from being spread.
+ as havoc begins to arise between the TV's an elderly man runs into frame unplugging the sockets of Screen 2, Screen 3, Screen 4 and Screen 5. "who care's anyway?" he explains walking off shot, as the the young girl in Screen 1 suddenly comes to peace and quite.

Charles Atlas - Discount Body Parts. De Hallen Haarlem (2012)
Installation view of Andy Warhol: Motion Pictures at The Museum of Modern Art, 2010.
Currently on view at the MoMA is a tightly curated sampling of Warhol’s Screen Tests, shot between 1964 and 1966, as well as his films: Kiss, Sleep, Empire, Eat, and Blow Job. The show was conceived of in 2003 by MoMA curator Mary Lea Bandy and was exhibited as Andy Warhol: Screen Tests. After moving to Berlin’s KW Institute for Contemporary Art in 2004, the show traveled internationally for five years as facilitated by PS1 Director Klaus Biesenbach. All films have been transferred to video for the installation but there is still something archival—“filmic,” as Bisenbach says—about the footage.
