Video and light installation execution: Elo Liiv
Concept: Elo Liiv, Eva Tallo
Humanity mistreats machines. This is a field where otherwise suppressed emotions are lived out. Parallel to the social norms of society, there exists a norm-free and violent reality related to machines.
The visitor to the exhibition is guided into a subconscious labyrinth, reaching an impossible end over and over again: uncontrolled violence, the quest for awareness, the cult of development, perverse attachment and mechaphilia, fear and self-ridicule, and the desire to unite and identify with the victim of violence they have created.
The installation evokes a sense of guilt mixed with spiritual torment. The empathy and suppressed anthropomorphization inherent in humans are directly attacked. Parallels are crossed and the viewer is forced to identify themselves.
Black box, endlessly running washing machine, behavioral patterns on social media, and the European Union directive on human violence against machines (fake).
