The Lost Men Project (Grahamstown) , 2004. Digital program, touch screen, headphones, pedestal. Dimensions variable. Edition 3 Navigating the Bookscape: Artists’ Books and the Digital Interface , Aardklop Arts Festival, Potchefstroom, South Africa, 25 – 30 September 2006 Curator David Paton invited five artists to produce a work for a show of traditional and contemporary ‘artists books’ to “... open up questions around what the digital interface can bring to the conventions of the codex.” – (Robyn Sassen). The exhibition featured an interactive work, The Lost Men Project (Grahamstown) (2006) – a digital program running on a computer concealed within a custom-designed pedestal supporting a touch sensitive monitor and headphones. A soundtrack entices the viewer to touch the screen depicting a photographic close-up of the artist’s skin bruised with embossed names. Each successive touch induces a change of image as the names slowly disappear. Related content Counter-memorial ‘The Lost Men Grahamstown’, 1 – 10 July 2004 ←Previous Next→
