SYNOPSIS

The video is the first attempt at computer animation by means of the interaction of the camera and the monitor. The graphic sign is constantly moving, the effects are changing with the interventions of the hand in front of the monitor. (source: Videodokument) The work approaches painting in geistzeit and offers it experimental dimension unreachable to classical painting. Unpredictability of the experiment changes political stance of the artist, for he does not control the whole process of work, but only sets the conditions and relations between the technique and the subject. By doing this he wishes to get the proof of the autonomy of the art work.
