I like good art, good arguments, and exploring possibilities of tech + the web. This is the stuff that makes me tick.
Hit "Random" to try me out.
Pipilotti Rist: Selbstlos im Lavabad (Selfless in the Bath of Lava), 1994 Selbstlos im Lavabad is comprised of a small video embedded in a hole on the floor. In the video, the artist swims nude in an incandescent lava bath and cries out “I am a worm and you are a flower!” This video was first exhibited in Basel, Switzerland in 1994. In a later exhibition in Zürich, Switzerland, the video was placed at the foot of a Madonna and Child sculpture emphasizing the religious notion of damnation as suggested by the video.
