The Dream Machine (2016)

Machine / Installation

Arduino, Motors, handmade hammer and lightboxes

A useless loop of a hammer going back and forth between the two boxes. When the hammer reaches one side, the light on the other side turns on and so on. This installation/machine explores the themes of dreams, meditation, melancholia and uselessness.

"Becoming whatever is more revolutionary than any whatever-being.. Liberating spaces sets us free a hundred times more than any “liberated space”. More than putting any power into action, I enjoy the circulation of my potentialities. The politics of the whatever singularity lies in the offensive. In the circumstances, the moments and the places where we seize the circumstances, the moments and the places of such an anonymity, of a momentary halt in a state of simplicity, the opportunity to extract from all our forms the pure adequation to the presence, the opportunity, at last, to be here."
