P.I.S. Booklet

The P.I.S. booklet is the proposal "brochure" for the Büchsenhausen resdience program in Innsbruck, Austria. "P.I.S. – Sequence 1: The Shining", "Predatory Information Sequences – New Games New Players" is a joint operation together with Judith Fischer, writer from Vienna, Austria. The work during the residence meant to be a start for an exchange, an “artist talk”. As we have formulated: "The process of cooperative research as traveling into fact & fiction and the multitudes of distortions that happen in transference and narration. We leave traces; collect material and re-fabricate content into our own spatial scriptures. A productive liaison, constellations, haunted houses, odd protagonists, weird skills, awesome activities, short circuits, theories, collections of images, plagiarisms, night frost, the ghost of Fuji, ad: who is Johnny?" The shared interest in new phenomena and strategies for the acquisition and processing of knowledge is the basis for this cooperation, while the professional backgrounds of both artists is diverse. "P.I.S. – Sequence 1: The Shining", is a research with an uncertain goal. One might describe the output as transitory, fragmented and yet paradoxically, it can be considered as model. It used the film by Stanley Kubrick as concrete reference and point of departure for further research. The attention moves on complex paths of audio-visual perception of language and images, working its way through media sources such as books, films, videos, and websites. (Andrei Siclodi)
