Information Is Not an Abstract Concept

A large-scale project, carried out upon invitation from the Galeria A19 Marymont_metro_dla_sztuki (located inside the metro station Marymont/Warsaw/Poland). The title sentence is encoded in the form of a meander in 8 languages: Latin, Polish, Ukrainian, English, simplified Chinese, Arabic, Indonesian, Spanish. Pattern base - the so-called L-system named after Aristid Lindenmayer, a Hungarian biologist interested in, among others, mathematical modeling of biological phenomena - was modified with a four-letter code (the genetic code has the same number of characters). The meander is one of the oldest decorative motifs, present in art at least since the Neolithic period, and its mathematical incarnation, strangely enough, finds application in fields as distant as biology, AI and nanotechnology. Meander is therefore a material manifestation of the continuity of thought, a material and immaterial record of information, a hyperobject existing simultaneously in culture and civilization.

Metal Data Solid Culture / Funken Akademie

A course conducted by Paweł Janicki as part of FUNKEN Akademie. Contemporary culture strongly binds information with the technological medium through storage and distribution platforms. Information is thus mostly contained in an electronic context, which is by its nature always temporary and continually needs maintenance and renewal. Furthermore the technical infrastructure is often private property. Culture, however, cannot last and develop without information continuation. It needs the possibility of building new forms on existing information and the possibility of storing information for the future, without censorship, evaluation, tailoring to current conditions.

Concerto for TV Set and Diode for Voytek

This installation includes Wojciech Bruszewski’s famous 1973 film YYAA. A photodiode connected to a speaker has been installed in the monitor; the diode “reads” the pixels comprising the image on the screen, which are the source of the sound emitted by the speaker. In YYAA, Bruszewski’s screaming of open and closed vowel sounds controls the shifting lighting of the film set. This installation practically reverses that relationship, replacing the original audio with the sound of black and white pixels. The piece is reminiscent of Bruszewkski’s 1979 installation TV Chicken [Telewizyjna kura].
