.Raw Esperanto

SHO(U)T, a new interactive installation by Vincent Elka, is the point of departure
for the exhibition. SHO(U)T reacts to the different emotional layers of the human voice, which results in an interaction between man and machine.
The verbal accumulation in the physical space can, in Elka’s words, be regarded as an emotional Esperanto, a language that everyone feels, speaks, and understands.

The installation resonates in a further selection of artists who examine the relationship to authority, how to deal with and react to it. The work Zalgiris by the young Lithuanian Ugnius Gelguda refers to a renowned pitched battle, and thus to one of the reference points in the nation’s memory. Gal Kinan uses the militaristic, patriarchal tradition of Israeli culture as its point of departure. The computer-controlled objects of Rob Zimmermann investigate the relationship
between technology and human nature, between mechanized action and the function of rituals as an organising framework. The brothers Simon and Tom Bloor have developed an oeuvre in which their interest in historical social radicals is the connecting theme.
