Kaart & kood IV
Kiwa
2019
The artwork contains a total of 300 plastic code cards and over 10,000 numbers, amounting to 65,000 distinct numerical values. Each number is a code. In the artist’s own words: “Sequences of numbers are like a secret language, a deep code—the skeleton of the universe upon which everything else is anchored. Returning to this primordial code is a poetics of reduction—a renunciation of the fireworks of shapes and colors, of fantasy and individual personality, or, alternatively, viewing these elements as mere consequences or forms of expression derived from that fundamental code.”
Teoses on kokku 300 plastikust koodikaarti ning üle 10 000 numbri, kokku 65 000 erinevat arvu. Iga number on kood. Kunstniku enda sõnul: “Numbrite jadad on nagu salakeel, süvakood, universumi skelett, millele kinnitub kõik ülejäänu. Tagasiminek sellele algkoodile on taandamise poeetika, kujundite ja värvide tulevärgist, fantaasiast ja isikupärast loobumine või nende vaatlemine algkoodi tagajärgede, väljendusvormina.”
