Installation views: Wail of silence, Galerie 1435mm Prague, 2017

A wooden club inside a vitrin is a center piece and an allegorie for the processes, accidents and associative mutations shown in the installation. (EA) is visualizing various borders between coincidence and control, mechanical and biological evolutions, unfolding an environment in associative relation to topics withing the fields of << evolutionary algorithm >>. A fitness landscape for my optimization problem. (EA) shows a processes evolving from amoebea-like module papers on the floor (remembering virus or bacteria illustrations) up to a series of five framed (Counter-frottages) showing figurative associations. The installation presents various ways and tryouts to deal with the relicts of (Counter-frotttages), as for example cut-out pieces in a golden frame, that is able to constantly change shape through gentle rotation produced by the visitors. Coco Incidence brings it all together. (Amoebenmilieu)>>.

To produce the key material for the installation, turned wood objects are used as tools, as kind of rotating paletts. They are painted with oilpastel colours while rotating to to a speed of 2700 rotations per min. The pastels heat up by the rapid turning and the contact the papersheets. Papers in various sizes are pushed onto the rotating objects. Teir surfaces rub off the colour, corresponding to the angle and pressure intensity of the performer on the machine.

This turns upside down the conventional process of frottage, in which an object is put under the paper and structure emerges through rubbing the surface with a drawing medium.

The setup for Wail of silence: A fitness landscape for my optimization problem. (EA) is a continuation of the installation
