On-Line"
Interpol",
1996, Stockholm.
15 telephones,
15 mobile telephones, linking visitors and artists.
The main theme of the "INTERPOL"
group exhibition was communication. The proposition of this "on-line"
project was to make a link in between the visitor and the artist
(the latter usually not personally present in the exhibition space)
and realise communication as a concrete physical value. 15 telephones
were installed in the exhibition space during the show. The
location of each telephone was close to the work of each exhibition
participant. All through the show the artist participant was equipped
with a personal mobile telephone always connected to the exhibition
space. Thus the visitors to the exhibition had the possibility of
calling the artist of their choice by simply pressing a button on
the telephones installed in the exhibition space.
* Because of some technical and organisational
problems, the project only functioned for two days
