In his most recent work, Sorry - Out of Order, Vadim Fiškin addresses the question of the “language” of art. He came up with the basic idea for the work eight years ago but decided not to release the concept until the use of advanced technologies in art had become a more common field of exploration with less of an aura-like association with electronic media.

Sorry - Out of Order is made up of randomly chosen pieces of electronic equipment, which the artist has placed in the Galerija Gregor Podnar in Ljubljana. In this way Fiškin raises questions about what is the essential aspect of a technology-based work of art. Is it the aesthetic of the technological equipment, or the way the equipment functions? Or is the work of art itself under interrogation?

Vadim Fiškin says: „In artworks that use “new technologies” these questions are inescapable. If you understand how the technology works, does that mean you understand the work itself? Or conversely, can you understand the artwork without understanding the technology involved? This leads to the more general question: Do we need to know the language of art  in order to read the artwork?"
