Ongoing series of collected photographs from eBay.com depicting televisions for sale. To market the sets, the eBay sellers also used found images. In particular I enjoy the complex interactions of the 2-dimensional screen image, its display device as a 3-dimensional product/subject, a 4th dimensional surrounding environment, your computer browser screen (the 5th dimension), and so on.

The winner of the NoTube Contest is the participant who manages to find the most valueless video on YouTube. A video uploaded on YouTube is generally oriented to a large audience, has a simple narrative and can be easily categorized. A NoTube video, instead, fails in every promise and contradicts viewers’ expectations for a meaningful experience. A good NoTube video can not be summarized, does not offer any keyword for searching it, is not linked by any other web site, has not been discussed and can not be discussed. A good submission to the NoTube Contest makes it difficult to answer these three basic questions: 1) Why has this video been produced? 2) Why has this video been published? 3) Who should be interested in watching this video? The NoTube Contest does not award video makers. It is about exploiting the YouTube search engine and find, in its meanders, what was not supposed to be found. How close can we get to pure emptiness? Why are we producing and saving these messages? In an age obsessed with digital preservation, constantly growing databases, search engine optimization, unlimited encyclopedias, the NoTube Contest is here to investigate in the dark side of meaning […]

Video documentation, 8 min 26 sec, 2009 A 3 by 5 meters advertising billboard promoting the two of us is placed deep in the woods in north Wales. The billboard is placed in a spot where it can hardly be seen, like a tree falling in a forest with no one around to hear it fall. Placed in a surrounding where it is likely not to be seen by anyone evokes questions to its purpose of being there. Additionally, use of an appropriated advertising line ‘Nika Oblak & Primoz Novak – recommended by curators worldwide’ is a self ironic reference to marketing contemporary artists as brands. Video documentation, 31 min 15 sec, 2009 Going South is a fictional documentary based on an actual Guinness World Record. It presents stages of a fake, fabricated story about how the two of us achieve a world record by pushing wheelbarrows from Ljubljana to Sharjah for 14.500 km in 3 years and 12 days. The fictional documentary is a continuum of our exploration of media and capital driven society, exposing the media spectacle, and obsession with success and fame. It addresses the issues of global warming and environmental problems, however in a context of […]
