Communication which pretends to say something, but does not. The substance seams meaningless and incomprehensible. The work interconnects abstract spam-mail texts with schizophasia, a disorganized speech characteristic of schizophrenia. In the psychotic disorder of schizophrenia, the ability to filter and process information is disturbed. Our brain normally acts as a filter for information from the senses, helping the brain pick out which nerve messages are important. A breakdown in this filter might lead to 'information overload' - and contribute to the confusion often experienced by schizophrenics. DUMP uses visual and auditive technics to build up a situation like it can be provoked by such a brain disfuntion. The text blocks used in the work are exlusively spam-mails, which in formal are rarely different from the speech of schizophasia. → download full project description (pdf in german) |
