The revolutionary availability of audio-visual material on the
internet (U-Tube etc) and the extensive possibilities to search through it
with the help of keywords, are the starting points for this new project.
Bogers: “Meanwhile I have started to build up my own collection, letting
myself be ruled by the search systems of the involved websites: introduced
keywords not only bring up direct results, but also offers alternatives which
are content-related. This way the searcher
comes from one thing to another, in an endless series of unsuspected
subjects. On each specific topic I try to gather at least 36 video’s. The
plan is to extend the collection and
to gradually put up all the material
in one spatial audiovisual installation”. Roughly
this installation will look as follows: |

Peter Bogers has received a grant from the Fonds BKVB / Netherlands
Foundation for visual arts, design and architecture to realise an audiovisual
work (provisional title: ‘Body
& Mind 70% H2O’) of which the audio part will be
on the edge of ‘sound’ and ‘music’. The spatial
composition will be based on electronic sounds. The work will be released
around August 2010. Have a look at
a
VIDEO (click here) which has been the source of
inspiration for the project but, as such, will not be used in the work. (recorded by Peter Bogers in a
sauna 10-2008) This has
lead to the following set-up: Every
falling drop triggers an electronic sound or has a traceable influence on the
electronic soundscape. |

Discovering
a hidden, obscure film can be attractive and exiting because of the supposed
unique character of it. Once only, and just because of that, special.
Internet opens up these hidden places and thus more or less weakens or
demystifies the former unparalleled experience. On the other hand, maybe
internet just changes the náture of the mystery: The astonishment of the
discovery that something exotic exists, shifts to the amazement that
something unexpected is not unique, that it exists in such large numbers.
Formerly invisible threads that connect us, suddenly show up through the
search machines on the internet. This
work is constructed out of personal and sometimes private content, but
nevertheless confronts us with the mass production of such audiovisual
material. The experience of a massive presence of individuality can trigger
feelings of definite beauty as well as tragedy. |
