This short clip describes
the city as a complicated
tangle of circuits similar
to those in the appliances
all around us, such as
televisions and computers.
The circuits ensure
circulation of current and
smooth operation. In a real
city there are many circuits
and ´arteries´ conducting
water, gas, drainage,
and, most importantly,
electric current: a primary
necessity to mankind,
his porter of energy
and communication.
This difficult installation
conforms to that powerful
medium, forming the
aesthetic of every city
quarter and street,
vibrating in every corner
of every household - even
in our beds.Printed circuits
with different converters
and energy distribution
allow me to show a view
of city created with a
purely functional intent,
the aesthetic qualities of
which are unimportant
but nevertheless quite
remarkable. The use of
a real infrastructure, the
movement and authentic
sounds of people and
cars, gives one the
appearance of a routine
work day. Generator-P730
represents the mark of
a powerful influence
on society, a regulating
function as important as
the circulation of blood.
It appears above the city
instead of a sunset, a
noise hypnotizing the
people into obedience.
