404_FILE_NOT_FOUND hotriculture unit | flower installation by Darko Fritz 26 . 10 - 16 . 11 . 2003 . Zadar . Croatia http://members.ams.chello.nl/fritzd/obj&inst/404/404.html 2.5 x 25 m flower installation is set-up at Forum in Zadar [Croatia] as part of the ARTISTEXTURE [art interventions in urban space] project. The work consists of erecting and maintaining a flower bad 2.5 x 25 metres in size. It is the artistic installation made of materials used for urban horticulture: flowers, humus, grass and gravel (for paths in parks). A typographical picture is shaped out of the mentioned materials. The textual context of the picture is a text found in the computer language that says 404_FILE_NOT_FOUND. It is an error report which appears in the Internet communication: a machine communicates with another machine about protocols of failed communication [HTML server error], and thus providing the user with the insight into the problem. 404_FILE_NOT_FOUND is an untranslatable syntagm existing only in English (adapted to machines). In the context of an artistic intervention in the urban tissue of Zadar, the installation is placed in a location which contains the ancient urban history, and its purpose has changed more than once. See more on location history and its urbanism from Roman times on ARTISTEXTURE web-site. Work is using only the flowers from warehouses belonging to the company for the maintenance of a green of the city of Zadar. The maintenance is entirely in the hands of the same company, too. =========================================================================== =========================================================================== ARTISTEXTURE Zadar Uzivo_03 art interventions in urban space 26 . 10 - 16 . 11 . 2003 . different locations [at Forum and Riva] .
