Rescrierea *au ralenti *a momentelor de maximă intensitate mediatică
reprezentată
de un flux de ştiri este miza instalaţiei "I am listening to what I am
saying". După difuzarea lor, cuvintele şi imaginile emise de canalele de
ştiri se videază de sens, se dematerializează, devin entităţi inutile,
deşeuri. Manipularea imaginii şi sunetului imprimă o stare de aparentă
prostraţie  personajelor, care evoluează într-un fel de zid fonic, aproape
palpabil, păstos. Odata cu etirarea sunetului, acesta rămâne interior
<< naraţiunii >>, dar devine simultan şi extradiegetic. Prezentatorii de
ştiri (re)devin (ne)automate umane, dobândind în acelaşi timp o aparenţă
spectrală, hieratică ... un aer hipnotic, angoasant, voodooesc.
Combativitatea originară a unui speaker este transfigurată într-un calm
cvasimistic, aproape contemplativ...

What is at stake in the installation "I am listening to what I am saying"
is the process of rewriting in slow-motion the most intense moments of the
news flux. After being broadcast, the words and the images of the news
programmes become empty, losing their sense, dematerializing themselves,
turning into a useless waste. The images and sounds are manipulated making
the characters appear as in a state of prostration, acting into a sort of a
pasty, almost palpable sonic wall. Once protracted,  the sound becomes
simultaneous and extradiegetic, although still remaining part of the
"narration". News anchors turn (again) into human (non)automata gaining at
the same time a spectral, hieratic appearance; all of them with a hypnotic,
tormented, voodoo-like air. The original combativeness of a speaker is
transfigured in a quasi-mystical, almost contemplative state of calm...

*ALERT studio este un proiect independent initiat de Raluca Ilaria
Demetrescu, Alina Buga si Catalin Burcea cu scopul de a crea o platforma de
cercetare  si promovare a productiei artistice contemporane. Asumandu-si
functia de spatiu laborator, Alert Studio propune o intalnire intre
artisti, idei, directii si discursuri din zone conceptuale si spatii
culturale diferite. Sunt importante si apreciate gandirea critica si
interogatia ca metode de cercetare a contextului cultural-artistic
contemporan.
ALERT studio functioneaza ca o galerie de proiect, conectand trei directii
de explorare artistica - PINK | RED | WHITE - intr-un singur spatiu. Insa
aceste coordonate nu inseamna indexare, restrictie si etichetare. Ele se
pot intersecta si nuanta, pot oricand dialoga si declansa dezbateri.

ALERT studio is an independent project initiated by Raluca Demetrescu Alina
Buga and Catalin Burcea in order to create a platform of research and
promotion of contemporary artistic production. Taking on the function of
alaboratory space, Studio Alert proposes a meeting between artists, ideas,
directions and speeches from different areas of conceptual and cultural
spaces. Critical thinking and interrogation are important and valued as
research methods in the contemporary cultural and artistic field.
ALERT studio stands as a gallery project, connecting three areas of
artistic exploration - PINK | RED | WHITE - into one space. But these
coordinates do not mean indexing, labeling and restriction. They may
intersect, combine in new shades, and may always communicate and trigger
debates.
