Informer, 2015


A machine is a tool containing of one or more parts that uses energy to perform an intended action. The part or parts move according to mechanical laws: The behavior of physical bodies when subjected to forces.


But before I create the movement I have to imagine the machine and I have to inform the moving parts.


If I look at the objects around me as potential machines I have to ask myself; what does these machines want? And if it is I who inform these machines, what do I want and who informs me?


In my project Informer I have used the machine, as a tool and an idea, in order to investigate and understand existential phenomena.
