Video Installation, video fullhd (02:45min), 2022

Something is loading. That means you have to be patient and wait. Wait until the content is loaded. What do you think will be shown? Maybe the internet connection is too poor, maybe something is broken? Technology promises solutions, perhaps even relief from all our problems.

A never-ending loading symbol — nightmare or anticipation? In this installation, an endless loop of buffer symbols creates an ever-increasing anticipation of an application that will never start. It is an allusion to the promise of redemption through technology.

„We become what we behold. We shape our tools and thereafter our tools shape us.“ — J.M. Culkin (1967)
