Aufmerksamkeitsungeziefer - Intervention with vibration motors
Project, Exhibition
Location: Observable at various meeting points near the festival area
The object itself looks like a big cockroach and consists of a small vibration motor, some electrical parts and a big battery. Many of these ”small animals“ (objects) are attached underneath various tables of restaurants, cafés, bars, etc. using double-faced adhesive tape. The „host of the parasite“, the table vibrates in pulsed form, similar to a cell phone ringing on the table. Maybe it is not possible to hear the malefactor, but you will be able to feel it with the hands on the table. The visitors are alarmed: „Is it my phone or yours?“ After a few rings the vermin rests for half an hour.
Aufmerksamkeitsungeziefer should reflect our relationship towards the mobile phone, the beloved celly. Similar to a fireman on stand duty, we wait for the signal to run to the fire truck. Everything in the world has to be done in order to take that call / to extinguish that fire. Partially bored from the conversation in real life, we wait for external communication stimulation. The ringing of the telephone, the short message, the short chat, consumed communication.
