Nature morte #3

Digital Installation 2000
Computer, electronics, monitor Ø ± 60 cm, wood, sound.

On a pedestal of app. 1.30m high is a video monitor. The image you see is a still live with a cup of coffee, an ashtray with a smoking cigarette, part of a lighter and a cigarette-case. These elements are on a table with a romantic print of flowers and leaves.
When a visitor approaches the work, the cup starts to tremble with a jingling sound, as if the visitor causes a small, local earthquake.
Here eddie d uses a kind of 'closed interactivity’ where the visitors unknowingly and unintentionally influences the unfolding of the work, however they cannot change the events or work itself.
It is a work in the series of digital installations in which d examines the still live as a concept, with video as medium.
