Read Only Memory

2004

scanning lasersystems 630-680nm (rot),
used one-way contact lenses (artist’s own)

The artist’s own used contactlenses are scanned by two moving lasersystems. The monochromatic light gets irritated by organic sedimentation and mechanic deformation of the lens. An abstract self-transforming but extremely precise pattern is projected.

The recorded memory saved on the lenses is read and restored in an abstract and poetic way.
The contact lens is altered in function and transformes from a prosthetic device to its opposite- a unique object with authentic optical and visual information, generated by the contact and interaction with the body.
