Demitrios Kargotis (b. 1982/London) and Dash Macdonald (b. 1983/Wendover-England), have been working in collaboration since graduating from the Royal College of Art. Through public performance, social experiment and intervention, their practice explores and exposes the effect of existing socio-political systems and institutional mechanisms. They currently teach at Coventry University within the Industrial Design and Visual Art departments and their work is exhibited internationally, most recently in Helsinki, Istanbul, Tokyo, Linz, Zurich, Zagreb, Gijon and London.

Johannes Gees action Salat won a Honorary Mention in the Hybrid Art category of the Prix Ars Electonica 2008.

In the summer of 2007, Gees sneaked automated speakers into famous church towers in various Swiss cities and in one mountain village. At the times of Islamic prayer the call of the muezzin could be heard. The context for this action is the heated debate in Switzerland that ensued after right-wing conservative politicians demanded the ban of minarets.

On show at the OK Center are photos, a video showing the reactions of passer-bys, legal letters from city administrations, that followed the action, and one of the speakers, shown in the snapshot, that always on the full hour plays the sound that was used in the action.

Final Project initial thoughts

Potential Title:

Tactile

• concept: The project questions the problems of alienation between the contemporary interactive digital medium and their users.
• Questions:
• Can people live without those interactive digital medium, such as phone, ipad, computer?
• When you are texting or calling someone, who are you talking to, your phone or the people on the other side?
• When you use iPad to play games or watch movies alone, why do you miss the feeling of doing it with a real person?
• When you post your idea on a forum, are you really in the discussion or just talking to yourself?
• When you are doing all the activities mentioned above, what do you feel? Do you have fun? Do you feel satisfied? Do you feel connected to the real world or just in your own imagination?

• Fact: No matter what you do, the reality is that you have no one in your physical world, but there are many in your virtual reality world.

We are wondering if it is some kind of alienation or tactile?
