UNTERMARIONETTE
Erik Alalooga, Estonia

Operating with self-made analogue technological devices, the performance takes a critical stance towards technological progress, the marketing success model and the stereotypes dominating human-machine relations. The mainstream technological narrative presupposes that the machine gives a competitive advantage to its user. There is a constant race to gain an advantage through better technology. Machines of inferior quality, crafted by DIY, voluntarily step aside from this race. Machines, whose technical principle has long since fulfilled its role in progress, have meaning and function only in the context of a specific work of art. The world-king owners of technological giant corporations have no influence here.
