“Reflecting on capture” by Anna Wignell. The medium is reduced to its constituents, to parameters like updating frequency, resolution, format. The incoming camera images obtained in the gallery itself are being processed in real-time. By being produced by three spotlights projecting red, green and blue light, equivalent to the colour system RGB, the images are being reduced to a single colour, constituting a single medium of the original complexity. The existing audio is being captured by microphones. The captured sounds most dominant frequency range is discerned and played back as sinusiodal tones. The real tone and amplitude is being reproduced synchronizing with the shift of the image.

»Translation Piece« (2002) by Jonathan Monk consists of a documented series of successive translations of a description of Robert Barry’s immaterial Telepathic Piece (1969). What begins with Barry’s statement ‘During the exhibition I will try to communicate telepathically a work of art, the nature of which is a series of thoughts that are not applicable to language or image’ becomes, after passing through a number of commercial agencies, gibberish: ‘in this image the way of expression of reactions of the soul attempts to come close to a work of art’.
