ME, MYSELF AND I
Art action, Radiospot

For the piece of work ME, MYSELF AND I I produced a conventional advertising spot which was broadcasted by the independent canal coloRadio for the time of the exhibition ON (PLEIN) AIR (01.06.2009 - 25.06.2009, Galerie [doppel de], Dresden). The spot advertised ring tones that visitors could receive for free on a cd when visiting the [doppel de] gallery. I applied spectral images, a self portrait and my signature to the ring tones and thus inscribed the music with an invisible and silent copyright.
Only experts can detect this artistic job and can open the sound files of the ring tones with an audio editor, that can depict the audio files as a spectral image. In ME, MYSELF AND I the mobile phone becomes a possible medium for audio art, that is countlessly copied every time MP3-files are forwarded. Thus I not only pick the economic handling of intellectual property and authorship in today’s society out as a central theme but also point out the copyright theme in times of the Web 2.0 and of the digital age.
