Plasma Vista
“Plasma Vista” allowed the artists to explore themes of economics, production, creativity and collaboration. Objects and devices become bodily and manipulative. The magician is a composed cartoon machine repeating tricks and equations. When products become prosthetics does the accessory take some emotional control? A creative trance. A collaborative force. A playful duplication of the self with greater consequence that first suspected. A filmic exhibit and retail site that morphed into an experimental piece of moving image occupying the dual space between utility and art.
