floppy disks

Disks are available in different sizes from 3.5" over 5 1.4" to 8". I use them very often to creat unique and outstanding art.

A question of speach

interactive Floppy disk sculpture by Dominik Jais

The interactive sculpture "A question of speach" shows how people react to a continuous low fidelity playback of recordings of famous speaches of the 20th century. They have the choice to passively listen to the recording, or take action to stop the playback. In order to stop the playback two people have to interact with the sculpture simultaneously. They must stand on the opposite sides closer than 50 cm to the sculpture. Once either leaves their position the playback continues.

 

Who the wind blows

Where the wind blows - floppy disk artwork about environmental pollution

Germany is advanced in wind power. We have those modern "wind mills" everywhere. AND: thats good. We can't rely on fosile fuels. Sooner or later oil and gas is gone. AND: what then?

 

Broken

The broken lines of energy supply. What will happen if the energy supply will break down? Will we kill each other for the sake of having energy? The photo was taken at the Ruhrgebiet

 

so white the paper

Single 3.5 floppy disk with Industry photo on it - secured by acryl glass

We want more all the time. More new smartphones, more new computers - BUT we never think about where the more new comes from. We are so detached from earth that we produce and consume 24/7/365. And what do we leave behind?: an uninhabitable planet we leaf for the next generations to clean up. Is this the way we should live our lives? Certainly not. We are not on this planet to cause its collapse.

The photo was taken in Finland.
