A Mutáns
The Mutant

Additional Informations

This video is part of the installation Létminimum Standard Projekt 1984 W (Subsistence Level Standard Project 1984 W) which is the first phase of work that the artist carried out within the IPUT (International Parallel Union of Telecommunications), an organization that the artist founded in 1968 in Hungary as an artistic approach (Source 1, website, C3; Source 2, website, Ludwig Mūzeum).

"1979-1984 – as a result of a heteroarchic transcendence of the Evolutionist and Creationist Myth Circles, in order to catalyze the Free Will Vestige, The Mutant, The Mutant Class, and The 24th Canton are realized." (Source, website, Acax)

"At the core of his work is the concept of the mutant, in regard to art, which is capable of a real change instead of merely adapting. In the first phase (Make a chair) of the Subsist.Ence Level St.Andard Project 1984 W (SLS 1984 W), which began in 1974, he set himself the aim to go beyond the “non-art as art” of Duchamp and George Brecht's concept of art (“non-art as art as as art as non- art “). This project has already carried the germs of the need for creating a new mutant class.
The next phase of SLS 1984 W is the work Mutant, which is realized in the “laboratory” of the ITU (International Telecommunication Union). “An artificial individual initiated / reprogrammed by the name of the new voluntarist combination of certain elements of the Creationist / Evolutionist Mythological Circle” (a young woman sitting on a chair attached to an amplifier with an infusion tube) is being exhibited at the Museum of Natural Science and Ethnography, Geneva. The “scientific / artistic legalization” of the mutant is filmed, and instant photographs are made during the process. K.D." (Source, website, Ludwig Múzeum)
