Description
This work on lies and propaganda completes the “decor” of a Museum from the Soviet era that is nonetheless open to contemporary art. The almost constant real/virtual duality blends with that of solitude/multitude. The polar explorer, an isolated dummy in the Museum, can now dialogue with Internet users from all over the world in an uninterrupted chat. On the Museum walls, a northern light is synthesized in real time by sounds picked up in the rooms. During the opening, the public was invited to share an Antarctic made of marzipan and whipped cream.
