CCA
Project Gallery presented a new work by Melik Ohanian, who currently
lives and works in Paris.
In the SLOWMOTION space built for this exhibition, Ohanian invites
the viewers to produce through his pre-historical computing machine
different letters/words/signs on five lightning boards placed into
the gallery space, in the process where the viewers acts as a computer.
On the opening day the word SLAVE appears on the boards as a hypothetical
starting point and on the final day of the show the word VALSE operates
as a hypothetical ending point. During this time, the space would
be the place of countless small modifications free-performed by the
visitors.
The duration of the exhibition is recorded by a numerical transposition
of each act transferred on a pad by the visitors and this encoding
is used tore-produce all the signs into the book produced by CCA.
A potential collective poetry.
Melik Ohanian stayed at CCA Kitakyushu as Professor of Research Program
from the end of October to November, 2003.
