Vuk Ćosić
ASCII Sculpture, 2009.
From the catalogue:
In 2001, Vuk Ćosić staged a solo show
at the Digital Artlab in Tel Aviv. On that
occasion, he realized the installation
ASCIImades – Sculptures, in which a
slideshow of ASCII images was projected
onto 30 cm high white sculptures in a dark
space. The images were nothing less than
pictures of the same sculptures, converted
into ASCII code. In his words, “nobody saw
that show”.
For the Pixxelpoint festival, Ćosić has
designed a miniaturized replica of the same
installation, using some small sculptures
he found in a vending machine in Seoul.
This diminutive installation is meant to be
observed by the viewer through a pinhole.
As usual, Ćosić is playing chess with
Duchamp, his “ideal father”, referencing
both the Boîte-en-valise and Étant donnés.
