How Clouds are Formed | Aerial, Bergen
Electrical motor, installed objects & video
Installed as part of the durational symposium The Only lasting Truth is Change, 2021 convened by (BEK) Bergen Centre for Electronic Arts, Norway
- This work is presented through video and a set of mechanical actions, where an electric
motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. It’s an exercise in thinking about
processes that occur outside of us and how we can intervene in their happening by
observing, recording and measuring. It contemplates how certain movements and the things
that move them, occur or are interrupted and the alternative ways we can think about them.
- The installation presented in Bergen is assembled by Emilie Wright following Karuti´s
drawings, sketches, and instructions; produced by Jackie while developing another version of
this weather instrument in Nairobi. The two versions are not identical. The artwork then
becomes not the object, but the (mechanical) action that performs a senseless/impossible
task.
