Linda Dement In Serial On Track 2009
The collaborative group In Serial; Linda Dement, Petra Gemeinboeck, PRINZGAU/podgorschek and Marion Tränkle, formed through the eMobilArt workshop programme 2008 - 2009.
On Track is a performative installation involving a pendulous mechanical system, trapped robotic brushes and spilling viscous fluids. The work looks at human endeavour, its overly complicated mechanisms and procedures, and their vulnerability to a slipperiness already built in. Systems; one mechanic-repetitive, another one robotic-agitated, a viscous liquid, and an abrupt precipice, interact and interfere with one another. A disaster-prone scenario unfolds as the protagonists, apparently set to clean, spill, interrupt and hinder each other, creating an ever more slippery mess in intricately choreographed ways.
