welcome human, 1998, D.N.K., Kunsthaus Tacheles Berlin

In the middle of the entrance of the exhibition “Implosion” a pedestal was placed with a computer monitor on top. Every visitor who wanted to visit the exhibition had to pass by it. On the monitor the visitor could read the text: “welcome human” and hear a synthetic sound with the same words. In this exhibition of eight FILOART groups there was no artist, curator or anybody else to host the guests – the computer was the only one who welcomed visitors.
