2003, Hilchot Shchenim (Neighbors) In 2003 The Israeli Center for Digital Art has started an exhibition trilogy dealing with the concept of neighbors through the use of new-media art. For the first exhibition we used a famous Israeli children book called 'An apartment for rent' by Lea Goldberg. In the story the animals in an apartment building are looking for a new neighbor to move in after the mouse left. For the second exhibition which revolved around tactical media and the thin line between art and activism, we turned to the Greek mythology for narrative reference. We made a mix of the myth of the beautiful Siren with the enchanting voice and of the myth of Pereseus who used the Gorgon's head for a shield. The third poster uses, again, a children's story image: 'Eliezer and the Carrot'. The exhibitions deals with Globalization and it's influence on artistic work. collaboration with Mushon Zer -Aviv. |

2001-2003, TLV Posters Posters and flyers for the TLV club in Tel-Aviv. Right from the start two decisions where made: the first was that the graphic language will become an opposition to the norm of designing for the electronic music world (especially a rejection of the fractal/ vector language that seemed to dominate the scene at the time) in order to establish differentiation. The second was to combine all the party posters into a full series. Thus each poster and flyer where numbered. In the three seasons (2001 to 2003) about 85 posters where printed. Each poster and flyer had to be conceived in one day, and printed in the next one. This urgency polarized the pieces and made for an eclectic series. There's a gap between the amount of details invested in the flyers and their natural place - dumped in the street. The piece doesn't give up the complexity and keeps the tension between high and low, slow digestion and fast decline in the street. |
