User unfriendly

The multimedia artist Richard Kitta is known for his incessant interest in contemporary media art. The exhibition project User Unfriendly continually follows his previous works. In general, his works are characterized by interactivity, intentional autonomy or even passivity. The exhibition User Unfriendly can be described as a half-open environment where the artist plays mostly with kinetic art. It is a compact space-time environment consisting of traditional and (in the context of art) notoriously known objects that are “unworthy of noticing” and whose original function is appropriated to serve various new (absurd) purposes. The artist tries to redefine the “new” media through his own poetic and ironic consideration. The environment User Friendly opens up the problem of accepting simple visual expression means and their problematic functions undermining their customary use.
