LYRICAL BRUTALITY
Martin Netočný
The Heron is a film about the Stromovka park, however, it is perhaps more about us, people, and the different activities we may pursue in city parks. It shows inexplicitly to what extent people are influenced by parks and parks by people. What role do parks play in our contemporary society, in our everyday lives?
Tomáš Mašín
The structure of the Tamagotchi video is based on the alternation of simple animations and texts. The animations remind us of early video games or simple computer games. For the texts he used the Chicago typeface which was designed for Apple Computer and was used between 1984 and 1997 in the operating system user interface. Unlike the main stream of Czech video making in the mid- 1990s, mostly based on performative elements or artistic unusualness, Mašín´s approach is radically different not only in terms of aesthetics but also conception.

The 35m2 gallery presents two monumental works, two different environments. Both spaces are based on the same material context, the same material language. Yet each of these realizations appeals to different senses using different techniques and materials. These new spatial configurations, structures, and installations, which shape our spatial orientation and navigation through space, primarily appeal to our basic senses, our sensory memory, and our individual/private memory.
