FuzzyGPS - music for what

Experiments are machines: not stable mechanisms that transfer, by means of their moveable parts, concentrated force; not closed boxes that transform inputs into outputs (henning schmidgen: repition and differences, psychophysiological time machines 1850-1865). Experiments are temporary limited installations, spatially circulating around the observer and the process itself being observed.
Mounted on a one meter diameter propeller, the GPS-receiver experiences an acceleration which ends in a constant speed of 418 m/s (approx. 1500 km/h). Nevertheless, the system indicates slight movement of up to 8 km/h speed and minimal position changes while friction due to centrifugal forces causes the (time) machine to changes its state.
GPS-Technology rasters the world in a time-critical and temporally grid. Within this system corporeality becomes unstable and counterfeits our perception of real world movements. Karl Marx famously stated that machines are "means for work" [Arbeitsmittel] serving to manipulate "work objects" [Arbeitsgegenstaende]. However, in this experiment, the Arbeitsmittel embodied as Bluetooth-GPS-Receiver manipulates the machine (angle grinder / flex) so far that the rotating object has to quit and slowly fade away.

This project "music for what" is third and last part of audio-triptychon-series (music for ...) concepted and realized by Gordan Savicic. All three projects has been kindly supported by Filip/Kirisits and took part of their workshops and exhibitions during 2005-2006 (speakers, steinhof, transit)

immerse the audio-triptychon:

> PART I: music for insects
> PART II: music for staircases
> PART III: music for what
