Video + Physical Installation
Premiere New Zealand Fringe Festival Event.
Wellington + Sydney video artists, musicians, sculptors, writers, actors Nicholas Kealey and Nicholas Frost are Mouths of Illusion.
Where much public art is conformist, cliquey and tendentious, we critique the character of Machine – the technological, consumerist, medial, cultural, spiritualist paradigms and propagandas of this culture. Cut-through soundbites – Mantras told by big-brother guru faces – soothe a world of minimum attention-span, instant body-soul gratification, conformism to utopian beliefs, need to be ‘liked’, want for continuous superficial happiness without its necessary opposites.
Big-scale video plus text, sculpture and sound deliver obsessive messaging. Sensory-emotive-intellectual lures deliver the ironies of hypnosis and alienation.
Gratify your transcendent wanting with hypnotic wise cool propagandist dystopian machine Mantra Therapy.
