Landscapes, passing buildings seen from a car, gardens and a cemetery, many computer processed images. And many words, very many words. On a female figure cut out of a newspaper article, or rolling by on the screen, or as a voice-over, or all of these together. The title refers to the speed with which information is transported in our nervous system and to how our brains work like computers. The makers want to investigate the limits of our spiritual observation capabilities. This production, originally developed as an installation, is the result of a four year cooperation between the media artist Rogala and the media and performance artist Scheemann. Rogala is concerned with the duality nature-technique and with interactive technology. In her work, Scheemann investigates language from the feministic semiotic. The artists have attempted to develop a communal image language. Considering their backgrounds it is not surprising that a video results which considers antitheses such as nature-technique and organic-abstract. They pile up the meanings of words, images and sounds in layers on top of each other. It is not easy to pick up this secret language in ten minutes, when it was worked on by Rogala and Scheemann for four years. It might have been more accessible as an installation, but as a video it remains a rather hermetic work of art.
