Michael Klien
b. 1973, Austria
A sentimental entity on a patch of green grass. If the world doesn’t revolve around it at least it wobbles in its direction occasionally. A working mind spread across the fields of the social, the ordinary and the in-between. The lamp is equipped with the capabilities to gain knowledge, to build meaning and to express itself in a limited manner. It gathers information in Slattery’s pub and uses its light to communicate its findings. To fully perceive and engage with Slattery’s lamp is an exercise in trust.
