Another Proposal for ( C ) lick Me – A manifestation about internet pornography

A series of paintings (digital print on canvas) showing screenshot-like images referring to the aesthetics of internet pornography. The erogenous zones are covered with the obligatory “stars” and “bars”. In order to see the hidden parts of the image the audience has to touch the image at these certain areas. Due to the thermochromic ink (temperature sensitive) the overprinted color a these points disappear and release/free the hidden part/s. After cooling down, the stars/bars appear again.

This piece also deals with the missing haptics (surface) in digital communication, as well as it explores the reaction of the audience. On the one hand, the audience is normally never allowed to touch an image or a painting, on the other hand, touching the described regions of the images exposes the mind of the user to the rest of the audience … Make it hot to see what’s beyond :-)
