[To Twist the Course of Signs] is a 3-channel video installation made from leaked surveillance footage, journalistic video captures, book images, and words.
The ancient hieroglyph of the “ka”, symbol of eternal wandering. A hand, the part of the body that has the function of making, receiving, or manipulating. Arms on the keyboard, as the gesture of controlling a machine; searching, sending, spying, moving, erasing, activating other machines.
An artificial satellite, central of information, connects with the hands on the keyboard, but also with a rotating sphere, clouds of vapor in movement that recall a crystal ball, or a moon, natural satellite that communicates with us magically through water, to bring us secret messages.
Repetition and circular motion translate into the casting of a spell, to twist the existing course of the flow of information, becoming the key to a secret code.
