Between Saying and Doing is a video documenting an intervention
performance at Eva and Franco Mattes (http://www.
0100101110101101.org) Synthetic Performances exhibition in Second
Life on the 4th of April 2008. The aims of the Synthetic Performances
were to re-enact historical 20th century performances within virtual
environments effectively questioning physicality and being by
creating a conflict with performances traditionally perceived role.
Between Saying and Doing takes Eva and Franco Mattes work as its
starting point and relates it to the artist’s ideas appropriated from
Keith Arnatt (http://collection.britishcouncil.org/html/artist/
artist.aspx?id=18607) in performances entitled Trouser - Word Piece
(http://www.tate.org.uk/servlet/ViewWork?
cgroupid=999999961&workid=27275&searchid=10638&tabview=text).
Questioning the role of the artist, identity and being, Between
Saying and Doing considers in an ironic manner how new media as an
environment reconfigures the artists practice, simultaneously
expanding possibilities of expression and communication while
undermining existing value systems.
