Authenticity as consensual hallucination
"Just
pixels on screen, just ink on paper"
Foriginal Objects include:
Legal Documents [Court orders, Invoices, Birth certificates,
etc.], Pixelpaintings, Sculpture, Seals, Software Art [i.e. the Injunction Generator]
[F]original Definition: forged
original document; either forged or authentic document or forged
& authentic: A Foriginal is always original and unique.
Foriginals are pixels on screens or Substance on Material [i.e.
Ink on Paper].
[F]originals are non pragmatic - they are absurd.
They do not tell you wheter they are real or forged - there
is no original but also no fully forged / faked document. Foriginals
can be human or machine generated; Foriginals are digital or
analog;
[F]original is a sub category of "Legal Art".
BANKSTATEMENTGENERATOR
The core theme of this project is described in the slogan "just pixels on a screen - just ink on paper" and consolidated in the term "authenticity as consensual hallucination" (Inke Arns). The focus shifts from the authenticity in the time of analogue / technical reproduction (signature) towards authenticity in the time of informational reprogramability (automatically generated bank-statements).
