ARTPOOL EVENTS IN 2005

For the so-called experimentalist photographer (the functionary) it is effectively assertive that these base concepts: “picture”, “apparatus”, “program”, “information” - are the root problems, that he has to struggle with. We do need the Philosophy of Photography in order to bring the photographic practice into the surface of the consciousness, which is important because a model of freedom – if any – appears in this very practice, in a postindustrial context.

The Understanding of Freedom in the Correlation
of the Apparatus and the Functionary. [call] [invitation]

virtual MEmory house

for the searchability of Miklós Erdély’s life-work

Host of the evening:
Péter Fuchs

The main question to be discussed:

is the life-work and the spirit of Miklós Erdély still relevant?

if yes, why?
if no, why?

“The action of remembering becomes possible by the Spiral structure of ‘private’ time. In the mind the distance of temporal points is not determined lineally, but they are copied on each other and on the totality of future time by the memory. And everything what will happen in the future appears like new layers on the ‘happened’. Moving ‘forwards’ in time, the image of an event becomes less and less clear and strong what makes possible to register always new images without the disturbing effect of their equal value.” [invitation]
(from Miklós Erdély: Memory-model, 1978)

Presentation of the documentary web site of Miklós Erdély’s Life-work Exhibition (Műcsarnok, 1998)
