Content is the main output of production and consumption, the way of control and suppression. Information Conveyor is indifferent to which kind of content to produce.
The installation
We collected discarded household objects from the streets of Karlsruhe, painted them white and filled the gallery with them; a text was projected across this provisional field. What began with the problem of installing the paintings developed into _Tidy Room_, and the projection later became the video _About Content_.
Content is the main output of production and consumption, the way of control and suppression. For the machine of content circulation, it does not matter what kind of content to produce. Institutions involved in the circulation of content lose their independence and become a tool of enslavement. All economic and social activities are engaged in production, processing, and logistics of content. They are packaging carriages, sausages, wheat germ oil, music and privacy into the format of content. Content machine's aims are to leave its structure inconspicuous, filling this transparent frame by the content.
