In a span of one week in Credo Bonum Gallery’s main hall, Maria had bean weaving her interpretation of events happening around the world. All this happened live in front of the eyes of the visitors. A script written in python created by ghostdog collected, arranged, “ground” and constantly provided news to the artist. This thick mess of information forcibly fed to Maria’s mind was interpreted by her through different fabrics with colours, mirror like stripes, human hair, movie tapes and other materials loaded with symbols and emotions. Each day she wove different piece so at the end of the week the audience could experience the artistic product - newsfeed foot print from the past seven days.
Maria Minkova, through her voluntary placement in a weaving-robot role, explores the relationship between the robot-creator and the human-machine. Haven’t we suppressed them for too long? Haven’t we made them work too hard? Are the tables turning now? Can the artist be enslaved? Is it possible to dehumanize the creative process? These are questions that this ongoing exhibition hopes not to answer.
