The Fan May Not Be Replaced, You Just Don't Know What's in the Future

This Fan May Not Be Replaced You Just Don't Know The Future

Dina Kelberman

United States

2021

Performance

Medium-length

“The Fan Might Not Be Replaced, You Just Don’t Know What’s Next” is a live desktop performance featuring “a landscape of fascinating boredom” composed of videos found on YouTube. By opening and manipulating the videos in the browser in real time, the artist takes the audience on a virtual tour of one of YouTube’s obsessive subcultures. The choreographed playback and arrangement of the videos cleverly reveal that the videos in question are not just the obsession of a young documentary filmmaker, but an entire extended network made up of all kinds of people. Eventually, the videos become more than documentation and are used to construct mesmerizing visual collages and ambient sound baths. This range reveals the beauty of the mundane and suggests that we may not be as alone as we sometimes feel.

Dina Kelberman

Dina Kelberman is a multimedia artist based in Los Angeles, CA. Her work emerges from a tendency to meticulously collect and organize images from the common environment of everyday life - Google Image Search, YouTube, television, the internet. Her practice spans multiple media, including video, performance, code, and photography, but is almost always a perfectionist practice; setting limitations and seeing what is possible within them. Her uncannily meticulous work has been referred to as a "reverse Turing test" and an "elevation of the ugly and boring into the beautiful." Kelberman's work transcends the typical aesthetics of net-art while remaining firmly rooted in the world wide web.
