(NL) Deze video’s maken deel uit van de grotere kunst installatie Remains Of Today. Remians Of Today is een serie van 100 communicerende kunstwerken. Muzikant en producer Ali Reza Tahoeni (A.R.T.) heeft soundtracks gemaakt bij elk individueel kunstwerk. Zoals Ali reageerde op mijn werk, reageer ik weer op zijn muziek met mijn videoart wat correspondeert met zowel het ritme van de muziek als met de filosofische bespiegelingen van het originele kunstwerk.

Music by A.R.T. Artwork & video concept & editing by M.A.O.Each separate artwork goes with a small story, philosophical reflection written by M.A.O.
The story of Creatism is as follows:Number one and part of the Remains Of Today series.These random placed characters are spelling the words Create and Art. Those two words are important to me. To create is to exist and to leave traces of your presence. Men create and men destroy. Destruction is a negative while creating is a positive. Creating art is a superlative in creation as such. According to some, is the highest form of create-ism, or should I say creationism, in the hands of an almighty God. According to me, God means incomprehensible nature. Create-ism all included.

The story of Oooh Well is as follows: Oooh Well is a small slightly humoristic artwork that spells the words Oooh – well, Oooh God, Oooh no, Oooh yes. The shout, Oooh is an artful shape in itself. Images speak louder than words. But what if a word becomes an image?

No 3 is Gibberish, The music composed and made by A.R.T. and the artwork & video concept & editing is done by M.A.O. 2020. Each separate artwork goes with a small story, philosophic reflection written by M.A.O. The story of Gibberish is as follows: Gibberish means as much as plain nonsense. I think it is a nice word that covers the meaning of the word well. The term fake-news is gaining popularity since Donald Trump entered the White House. Every unwanted and unsuited fact presented to this politician is put aside and gets classed as fake news, read gibberish. This wakes suspicion at the gullible follower. To be followed up with all the familiar consequences. In this case I randomly placed characters, vowels and consonants, and somehow they seem to make sense. Behold the strange invulnerable way of how our mind works. Language is really nothing more than an agreement. If we agree to grant value to a group of characters, it has value. Kuwayt Rad 24/7. What would you make of these characters?? I think it is gibberish.

In the video I added a feminine layer to the story. Great women made big differences in the past and will do so in the future. I think the world is ready for a more female approach to things as the mighty men made kind of a mess of it.

About this video: Since I have been face to face with these beautiful sea creatures they stole my heart. My perception on sea life was never the same after the first encounters. The underwater world is enchanting. I am stuck with a deep love for the big blue. But deep sadness is what I feel when it comes to the massive destruction we bring upon it. This is why I’d like to share this beauty (and one of it’s threats) with you!
Each separate artwork from the Remains Of Today series goes with a small story, a philosophical reflection or a comment on current affairs and contemporary events.
The story of To Avoid A Void goes as follows;
This readymade is taken from a plastic protection sheet or bag. I can’t recall the content or use of it. Many of these bags and wrappings end up in our streets, waters and eventually in our seas and I do not mean seas of time. The original product hosted by this sheet or bag came probably all the way from China. I presume this, excuse my stereotyping, because the Chinese companies often send products accompanied with so called English warning notes. These notes are freely translated into Chinglish, filled with harmless and cute mistakes. When it comes to these lines on this piece, the message seems clear: Avoid a void!
