Pieces and Love All to Hell

Pieces and Love All to Hell

2011 • 60 min
"Flag as inapproriate". This unconspicuous button with a flag icon appears underneath every single YouTube video we watch marking the limits of our freedom in the Internet. Once flagged by anonymous users, after being checked by the also anonymous YouTube team, a video quickly disappears forever. In exactly this process, Dominic Gagnon intervenes. He 'saves' the flagged videos before they are deleted and adds them to a dark and mythological collage of American survivalism. People have their say, who deeply mistrust the government, who warn their fellow citizens, and who arm themselves visibly. An unclear image emerges. While the protagonists are scared of the almighty American government, the viewer is irritated what to find the most threatening in this "hell": the United States of America, the critics armed to the teeth with conspiracy theories, or the anonymous censorship power of the companies which control the web.

Luminous Greenhouse

2011 • 3 min
Documentation of a digital video sculpture from the artist's "De Luce [On Light]" series. materials: digital video of indeterminate duration, a 7-inch video screen, re-purposed plastic, 12" x 12" x 12." Light-struck film emulsion and unruly forces of nature intermingle in a diminutive replica of a greenhouse reminiscent of a child's dollhouse. Unfamiliar color and light sweep into and literally illuminate vegetative subjects to supply visible evidence of a surreptitious conspiracy between the artist, her materials, and photochemical occurrences. The digital video loops endlessly like events in the natural world even while they are contained in a structure designed for human dominance over Mother Nature.

On the Road by Jack Kerouac

On the Road by Jack Kerouac

2011 • 14 min • Colombia, Mexico
If Jack Kerouac wrote his legendary novel On the Road on a long paper scroll, why not do it on a long 35mm film roll as well? By re-typing the complete book –with the use of 35mm black leader instead of paper on a typewriter– this project attempts, among other things, to convert Kerouac’s romantic rhythmic writing method onto a cold and mechanical transcription in order to give the work new possibilities and readings that, when projected at 24 frames a second, although they do emphasize Kerouac’s intentions of immediacy, they transform the text into illegible blotches of letters that demystify and question language at its most elemental levels.

Strikes at Time

Strikes at Time

2011 • 19 min
Strikes at Time is a lucid dream, readings from a journal kept by a factory worker read by a group of proletarian writers, as we take a long walk into the discontinuous illumination at the edge of the city at night. In that no man’s land annexed by the awakening mind from the fatigue of the labouring day, the work weaves together a disquisition on time in the form of a discreet annotation on the philosopher Jacques Rancière’s The Nights of Labour, together with renditions of the found text of a worker’s diary by the CyberMohalla Ensemble, a group of unorthodox proletarian urbanists that Raqs has been in dialogue with over a decade. The shadowy presence of a Yaksha and Yakshi—guardians of wealth in Indic mythologies—stands watching over the work, marking time with questions.
