One of the hundreds of images collected that I felt best merged the artist and the electronic medium was a digital photo submitted by Stephan Hausmeister of England. It depicts the computer screen of the artist with a faint reflection of him taking the picture. It seems to emulate the lack of physicality that one has in the information based site of e-mail.

Stephan Hausmeister is interested in the politics, logics and mechanics of pictures, the question why and how certain images enter our collective field of vision and others don’t. He finds ways of interrupting mass-media visual reality by publishing his work through a combination of live events such as temporary, targeted billboard displays, public art works and newspaper, magazine or internet publications.

An example of this combined format is his 3-day Walking Billboards performance at the opening of Documenta 11, Kassel, Germany in 2002. For this work Hausmeister re-edited and re-published imagery found in the mass media, displacing context and sequence and thus manipulating readings. The performances caught the attention of the press and media and images re-appeared in newspapers and magazines around the world. His intention was not to make a political statement, create an alternative reading or claim objectivity, but to expose the subjectivity of visual mass media and the transience of the systems and technologies by which it is transported.
