Primal Object

Ρrimal Object is a work in progress.

The idea of the project stems from the following question: What could be the first object than man ever created?

This is a wall installation; a composition of objects coming from my childhood, steeped in my early life. I declare these objects The Primal Objects, the first objects that Man ever created.

Did I just make a satire of my own exploration?( or am I just reflecting the arbitrariness of our own history?)

In this project we  collaborate with Danaë Tzotzos

The creative process via software programming consists in the composition of a set of instructions. The composer of the instructions is the creator. The computer functions as executor. How, though, do the instructions “appear” in the mind of the creator? Behavioral science attributes human decisions to two thinking processes—Daniel Kahneman names them Systems 1 & 2*—which resemble software programs themselves. Can we infer then, that the creator functions as an executor of instructions as well—like a robot?…Robot: Systems 1 & 2 is a partial record of an initial interaction between two executors: the creator-“robot” and the computer—an interaction inspired by another robot: Dimosthenis’s Primal Object.
