In June I made a performance called Dataslav at the Dataslöjd Summer Exhibition. In an abandoned police reception, full of important papers and secret telephone lines, I sat with my Amiga to receive orders from the guests. They filled in a form, and I set a timer to 5-15 minutes, depending on the complexity of it. When the clock rang, I stopped working and gave the song away on a floppy disk.
The idea was to turn “artistic composing” into “hard labour” or, since I didn’t get paid, “slave labour”. Here is a recording of all the songs made. Also presented at this exhibition was Raquel Meyers’ Trevligt, Bra, Billigt and Geraldine Juárez’ Wealth Transfer.
