It Takes 21 Days To Form A New Habit (2019)
A residency on Isthisit?
During my performance @successful_art_project, I am using mostly tools and methods which I found on Instagram and Youtube, this way experimenting with
the self-constructed internet spirituality.
While practicing positive thinking and gratitude feels rather easy and pleasant, I noticed that meditation was so far the tool that was hardest to use. That’s why
I believe that the non-interruptive nature of Instagram live-stream would be a great medium to try to implement mindfulness practice.
During the residency on Is this it?, for 21 days I tried to form a habit of practicing mindfulness while using guided meditations, created by my research
subjects - spiritual influencers.
This kind of daily practice was streamed live on my Instagram and afterwards uploaded on residency website ︎ ︎
Live-Streamed Values:
Clarity - Satisfaction - Harmony (2016)
with Justina JokūbaitytėIn 2001
György Gattyán (the wealthiest person in Hungary in 2014-2015) founded the website www.livejasmine.com providing adult content service based on streaming technology which today generates the greatest traffic among all adult content provider websites in the world, the number its visitors exceeding that of CNN's.
Based on LiveJasmins’ technology and using the benefits of video streaming, he created Oranum.com, a site providing online fortune-telling.
Both websites share stricklingly similarly looking web layout and economic model (based on constantly inviting visitors to the private chat).
While Oranum’s slogan is “Confused? We have clarity!” and it’s specializing on 24/7 online psychics services, LiveJasmin.com is an adult website providing live webcam performances, typically featuring nudity and sexual activity ranging from striptease and dirty talk to masturbation with sex toys.
Installation Live Streamed Values consists of 3 parts:
1. Clarity
Oranum.com psychics’ Guided answer to the question “What Will Happen To Mankind?”
2. Satisfaction (Let’s Go Private vol. 2)
Compilation of sound (live-streamed video) and text (user’s comments) in public LiveJasmin chatroom
3. Harmony
Documentation of HARMONY tattoo making process and it’s live-streaming through Periscope app.
Neither Agree Nor Disagree (2014)
During this performance I took various personality and similar tests in a few days period. I recorded this process and then made a video with all sincere answers and in this way exposed myself through this scientific/pseudo-scientific medium.
I AM EMOTIONAL (2020)
