Every night at midnight in my local time-zone, a new headline is posted on the website – generic words of wisdom and advice that have been culled from a daily horoscope allegedly created in response to the date and time of my birth. Black text on a white background: each entry creates an intimate encounter with a sentence so general that it becomes endlessly relatable, holding potential meaning for every reader to identify. As the proverbs and guidelines offered by Recalculating Route change daily, there is no access to the previous sentences and no opportunity to take a glance at future ones. The title of the work emerges from the vocabulary of GPS device when calculating the route to a given destination.

Recalculating Route is the first part of the online trilogy, No Time for Nostalgia [dot] Now.

Design: Sam de Groot

Production: Thijs Gadiot, Harris Blondman

The space is dark.
One copy machine, one standard piece of paper, glow-in-the-dark paint and a brush.The lid of the copy machine is open and it’s going to stay that way for the duration of the event. A brushstroke is applied to one piece of paper, crossing it horizontally. The paint is wet. When the paper is placed on the machine it’s done without touching the scanning surface – a few millimeters above the glass so as not to leave a trace.Once the copy button is pressed, the scanning light briefly illuminates the space, and charging the glow-in-the-dark paint. A copy is made. Let’s call it: Copy no. 1. The original piece of paper is placed aside. It glows in the dark space.Now a glow-in-the-dark brushstroke is applied to Copy no. 1, which is then placed on the copy machine – without touching its scanning surface. A flash of light illuminates the space once more as the scan-charge-copy happens. The glowing Copy no. 1 is placed next to the original piece of paper.This repetitive process continues, as a sequence of drawings emerges. Each one depending on its predecessor. Each in its own fading countdown. The last copy remains with no glow-in-the-dark layer on it: the promise of an infinite process.

Neither the street lamp nor the sun are in full brightness. One is fading in and one is fading out. While on a beach walk in Israel at sun-set hour I noticed a street lamp turning on in parallel to the sun setting. I took a snapshot of this still life in motion – a full spectrum of colors, a daily shifting alteration between a natural phenomenon and an electronic light source.

Tuned precisely to follow the opening hours of the exhibition Cool Loneliness, this spatial sundial liberates me from regularly checking the hour. The mirror is positioned in such a way that at 2 p.m., the opening hour, a ray of sunlight that enters through the window is directed to the ceiling. During the following five hours, the projected sun beam traverses the living room space until precisely 7 p.m. – the closing hour – when it exits the space.

Catching (day) Light was made in a private residency in Paris: via a mirror placed on the floor, a ray of sunlight illuminates the light bulb until the ray moves away and the bulb is turned off again. While in the another space, applying the same trick, a ray of sunlight fills in the middle of the ceiling molding ornament for a short period of the day.

A garden solar light is placed where its solar panel can collect the maximum amount of full, direct sunlight. During the day, the solar panel converts sunlight into electricity and recharges the battery. The more sunlight it receives; the more power can be stored for the light to use at nighttime. Once night falls, a sensor turns the light on automatically. The solar lights in Ongoing Collection are placed in a glass showcase illuminated by daylight temperature fluorescent lamps. Here, night never falls and the collection never sees daylight. This artificial light does not operate merely to make the collection visible but to incessantly energize it and consequently prevent the lights from turning on. Every time the work is exhibited, a new and varied combination of the growing solar light collection is presented.
