Sisyphus Electronic<br />
Hair dryer, ball, wood, time relay. Ed. 3 + AP, 2007.<br />
As a way to illustrate the laws of gravity and force, a white ball is endlessly pushed up by a hairdryer, which is<br />
triggered by an electronic time relay. Its reference to the Sisyphus myth turns it into an allegory of the absurdity of<br />
the cycle of life.<br />

The visitor is invited to press a button. Soon after, a computer-generated image and voice appears and says:"<br />
There is no magic…. Just an electronic relay, projection, some light effects....and soap bubbles…" A special light<br />
switch on, and soap bubbles are slowly falling dawn.<br />

Moving Stars<br />
bulbs, hair driers, variable dimensions, 2006.<br />
The work “Moving Stars” transforms the exhibitionʼs place into a space landscape. From the ceiling, hairdryers and<br />
light bulbs, linked to one another, are hanging. They can be set in motion at the flip of a switch, whereby the hair<br />
drier pushes the illuminated lamps forward.<br />

Choose Your Day<br />
Armchair, buttons, reflectors, data projector, video player, audio, ventilator, hair dryer, 2005.<br />
Choose Your Day is a kind of science-fiction theatre depicting various atmospheric states. A number of devices,<br />
from a video projector to a lighting system, simulate different day and night scenes using sound, light and moving<br />
images.<br />
The installation Choose Your Day makes the visitors regents over meteorological phenomena, allowing them to<br />
control "weather conditions" comfortably from the sofa.<br />

Kaplegraf_Zero_G<br />
Kaplegraf_Zero_G Chart of the parabolic flight<br />
Drops of water, sound, microgravity, parabolic zero-gravity flight. Cosmonaut Training Center in Star City, 2003.<br />
A kaplegraf is a device that translates data from various sources into a language of "drops." The drops react with<br />
different rhythms and durations. In normal gravity, the kaplegraf translates a time-based substance (sound/voice)<br />
into a more substantial, but still ephemeral substance (drops of water). Under zero gravity conditions, the drops<br />
remain suspended.<br />

A Speedy Day<br />
Electronic clock, light, room construction. Light design: A. J. Weissbard, 2003.<br />
In the exhibition room, following the theory of relativity, an entire earth day (24 hours) is reduced to a total of 2.5<br />
minutes, which can also be the result of traveling through space at a velocity of slightly less than the speed of light.<br />

Lenticular screen, digital print, plexiglas, 37 x 29 cm, either single work or diptych (37 x 58 cm together), 120 x 90<br />
cm, diptych (120 x 180 cm together). Ed. of 3, 2002.<br />
“...Molecule is one of the large size twin-series of stereo images, deceive the eye by playing with the pictorial<br />
illusion of the artificially (and home-made) built 'real'. Fiškin uses domestic ready-mades, color chewing gum balls,<br />
straws and knot of wires, to build up structures that remind us on high-tech scientific presentations.”<br />
- Lívia Páldi.<br />

Snow_Show<br />

announces a personalized dedication to the one who pressed the button. The voice says: "This is dedicated to<br />
[name of visitor]." Right after the name is pronounced, a special light switches on, music plays, and artificial snow<br />
begins slowly to fall.<br />
