GOB SQUAD (UK & Germany) Performance
Pixel to@st and tea!
Gob Squad is a group of artists who have been working collectively
with performance, installation and media since 1994. In
their performance/installation To@ster, the digital age
meets the low-tech sensibility of Gob Squad’s patented
To@ster technology.Large-scale images of famous/infamous
people are rendered using hundreds of slices of rare, medium
and burnt toast – each piece a pixel in a crunchy,
delicious mosaic. Some of the people who have been immortalised
in toast so far, are The Queen Mother, on the occasion of
her 100th birthday; Red Army Faction terrorist, Ulrike Meinhof;
and artist Joseph Beuys. For the pictoplasma conference
they will to@st a very special portrait…
During the creation of the image, the artists will host
a very polite debate on whether it is possible to capture
one’s personality in an image. Tea will be served.
