Weight & Velocity (Cat on Router)
2014 - Photography (Photography)
50 x 38 cm
Gabriel Pericas
“Weight & velocity (cat on router)” is a duo of two humorous photographs of a cat lying on a computer router. The weight of the cat that voluptuously outspreads on the router contrasts with the speed of the information circulating in the object—the two subjects are opposing in their essential existence. In a pragmatic way, the cat stretches on the router for the heat that emerges. The heat produced by the material allows the circulation of immaterial information. “Weight & velocity (cat on router)” is not just an image of a cat–– it is a visual encompassment of domesticity and warmth in contrast with the coldness of networks and technology.
Gabriel Pericàs (b. 1988, Palma de Mallorca, Spain) is interested in developing an ironic view of modernity and its many forms through manipulating design processes. Referencing the work of Duchamp, Richter and Baldessari, Pericàs writes texts that are staged into performances, in which certain of his already existing art pieces are actors. The artist is interested in situating the viewer in a space that is built between narration and formalism employing a variety of digressions and slips to question methods of communication. He has an interest in the invisible, what is before our eyes but which we do not perceive, the underground forces and the libidinal flows.
