Video today is the medium of all media: sophisticated or domestic, from CNN and MTV to the amateurs on YouTube, Instagram or TikTok, videos are produced and distributed in the billions on social media. Video dominates news, advertising, political, ideological or religious propaganda, and art as well. And its images in movement are increasingly seen in the placid calm of the museum.
In the three videos of Thinking in Loop, Boris Groys reveals himself as a refined philosopher, art critic and theoretician of media as well as an authentic medium of the medium of all media, intelligently staging the ambivalent rituals of word and image that constitute our culture.
This exhibition is an audio-visual installation where the philosopher, curator and artist has appropriated fragments of films and documentaries, combining each of the resulting three film collages with an oral essay. The video collages, produced from 2002 to 2007, were published by ZKM (Zentrum für Kultur und Medientechnologie) in Karlsruhe in 2008.
