Title:
\nSpiral: Athlete
\n2004,7:00<\/p>\n

SPIRAL is a work that centers on the current debate on the posthuman condition and queries the way we are trying to re-design the body through the technologies we ourselves create in constant pursuit of higher physical and mental achievements and better results.<\/p>\n

On one level, the work presents an insight into the performance-graph of a sportsperson\u2019s lifecycle and focuses on the relatively short career of the player through the eyes of an ex-athlete, ex-footballer and ex-water polo player. On another level, it queries the multi-tasking capabilities of the human brain when compared to its machine counterpart \u2013 the computer. The work, therefore, juxtaposes in parallel fashion advances in current technologies that re-shape the body and brain.<\/p>\n

SPIRAL shows video interviews conducted with ex-sportspeople who in some way have left a mark on the Maltese and to a lesser extent, the international sports scene. These people fondly reminisce magical moments that, to them, only sport can offer and recount first-hand experiences some even going back to the first Olympic Games after the Second World War. These interviews are edited in such a way as to emulate a multi-screen computer aesthetic, with multi visual and audio clips.<\/p>\n

The visitor will therefore, through this work, become the \u2018user\u2019 of the piece and relate simultaneously with a large amount of data on the limited surface of a screen.<\/p>\n
