Holy Water, Robert Rauschenberg, 1954/81
"Much of Rauschenberg’s painting utilizes assemblage, and here he has captured a sort of found collage of seemingly disparate elements: a public water fountain, “Holy Water” sign, free pamphlets, and a small, hanging bell. With deadpan humor, the image singles out these offers of salvation found by chance on an urban street."
RICHARD H. KIRK // ONE ZERO [LOOPSTATIC (AMINE ß RING MODULATIONS), 2000]
The world becomes a sum of lifeless artifacts; from synthetic food to synthetic organs, the whole man becomes part of the total machinery that he controls and is simultaneously controlled by. He has no plan, no goal for life, except doing what the logic of technique determines him to do. He aspires to make robots as one of the greatest achievements of his technical mind, and some specialists assure us that the robot will hardly be distinguished from living men. This achievement will not seem so astonishing when man himself is hardly distinguishable from a robot. The world of life has become a world of ‘no-life’; persons have become ‘nonpersons,’ a world of death. Death is no longer symbolically expressed by unpleasant-smelling feces or corpses. Its symbols are now clean, shining machines.
