AIDS-3D, OMG Obelisk, 2007. Courtesy of the artists.
Last month Interview magazine posted an interview with “Younger Than Jesus” artists AIDS-3D (Daniel Keller and Nik Kosmas) on its website. Keller discusses the duo’s participation in the New Museum survey. Here is an excerpt:
AG: You’re showing the OMG Obelisk. I thought that only existed as a .gif file. I thought most of your work did.
DK: No it was an installation, and it will be re-staged there, although yes, it’s mostly known in its animated .gif form. We installed it at the Rundgang at UDK in Berlin in the summer of 2007, but it was highly ephemeral. It was made with duct tape, and the fire lasted for only a few minutes at a time.
AG: Do you prefer it in one way or another?
DK: I think that it’s essential that the piece has two existences. I like that the piece has a digital , phenomenonal existence and then a sorta downloaded, shittier real form. That it can be translated.
