POINTING MACHINE [fr. machine à pointer]
The Emergency Artist is a denonciateur, a pointer.
The Emergency Artist hunts for dysfunction.
The visual competence of the artist is not directed by any artistic intention, will or any special form of creative inspiration.
The visual competence is a reflex, much like an awareness muscle or a artistic nerve, trained and developed by the artist himself under a long time.
The artist eventually becomes an machine, trained to spot visual and conceptual dysfunctions to which this muscle responds.
This reflexive response answers immediately to spotted dysfunction by pointing and indexing it.
