Maneki Nek O)))
CUTE WAVING DRONE CHEINESE LUCKY CAT INVITES GOLD
WEALTH ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION POWERED BY BATTERY
AA FENG SHUI LUCKY CAT BESTSELLERS PLAASTIC STRINGS
CRAFT ARM EXCCCITING SOUND PATTERN RANDOM GIFT
With its origins in the East, the meditative experience migrated to the West where it was commodified and infused with glamour and kitsch. The great drone metal bands had reinvented this kitsch as a highly-dramatic, extravagant sound experience. Maneki Nek O))) is a sound installation about ancient imagery that, once stripped of its original grandeur, becomes a decadent representation of hollowed plastic. Techniques of DIY and acoustic phenomena of beating and phasing mingle with the inexhaustible joy of online shopping and the appropriation of readymade objects. Hollowed evil faces control an unending mechanism of automated hypnosis.
Created & Performed by OOMVABOREG: Marco Milevski, Eyal Bitton and Tomer Damsky, an artist
collective working from their shared flat at the Cats' Square, Jerusalem.
Originally exhibited in TECTONICS international music festival, Tmuna Theater, Tel Aviv, November 2016
Exhibited also in MusraraMix Festival, Jerusalem, June 2017
