SAFE DISTANCE REVISITED
The SAFE DISTANCE REVISITED action is based on the video found in 1999 during the NATO intervention against Yugoslavia. This initial HI-8 tape was found, edited and post-produced by the group of artists kuda.org in Novi Sad, then called SAFE DISTANCE. The tape was recorded on board of one of several fighter planes, and shows the last moments before the plane crashed. The pilot’s display is the only connection he has with the outside world; he is isolated from the reality he produces on the ground below. Every object is part of this virtual display which the pilot is completely dependent upon. This is a very unique tape, absolutely rare and potentially disturbing.
I went to Novi-Sad in 2004 and went to see people at Kuda.org, they gave me a copy of this tape and was facinated by its intensity. I then used it in a clash process with my own noise crescendos actions.
