My Holy Nacho

My Holy Nacho A network-sculpture made out of misunderstandings After 10 processes, the object — whatever it looks like and whatever it becomes — is exhibited.

For My Holy Nacho, a single object is sent to different manufacturers and workshops to have various ‘processes’ applied to it. Each process is chosen, in secret and in turn, by the collaborating artists, Jamie Allen and Bernhard Garnicnig. My Holy Nacho is a transactional and transnational art project between two artists who enjoy misunderstanding each other, using the gaps in communications via e

lectronic media to create an artwork. My Holy Nacho is a sculptural object built from fissured transmissions and mistranslations — even the title of the work is the result of a misunderstanding: a mis-hearing of the name Moholy-Nagy in a noisy pub in Northern England; a mumbly mispronunciation in a Canadian accent to an Austrian not-so-native speaker. What exactly is it that happens when you click the ‘submit’ button on a browser? Will a factory worker be set to action in a distant land? Will a power outage be caused in a small town near a datacenter? Will the global economies be affected? Will it make someone smile? Will a long-lost friend come and visit? There is so much power in the action of a 'click', to move people, money, mountains, art. The project is supported by the Danish Arts Council and the Austrian Federal Ministry for Education, Arts and Culture (BMUKK).

"Some performance art, I view as heavy, slow and intellectual. It isn’t always to my liking. But this thing here is actually quite fun. It’s violent, and it’s action filled. And it doesn’t take a hundred years to cut this thing up. You don’t have to pretend still to be interested seven hours later."
