"but now for the profound truth maybe..."
Its medial presence overlays the aura of the technically reproducible work: we have passed from the Benjaminian into a truly Jacobean age (Jacob, the second-born, who procured his father's blessing / and later fathered Benjamin: the reverse chronology), into that of medial reproducibility, in which technical reproduction has been replaced by the constructive production of aurae (and in which the real event, the first-born, no longer really seems to be needed).
In the performative act, on the other hand, the reality of physical presence, its non-reproducible, irreducible real presence (George Steiner), is unmistakable. But we only ever learn in retrospect, preferably from television, what we should actually have experienced, what meanings we should have read from the now past presence, and give the secondary our auratic blessing (despite Steiner's admonition).
Das Projekt "adsense" der Gruppe a rose is kehrt diese Logik um. Zugrunde liegt ein Fernseh-Interview mit einem fiktiven Autor, der selbst weder wei§, was er uns erläutert, noch dass er überhaupt gerade etwas erläutert, noch wozu das Interview anschlie§end verwendet werden wird. Dies versetzt ihn in die Lage, frei zu reflektieren, zu interpretieren und zu kommentieren, wie es keinem Beteiligten jemals möglich wäre.
"adsense" consists of the parts "adsense concert" (2003), "adsense lecture" (2004) and "adsense reflex" (2005).
