theme & concept:

* The cultural container representing itself to society today and going to
reign the 21st century … is characterized by substitutional relations
based on the central involvement with information technology, pursued from
a position of pseudo-autism … With the decay of inter-personal culture
and the expansion of IT-controlled substitutes of inter-relation only one
mass container is left for and generally accepted by a borderlining
majority: the unavoidable search for the ego and for techniques allowing
the construction of identity. *

* J. Erik Mertz, in: Borderline - weder tot noch lebendig, 2000

In January 2003, SAVE / SAFE started from a research of human
states-of-being related to the impact of New Technologies on the perception
and self-consciousness of individual existence. Using the atmosphaeric
background of a journey to Oceania - a context of highly social municipal
communities still existing on many of the geographically isolated
Polynesian islands and a westernized New Zealand having integrated all
attitudes of 'modern' life - SAVE / SAFE compares Anna's individual
experience to results of the scientific research of philosophy, psychology,
ethics, sociology and new media theory.

Since then, a contemporary variety of aspects on the theme have been added
by artists / authors from different countries, thus turning the SAVE / SAFE
automat more and more into what it intends to be - a mirror - through a
spectrum of different views the structure of the reading machine SAVE /
SAFE turns into a mirror of contemporary conditioning, thus provoking the
user to consciously read without reading, understand without analyzing,
experience without touching.
