tacit knowledge experiment 1& 2
single channel video installation
intro
In both single-channel video installations, “tacit knowledge experiment 1” and “tacit knowledge experiment 2”, the researchers themselves become integral parts of a test set-up: using familiar objects from their daily work, they are asked to carry out tasks that are new to them. The conventional logic of use is thus turned on its head and the relationship between routine and the unknown in the practice of research becomes the focus here.
