Project Native Informant @ Art Basel Hong Kong 2017 with a new video installation by Babak Radboy + DIS Imagine an image which is completely incomprehensible. Imagine a world full of such images. Imagine a government that serves the people. Now imagine the people are assholes. Imagine the most ignorant person in the world speaking about ignorance. Prompts of a far too real present, Narrative Devices by DIS + Babak Radboy reflects the \u201cpost-contemporary\u201d: the future as familiar, predictable, immutable, a simulacrum of the past. It is the present that is unknowable, unpredictable and incomprehensible. In a post-Trump, post-truth, \u201calternative facts\u201d reality, Narrative Devices suggests fantasy is more influential and effective than reality. Anyone can begin to build an alternative present, reconfigure failed narratives or decipher meaning from continual flux. The four videos, each a mini \u201cnarrative device\u201d, are the central element of a new installation by the artists. Each video marks a passage of conceptual and critical thinking: be it the relationship between the government and the governed or the producer and the consumer. A man relieves himself on a public street during the day while scrolling through today\u2019s news. A young woman wearing a cable knit sweater texts on her phone, imagining a world where no one reads. All are rendered in a sickly corporate aesthetic reminiscent of an advertisement proclaiming unbounded opportunity. #dismagazine #babakradboy #artbasehongkong @dismagazine @babakradboy @artbasel<\/a><\/p>\n
