COMENIUS and JAHIC at scope art fair in New York 2009

Swiss artist duo COMENIUS ROETHLISBERGER and ADMIR JAHIC investigate the still very young, but global social phenomenons of the web 2.0. They transformed the visual (and virtual) language of “broadcasting” into a physical medium by producing drawings on heavy handmade paper and recreating virtual references by allowing elemental art materials to do what they do best and add to the confusion.

“Without you baby, there ain’t no us” is a series of 21 inches x 31 inches / 56cm x 76cm drawings and based on a rendered freeze-frame, complete with video title, user ratings and number of views.

Despite of their success, they are also still true to the democratic roots of the internet and sell their works for prices, affordable to everyone (shop here).
