wim delvoye’s gone gothic
Hitch has just sent us this lovely picture of Belgian conceptual artist Wim Delvoye’s gothic machine, one of many. Delvoye’s just been to Budapest a couple of months ago, that I came to know with pity - although he’s been here with the Cloaca contraption afaik (that’s pretty similar to the one having presented at Linz, the Ars Electronica festival) and he’s got so many more interesting, weird constructs - very similar to the majestic and gigantic ornamented vehicles of the Warhammer 40K universe.
The television skies of Chiba City branded his brains in 1992. He hasn't recovered fully since. Re-wired his brain with a few years of FastTracker, hosted radio shows on the first .hu netradio for 4 years, went on to broadcast radio for another two. Worked on the absurd radio series Kónuszék, that actually led him to become a script writer for the multiple-award winning animation Nyócker.
