Untitled 2004. Engines, electrical resistances, smoke, tables, chair, turnished glasses.
"What was it about this small web image of an installation that made it stick to my memory and made me wish to find out all about it’s context and origin? The documentation of Micol Assaël’s installation Mindfall gives the impression of worn-out machinery, abandoned by its operators and heading towards the unknown. It makes me wonder what happened in this room – what will develop here, and will it in any way be possible to stop? Other parts of her work include large room environments in which she by means of electronics and mechanics creates (fascinating, in different ways charged) rooms where the viewer becomes physically involved through the use of temperature, air flow and electricity. A conversation with Assaël gives a glimpse into a way of thinking where dreams and the as yet unmapped frontiers of natural science become components in – and starting points of – art production."
