“COOKIES”

Performans Cookies premijeru je imao u travnju 2008. godine u Roulettu u New Yorku u suradnji s festivalom hrane i umjetnosti UMAMAI.  Performans je vrlo intiman, poput performativne poezije koja se nadovezuje na fenomen mnogih gurmana koji poeziju povezuju s dobrom hranom. Tijekom performansa peku se Kolačići, ali se istovremeno referira na virtualne kolačiće (i na čin brisanja istih). Virtualne kolačiće čine male tekstualne datoteke koje web stranice spremaju na osobna računala korisnika, a mogu se koristiti za spremanje podataka o posjeti korisnika web stranici. Performans je baziran na principu dekonstrukcije slova u riječi “Performance” u projektu L.E.P.P.: Lesson on Performance in English / English Lesson on Performance / Performance in English on Lesson / Performance on English Lesson.

First performed in April 2008 at ROULETTE, New York with the cooperation of UMAMAI, food and art festival. This is an intimate performance, a kind of performative poem that relates to the phenomenon of many gourmet aficionados comparing good food to poetry. During the performance, cookies are baked, but reference is also made to “cookies” (and to the act of “deleting the cookies”) in the virtual world – small text files that websites can save on the personal computer that can be used to save information about the user’s visit to their website. The performance is based on the principle of deconstructing the letters of the word “performance” in the project L.E.P.P.: Lesson on Performance in English / English Lesson on Performance / Performance in English on Lesson / Performance on English Lesson.
