Michael Robertson’s art practice
is concerned with the tangible results of contingent, on-going systems that
play out in the making and reception of work. There is an exigency or necessity
of information in the form of on-going experiment and documentation that runs
through controlled and measured processes. The functional aspects of objects and
apparatus play out in praxis. The action and processes that autonomously
perform in objects are embraced.
The site
specific installation is driven to record and alter an environment via
variations in humidity and readings of Ph. values from extracted liquid. The reception
or interaction within the duration and the event act as a catalyst to fluctuate
the relative humidity in the space, activating a futile yet subtle push and
pull between the functional object of a dehumidifier, and the audiences
influence on humidity within the duration of the work.
