Die Wahl des Ausschnitts sorgt f\u00fcr die Inszenierung und Zuspitzung des ins Bild Ger\u00fcckten. So kann man die Gem\u00e4lde zum einen als medienreflexive Kommentare auf die Bildermaschinen unserer Tage lesen, zum anderen erscheinen sie als Orte mysteri\u00f6ser Handlungen. Gezeigt werden mit den <em>Battlestations<\/em> Tatorte von Onlinegamern, wobei die T\u00e4ter allenthalben Spuren hinterlassen haben.<\/p>\n<p>F\u00fcr die Gamer symbolisiert der Computerplatz vor allem das Tor in die virtuelle Gemeinschaft. Wie im Falle der <em>Hikikomori<\/em>, die jedem realen sozialen Kontakt aus dem Weg gehen und sich in ihr Zimmer vor den Fernseher oder den Computer zur\u00fcckgezogen haben, greift auch im realen Leben der Gamer oftmals Verwahrlosung um sich. Doch gerade die verhei\u00dfungsvollen Monitore bleiben in den Bildern von Alberto Zamora Ruiz schwarz. Stattdessen haben die Settings der Onlinegames oder Videocontents als m\u00e4chtige Wandmalerei <em>in situ<\/em> den Raum hinter den Bildern erobert. Flirrend tritt eine amerikanische Vorstadtarchitektur her- vor, die ihr Vorbild in einem Videogame hat. Die k\u00fcnstlichen Monitorfarben glimmen durch die Szenerie, weshalb das Bild sich mitunter jeden Moment wieder aufzul\u00f6sen scheint, um dem n\u00e4chsten Platz zu machen.<\/p>\n<p>Die ins Bild gesetzte Hardware wirkt nach heutigen Standards schon fast nostalgisch. Umso mehr dr\u00e4ngt sich die Frage nach der f\u00fcr unser Leben\u00a0 \u201erichtigen\u201c Gewichtung von Realit\u00e4t und Digitalit\u00e4t auf.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Alberto Zamora Ruiz creates interiors overflowing with monitors, computers, lengths of cable, personal odds and ends, ashtrays and so forth. The choice of the displayed segment stages what is rendered visually and pushes it to an extreme. One can read the paintings as commentaries reflecting upon the media, the image-producing machines of our current era; at the same time, the viewer can discover in them sites of mysterious activities. With the <\/em>Battlestations<em>, we see the crime scenes of online gamers, where the culprits are missing and countless clues point towards them.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>For gamers, the computer sites symbolise above all entry into the virtual community. Touching upon the phenomenon of the <\/em>hikikomori<em>, who avoid any real social contact and withdraw into a virtual world, this self-neglect has a widespread impact upon real life. But with their enticing promise, the monitors in the pictures of Alberto Zamora Ruiz remain mute. Instead the actions which take place on the Internet as online game or video content spread out in a powerful statement as wall painting in situ behind the pictures. Coming to the fore is a shimmering <\/em><em>image of American suburban architecture which has its origin in a video game. The artificial colours of the monitor glimmer throughout the scene, and the picture seems to be dissolving at every moment and giving way to the next content.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>With respect to today\u2019s standards, the computer setups on display here seem almost nostalgic. Thus it becomes all the more apparent that the issue concerning the relative weights of the real and the digital remains acutely relevant.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1511,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[10],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/goodspace.villa-merkel.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1340"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/goodspace.villa-merkel.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/goodspace.villa-merkel.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodspace.villa-merkel.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodspace.villa-merkel.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1340"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/goodspace.villa-merkel.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1340\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1602,"href":"https:\/\/goodspace.villa-merkel.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1340\/revisions\/1602"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodspace.villa-merkel.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1511"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/goodspace.villa-merkel.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1340"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodspace.villa-merkel.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1340"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodspace.villa-merkel.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1340"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
