Istvan Kantor [aka
Monty Cantsin] performance 18.00 installation exhibition Veteran cyber punk space cadet and founder of international Neoism Istvan Kantor AKA Monty Cantsin from Toronto, lets rip in Cardiff on the first date of his European tour. Utilising filing cabinets with live action, sound and video MACHINERY explores the socio-mechanical bodykinetics of communication systems and their relationships to individual and collective "body-machines" extended with new technology. The File Cabinet Project represents Kantors observations concerning information systems in technological society. The artists interest in the file cabinet is not a simple physical fascination or aesthetic obsession with an object but rather a wider theoretical involvement with semi-robotic sculptural systems and kinesonic information mechanisms. The simple monolithic file cabinets are single bodies of a technological system linked together by computers and integrated into a giant network that functions as a world wide information reproduction machinery. The body as a transmission device, orgasmic contractions as kinetic control system, epileptic seizure of the body as information machinery. A rare, not to be missed opportunity to see this legendary multi-media artist!
