Book design for The Applause Machine (Alban Karsten Bras).
This research, an inquiry into Trojan Horseness, examines different methods of intervention — hosting and infiltrating — as a creative practice in the public realm. It’s a performative practice based upon the biology of mutualism: the way two parties exist in a relationship in which each individual benefits from the activity of the other. In other words, to see how much you need to give in order to get what you want.
The concept of the Trojan Horse is used as an analogy throughout the writing to frame the relation between appearance and a hidden agenda. Two methods for performing in an infiltrative practice — the Advocate and the Imp — are drawn to position the intention of the performer and the work arising therefrom.
The use of the conditions of labor, work and action in the performative practice is researched in this thesis to examine the role of an artist in a market based economy, and what performance and a labor-practice have in common.
Typeface used is Bianco Serif from Alfa Type.
