The
most recent object, designated for public space, is YAPPER, created
by Tomasz Bajer together with Jerzy Kosalka and Andrzej Dudek-Dürer
in the scope of the international project Urban Potentials. It is
a multmedial vehicle, reminding of a huge loudspeaker, that would
be used during the totalitarian propaganda, then commonly known
as szczekaczka (yapper), whose task now is to fill the
empty space in European cities with soothing music and multimedial
presentation. Yapper reflects the independent, mobile gallery, travelling
alternative cinema, with own source of power and loudspeakers.
Specially
convened group of artists, hiding behind a meaningful symbol of
V3, has decided to interfere with the urban space. The attack of
V3 is aimed at empty squares, gaps between the buildings and commercial
arcades in the city centre. The group consists of highly-qualified
experts in metaphysical therapy (Andrzej Dudek-Dürer), therapy
through jokes (Jerzy Kosalka) and the therapy through work (Tomasz
Bajer).
V3 was a group of people who assemble suddenly in a public space
of Dresden, do something unusual for a period of time, and then
quickly
disperse.
According
to the Urban
Dictionary YAPPER means:
- somebody who is constanly talking and knows more then he should
know, and tells everyone he is associated with all that he knows.
- a person who talks a lot and tells secrets or lies.
