New Problems
Mixed media installation, 2019


"what is the purpose of bolt throwing during anomalies?" - asks user "grocco" in 2008 on the game faqs.com board, regarding the Ukrainian computer game "Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl", "I don't know what this has to do with [...], but I don't know that I have to do this." In Andrei Tarkovsky's 1979 film "Stalker," as well as in the 1972 novel "Roadside Picnic" by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky on which the film is based, there exists a navigator in an incomprehensible form, which constantly changes the landscape in detail "suggests that he should plot a twisted course [...] By: a) throwing a nut from a metal bolt tied to a thin piece of cloth in a random direction; b) repeating this process many times. He believes that pure intuition on the fly is the only way to safely reach [the destination]." (Sufi film, 2016). When in the novel the guide with the codename "red" throws his fifth bolt, "picks it up, everything is fine and begins to descend wonderfully, but halfway down it seems that something pulled him aside, pulling so hard that he heads into the clay and disappears."
The "New Problems" project explores the moments of collision between bolt and anomaly, displaying on print a series of selected frames from digital physical simulations. The reflected bolt was artificially aged by the artist, the canvas is a remnant of artist Angela Geisenhofer's activity at the Nazar Voitovych Residency in Travneve (the artist also from Munich). Daniel created a digital photogrammetric model of the bolt and canvas, cleaned and prepared it for force simulation in blender 2.8 software, but due to camera clipping errors / errors in blender's new eevee rendering engine, beautiful color patterns appeared, which are reflected in the print on canvas. The accompanying video documentary shows scenes from the everyday life of a stalker in Travneve.
