With Abstract Shots Desire #6, Maurice Benayoun and Tobias Klein take abstraction to another realm. What we see is an informal and freestanding blue shape meandering. Yet the composition pictures a brain-powered representation of the idea of Desire. The artistic duo gives spectators the possibility to shape abstractions with their thoughts and control in real-time the evolution of an artificial organism. Each abstract shape takes the form of an abstract concept: Freedom, Desire, Consciousness, Power. From one participant to the next, the iterations refine, while partially inheriting from predecessors' vision. Far beyond allegories, human abstractions reveal the most human way to understand the world.
