The exhibition format Tombola is an experiment, a stroke of luck, a lottery. Artists are invited to take part in an experiment. A lottery is played on the theme and medium of a new work to be created.
The lottery tickets fell on mp3, in the technology category, and on "Maschinensturm" (Swing Riots /Luddism), in the theme category. The mp3 format irreversibly changed the way people deal with music, shook its distribution and trade to its very foundations and is a symbolic reminder of the digital transformation of everyday life and the resulting penetration and reorganization of social contexts. In the installation, the object-like utopian materialism of the "Maschinenstürmer" and an immaterial digital sound loop interact with an entropic progression.
