Simon Schäfer takes apart yesterday's technology to build today's sculptures, instruments, installations, stuff. der Warst takes apart sounds and pictures to scream them into the world, all wrong and distorted and beautiful.

Work of art I would like to make

My work as a New Sensation would be the installation 'sleeping monster'. Basically, 'the villain's lair' on standby. The control desk from where the whole world can be ruled, but the ruler's just off for a tea. In the meantime, the machines in their shiny chipboard housings keep monitoring, controlling, blinking and beeping in power-save mode.

A childish dream of world-domination in a world dominated by grown men.
