| Medi@cus
Internet addiction disorder is a condition which becomes more and more common today. Dr. Ivan Goldberg first coined the term Internet addiction disorder (IAD) for pathological, compulsive Internet use. Hours spent in front of the computer make people addicted to it. Like in any other type of addiction people addicted to alcohol or other drugs, develop a relationship with their "chemicals of choice" and this relationship takes over other aspects of their lives. Addicts find they need drugs in order to feel happy. By spending hours alone on the computer people often decrease physical activities and socialization. There are many symptoms of IAD, not only psychological but also physical, such as Repetitive Strain Injuries in the hands, wrists, neck, back and shoulders; Cyber Shakes (typing motions of the fingers and psychomotor agitation); tension headaches, Computer Vision Syndrome in the eyes or general malnourishment.
For the project Medi@cus I have made a series of nine drawings which are assembled on textiles used for cleaning. The material was chosen consciously in order to point the process of daily routine such as cleaning to which one can also be easily addicted. On the other hand, sometimes, while being addicted, one needs a proper “clean-up” to find happiness without the addiction. The exhibition is shown both in real and virtual world. First opening of the exhibition was on April 21st 2006 in Phoenicia Centre for Contemporary Art in Rosemary, Second Life.
For the project I have logged on to the Second Life, chosen the name Anna Noonan and created my avatar to look as much as possible like me. Later on I have found a gallery and arranged an exhibition with gallery owner Viktor Newchurch. Just like in real world, I have shown him my portfolio and discussed the details of the exhibition opening.
On May 6th 2006 there was an exhibition “Welcome to Media!” at the Królikarnia Gallery at National Museum in Warsaw. Apart from the actual drawings there are be 9 screenshots from my Second Life adventures and exhibition preparations and also wasca live screening of an event at the Phoenicia Art Centre.
