Contemporary art is
open, ephemeral, interdisciplinary, multimedial, discursive, dependent
on concept and context and increasingly interactive. The diversity of
contemporary art requires a fastidious commitment
to documentation for no other reason than at
some point the work will need research and authentication by those not
present at its conception and presentation. Inadequate
descriptions and visualisations of eventful art works are
symptomatic today even when supple means documentation are widely
accessible. Efemera is committed to archival documentation of its own
presentations
and, here and there, that of other artists and presenters.

Documentace
Současné umění je otevřený, prchavý,
interdisciplinární, multimediální,
diskurzivní, závisí na koncepci a situaci, a stále více interaktivní.
Různorodost současného umění vyžaduje náročný závazek k dokumentaci pro
žádný jiný důvod, než na nějakém místě práce bude muset výzkumu a
ověřování ti není přítomen na svém pojetí a prezentace. Nedostatečné
popisy a vizualizace pohnuté uměleckých děl je symptomatická dnes, i
když pružné znamená dokumentace jsou široce dostupné. Efemera se
zavázala, že archivní dokumentaci, vlastní prezentace, a tu a tam, ve
srovnání s ostatními umělci a moderátoři. (bad google translation)

An sound and video installation at the Swiss Hall in Tacoma, Washington. "As
the audience enters the installation space (they may arrive at any time
during the installation), they will be greeted by twin projection
screens showing original color films of people at work in distant
places such as China, Indonesia and other countries of the far east.
The performance space will be filled with the minimalist drone of the
composer's music designed to capture the acoustic characteristics
unique to the performance space. Live didgeridoo music will mix with
the pre-recorded drone intermittently. The audience will be invited to
move freely within the installation for any desired length of time--
some seating will be provided but listener/viewers will be encouraged
to move about. Projected videos and video monitors will be situated at
various positions throughout the space featuring people of far off
lands speaking anecdotally about their lives. The installation will run
continuously for six
hours."
