Bootleg Oracle

For Bootleg Oracle, Alfatih used a synthetic media software to animate domestic objects with the voices of political leaders delivering speeches. During a period of separateness and physical isolation, experiences of public life have become further detached from a sense of a collective body. The voices of leaders across the globe, who attempt to pacify and manipulate via political speech, is seen instead creeping into domestic voids, acting as the occupant of dim unpeopled rooms.

Alfatih lives and works in Switzerland. He has presented interactive, installation and video works in institutions and spaces such as Swiss Institute, New York (US); Kora Arts Center, Castrignano (IT); Musée cantonal des Beaux-Arts, Lausanne (CH); Fri Art Kunsthalle, Fribourg (CH); Haus der Elektronische Kunst, Basel (CH) and Circuit, Lausanne (CH).
