== What is ==


Multimedia presentation of a mound of clay being fisted. The piece consists of three depictions of clay fisting: live action, 3D rendering, and live performance. Fisting is an accidental direct reference to Joseph Kosuth's 'One & Three Cahirs' (1965).

== Critiques ==
* the image processing level correlates with audio processing, so the live is the most 'honest' while the 3D is the most augmented
* the three performances can be spontaneous and on their own, not in sync. This way the whole is less deterministic, more spontaneous
* a direct reference to ASMR
* the real live performance could be the most uncanny, the most processed and augmented
== Research ==
Joseph Kosuth, Wiki
* Joseph Kosuth, "Art is not a question of forms and colors but one of the production of meaning."
* His activity has consistently explored the production and role of language and meaning within art.
* stripping art of personal emotion, reducing it to nearly pure information or idea and greatly playing down the art object
* 1966 Kosuth also embarked upon a series of works entitled Art as Idea as Idea, involving texts, through which he probed the condition of art.
* Kosuth forwards tautological statements, where the works literally are what they say they are.
* he spent time in the Trobriand islands with the Aboriginal tribe that Malinowski had studied and wrote on. From Kosuth's point of view, " I knew I could, would, never enter into their cultural reality, but I wanted to experience the edge of my own." It was this experience and study which lead to his well-known text ‘The Artist as Anthropologist’ in 1975.
