Lessacsados.com, 2016-2017
lessacsados.com reproduces an online sales site taking inspiration from marketing strategies used by companies to promote the sale of their products.
It presents five backpacks with specific features: The bag camouflage The bag « wipe off your tracks» The bag « don't get lost» The bag protection The bag to pick plants These functional sculptures were thought and created to exist only thanks to the website lessacsados.com which allows them to play dematerialized products and to use their presentation codes. The setting up of these bags on this site turns this sales space into an exhibition space. Using the promotional codes of e-commerce and web design, lessacsados.com discusses the notion of commerce in the artistic field by the mimicry of a sales website who goes until allow to add items in the shopping cart. However, the bags have no price and can not be bought. This impossibility of consumption invites to question the value and the accessibility of the objects whatever their nature, artistic and/or utilitarian. This approach ironically reveals an absurdity, a contradiction between artistic objects with value-added and a website selling multiple, functional, mass-consumption objects. |
