Every machine beholds an interior landscape, normally invisible and disregarded as such, as we solely tend to take its functional exterior into account. Many artists, driven by both a romantic and a technological fascination, related to the machine and its era: from Leonardo Da Vinci in the 15th century to 20th century Futurists to present day geeks.
To voice the inner world of electronic hardware like radios, video recorders, computer games etc., the machine should, according to the machine liberators, take its true matter into account: both on behalf of its inner, private sounds as its visual existence. As all of these are the side effects of a functional destiny, they are both part of our universal full sum and independent entities, sometimes even ignored.
In a role that could be pronounced as 'electronic archeologist', Prins stripped hardware, separating the electronic components, until bare frameworks, with a specific body to voice, remained. This particle configuration and (de)assembling of industrial nature's elementary presents us the series of Reduced Objects.
