Information derived from stereotypical experience

The author looks at three public space projects to show how, through a simple artistic intervention, we can extract information from a cliché-like experience. Depending on the degree to which one is open to it, these works can make us aware of the way our stories about the world are constructed and relative. The article deals with Job Koelewijn’s mobile cinema developed in 1999 for Ooststellingwerf, Roman Signer’s wind tunnel for the Artificial natural networks event in Zeewolde in 2002 and Stanley Brouwn’s walk under the auspices of a landscape art project in the land consolidation region of Weerselo-Dulder.
