Is Your Phone Possessed?
www.ianhaig.net/pignose.mov
Liberv vel Reguli! involves a raw, crude animation aesthetic loosely based around the theme of devil possession, Satanism, and exorcism. In particular I am interested in the idea of 'possessed media' of technologies being a conduit of an otherworldly, paranormal entity. Mobile phones in particular lend themselves to such an idea by being highly charged personal media, with customised ringtone and messages and the notion of a wireless communication with frequencies in the atmosphere and the connection and transmission of unknown paranormal and supernatural frequencies not of this earth. With references to Latin, satanism, Alester Crowley and mobile technology as a device of incantation from beyond.

Ian Haig works at the intersection of visual arts and media arts. His work explores the strangeness of everyday reality negotiated through subject matter that is at times perverse and provocative. His practice focuses on the psychopathologies of technologies and the human psyche, often exploring the themes of the body, mutation and devolution through the lens of low cultural forms.

His work has been exhibited in galleries and video/media festivals around the world. Including exhibitions at the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, The Experimental Art Foundation, Adelaide, The Museum of Modern Art, New York, Artec Biennale - Nagoya, Japan, Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, Art Museum of China, Beijing and The European Media Arts Festival, Osnabruck, Germany. In addition his animation and video work have screened in over 120 Festivals internationally.
