Esther Hunziker’s un_focus project begins with the sound of electronically amplified drops, as familiar from the beginning of the Pink Floyd album Meddle. With each drop, a new word replaces the previous one on the white page: Irregular—Focus—Never—Unfocus—No Rules—New Focus. Then the loop starts over. This time drips, and on the bottom of the screen is a series of ten numbers, which turn out to be links. Behind them one finds Hunziker’s experiments with digital rhetoric.

From the shipwreck where the viewers find themselves on the boat by way of the held-out, torn-out image of fighters and lovers to mouse-over sound effects that are not supposed to cause panic. However, in the beginning is the palimpsest that never forgets.
