Electroboutique, ‘AirPort’ (2009)
AirPort is placed in a forest, between trees and bushes. The huge departures display shows flight numbers, departures times, gates, airlines and destinations. All information is displayed in real time. A female voice announces changes in the timetable, last calls and other information that is usually announced at airports.
“The landscape was a mixture of the strange and the beautiful..”
“Well, I don’t know about the treasure, but I’m sure there is fever there.”
“There was no evidence that man had ever sat foot here before”

A video shot for Portscapes, a series of art projects along the coast of the Maasvlakte, near Rotterdam.
Dijkman shot the video from a boat circling a newly created island. This video was eventually dubbed with audio excerpts from moviescenes where people are entering land from the water.

Below is an interview with Dijkman about the project
Aldo Giannotti, ‘Lonely’ (2007)
A sound installation at the Venice Biennial.
During 3 days in June 2007 Gianotti went to the technical room of the Arsenale after the closing hour of the Venice Biennale. Every evening, sitting in front of the central microphone for one hour, he sang the song “Mr. Lonely” (by Bobby Vinton), which was transmitted over speakers all across the deserted exhibition halls.
Lonely, I’m Mr. Lonely
I have nobody for my own
I am so lonely, I’m Mr. Lonely
Wish I had someone to call on the phone…

The animals were allured by a sausage. When the fox bit in the bait, it activated the camera connected by a cord with the sausage. One week later the animals had learned to eat the sausage without being photographed.
