The artistic world of Vincent Emmanuel Guitter, with the work of Marcel Duchamp hovering in the background, is stamped by the utopian anarchy of Monte Verità and the darkness of punk, even if his sound pieces owe more to industrial rock. Currently he is working on a dissertation dealing with art and contemporary secret societies. His piece, accompanied by an excerpt of George Frideric Handel’s Saul, alludes to the “illuminati” micro-societies of the 18th century that avoided police surveillance by printing out small posters (kinds of flyers for the period) or meeting in the backrooms of taverns, still called the “Chambre (camera) du Milieu.” These societies continue to partially avoid information gathering today because they remain “imageless.”
