This text threw me into deep, deep waters:

“From ancient entombed terracotta soldiers until today, rulers have employed masses whose power lay not in kinetic but in semiotic force.“ After the word “masses” it was a pity they were represented by just seven figures, but I may have mist the semiotics there.

“Büttners work, which borrows its title from Hannah Black (sorry, I did not get that title), is concerned with representations of violence. The installation comprises seven sculptures formed out of different earths, each of which has the skeleton of a machine underneath. The sculptures resemble a mixture between sci-fi warriors or riot police and terracotta soldiers turned upside down on their heads. They respond (to what?, if I may ask) , by starting to vibrate and shake, into a world of algorithms and networks that has lost control or turned violent, unleashing a kind of Golem in the form of a machine.

Some people were making a recording for a project of its own, one of them was between some golems, looking at what seemed a mobile phone. Man machine square, so to speak.
