An erection in the private sphere through the bodyism of entertainment.
Martin Gut assembled a loudspeaker and an opened hard disk on a lifeboy resembling those used in the series Baywatch.
The hard disk transmits an electric impuls to the loudspeaker. On top of the cover plate Martin Gut installed an artificial male penis.
The impulse of the hard disk creates a rhythmic back and forth movement on the speakers membrane which signifies the imaginary heartbeat of a stimulated person.
Martin Gut`s electric scrap machine The Trivial Erection Device is homage to the bodyism of the entertainment industry which forces us to desire pictures of attractive people.
This Industry seems to aim at creating continuously horny individuals which is reflected in the buckled biography in the space of tension between achievement and desire.
The trivialerector contains the symbols of the ideal sexy-human (bay watch lifebuoy), the harmony (loud speaker) and sexuality (artificial male penis), media, memory and remembrance (hard disk).
