Abstract

The article may be seen as a sequel to my paper delivered at a conference on art historical subjectivity and methodology in Stockholm 1999, initiated by Margaretha Rossholm Lagerlöf. – Now I will try to move that analysis a little step further by discussing some problems concerning the more explicit performative effects and experiences of everyday technical objects and their occasionally strange visual expressions in relation to their evident role as handy utility articles or equipment. Performative, because I am especially interested in the effects upon the user or beholder, and how the expressions are transmitted into, and re-used, in an individually experienced universe.
