Scheer’s Unboxing pieces play with the neo-capitalist wow-effect of emotionally charged products that go way beyond their functionality. While placing themselves in the tradition of a medium old as art history itself: sculptures. Interfaces that we encounter every day from browsing websites and phones build the inside of what Scheer reveals in a micro-performative act. Elements from the UX and UI world form a composition, at times reminding us of Picassoesque humanoid characters. Seemingly wanting to tell us something with their hidden messages: In Search, I don't know either, Done. The outer shell is thought of as a relief work with a radical minimalist aesthetic, in the form of a hand-made "packaging" box, and literally functions as the cover for the interface-based works. Is the cover merely the dust catcher, the work itself or an extension of the other half? What’s sure is that one can’t exist without the other, protagonist and antagonist.
