The Story Converter. 2012
Interactive mixed-media installation
For Nasir Nasrallah, making art is about experimenting with and synthesising materials, whether physical objects or ideas. The Story Converter is an ongoing interactive project. Exhibition visitors are invited to write something personal on cards hidden inside a custom-made box, unable to see as they write. Nasir Nasrallah then uses the scrawled texts to create a drawing, combining the donated material with his own experiences and thoughts. The black box becomes a machine, transforming inputs into outputs, both of which are then displayed alongside each other. In exchange for their participation, visitors receive a handmade notebook created from recycled paper.
