Visible Solutions LLC was nominated for the Estonian contemporary art prize – The Köler Prize 2014. We decided to commission our work for the show from one of the best contemporary painters in Estonia – Tõnis Saadoja.

Ligudik, Valuemeter and Artwork Consisting Only of its Value is a three-piece artwork originally commissioned by the steirischer herbst festival, Graz, Austria (2013).

The Artwork Consisting Only of its Value  consists of a value defined by a mathematical formula based on a combined interest rate calculation that increases over time ad infinitum. The special device called Valuemeter calculates and displays the current value and allows the viewer to experience the incessant growth. The value is calculated and displayed using a new currency – the Ligudik, the value of which is equivalent to the energy contained in one kilogram of human fat. The third piece is a representation of one Ligudik – a kilogram of refined human fat in a glass vessel.

The work is a miniature environment for reflecting on the ideas of value, growth and human energy in the context of a capitalist economic system.

“Hoisting the Banner” is a ritualistic photo performance that takes place when Visible Solutions LLC enters a new market. This happens when we exhibit our works in a new country. It’s visual language is derived from classic propaganda imagery. By placing the invisible hand on the national flags our goal is to bring into focus the economic order and to create a grotesque post factum visual of the advancement of the neo liberal economic order. And of course the ever expanding photo series tells the success story of our company – Visible Solutions LLC. It is simultaneously a performance and a photo work.

Visible Solutions LLC made its first business deal with Mrs. Laine Jänes (now Randjärv), the Estonian Minister of Culture at the time. The deal was made via Facebook; in the process, the enterprise and the Minister exchanged symbolic capital. The event took place on 31 August 2010, one day before the start of the new school year. An advertising campaign for Captain Morgan Rum was happening on Facebook – “Lady Gaga cocktail competition”.

The participants took a photo of a rum and cola cocktail, posted it on the wall of Captain Morgan’s page and tried to get as many likes as possible by 1 September. The prize was a trip to Rotterdam, to a Lady Gaga concert for the author of the photo and their three friends. The Estonian Minister of Culture Laine Jänes (now Randjärv) encouraged all her facebook friends to like a photo in the competition.

Laine Jänes: “Support friends and add likes to the picture : – ) if you like it. It is a competition!”
