“Hervé Graumann is regarded one of the pioneers of the digital media arts in Switzerland. However, unlike his previous works, Graumann’s “Patterns” series was not created on the computer, but composed of real objects from industrial mass production. He pedantically arranges such trivial things as a steel wool scourer, a clothes peg and a horse sculpture made of plastic to form irritating patterns, which he does not present as installations, but rather in the form of photographs and wallpaper.* Even where, in relation to “Patterns”, Graumann is working with real objects and such traditional art forms as installations or photography, he remains loyal to the computer. His compositions quote the “wallpapers” that are so popular with computer users as background for their desktops. Like other works by this Swiss artist, his patterns develop their wit and their analytical potential through a transfer from one medium to another. In this case, he transforms the computer users’ virtual wallpaper into a real wall covering.”

Hum… I do present those patterns as installations too (!).
However, 3 of the 4 reproductions in the book were specially build for producing a photographic work.
