Dalibor Martinis‘ interventions, also on the very edge of visibility are to be found in “Cosmic Counterfeits,” where the artist shifted the galaxies on then astronomical charts, only the forgeries were done not only on a larger scale (70 x 100 cm) but with larger, cosmic dimensions. Micro-communication is typical of this kind of work, communication that is at the edge of perceptibility, in which only a small handful of participants can be involved, which is also to be one of the identification marks of this author. The forgery tends towards being as difficult to distinguish from the original as possible. N.B.
