TRACING, A Two Screen Interactive Installation, 1998
Motion sensor detectors, Redfinger sensor system, 2 computers, 2
projectors, 4 track sound system
The installation consists of a
wall/screen separating a museum space in half. Image/texts and sounds are
continuously projected on both sides of the wall/screen. The contents are
interactively determined by the audience's movement and position within the
front section of the room. The audience's positions control speed, focus,
selection of sounds and topics (text descriptions of everyday stituations,
systems, issues of technology keywords collected in CA and Germany between
1994-1997). On the back screen, a projected blurred letter is explored with the
mouse or "retraced" to extrude in-focus words and video segments
describing a different sense of space (Video footage was collected in Eastern
and Central in the early 1990's). The back room's contents are also determined
by the audience activities and locations in the front room through infra-red
communication between the two computers.
