Relational Architecture 11
Under Scan
is an interactive video art installation for public space. In the work,
passers-by are detected by a computerized tracking system, which activates
video-portraits projected within their shadow. Over one thousand
video-portraits of volunteers were taken in Derby, Leicester, Lincoln,
Northampton and Nottingham by a team of local filmmakers. For its London
presentation in Trafalgar Square, Tate Modern filmed over 250 additional
recordings. As people were free to portray themselves in whatever way they
desired, a wide range of performances were captured. In the installation, the
portraits appear at random locations. They "wake-up" and establish
eye contact with a viewer as soon as his or her shadow "reveals"
them. As the viewer walks away, the portrait reacts by looking away, and
eventually disappears if no one activates it.
Every 7 minutes the entire project stops and resets. The tracking system is revealed in a brief "interlude" lighting sequence, which projects all of the calibration grids used by the computerized surveillance system.
The piece was inspired by representation en abîme, where the portrayed make eye-contact with the viewer, - as found in works by Jan Van Eyck, Parmigianino, Velázquez or Leon Golub. Other references for this work include the post-photographic device described in La invención de Morel, written by Adolfo Bioy Casares (1940) and the ghostly portraits created by Gary Hill, Lynn Hershman-Leeson, Paul Sermon and Luc Courchesne.

Voice
Array
Subsculpture 13
As a
participant speaks into an intercom, his or her voice is automatically
translated into flashes of light and then the unique blinking pattern is stored
as a loop in the first light of the array. Each new recording pushes all
previous recordings one position down and gradually one can hear the cumulative
sound of the 288 previous recordings. The voice that was pushed out of the
array can then be heard by itself.
