St Anthony the hacker and the stability of latent images - 2015

“ I stared into his eyes, so different without glasses from the huge round eyes of his earlier self. The eyes are narrow behind their contact lenses. Do I trust him? Dare I trust him? He seems a nice old man but he could well be the Hacker ...”

Gore Vidal – Live from Golgotha

The gathering of information requires that a situation be defined, where objects and actors are allowed the opportunity to interact and for reason to define outcomes. In this work a meeting room defined a space for a situation to take place, an experiment of social expression where individuals participate in a exercise of contributing to a future work. The result expresses itself in multiple forms. Here, still from the videos are presented. 'Scrubbing' through the gathered material images are caught in their process of re-drawing themselves on the screen. In this process of review the figure is caught in a moment of transformation, a liminal space that is in the process of materiality, of revealing itself.

Situation two: a proposition of encounter, a situation where visual information is gathered to then be re-composited as an online project at a future date.

The situation is this: two surveillance cameras face each other. Each camera is connected to an independent recording devices. They collect the images which we leave behind as we enter their ambit. They collect an image from the front, from the back or a left and a right.

Two data projectors are positioned to project the captured images onto a surface, in this case it will be onto the frosted windows facing onto St Georges Bay road. The images layered on top of each other, creating a composited image of an individual or multiple individuals. A mirror image or a chiral reflection.

The projecting of the images is intended to have a interactive/performative aspect to the experience. I will encourage the audience to record, photograph the re-composited images through wall text and or email communications or prompting texts. To support the flow from physical space to virtual space a business type card will be available for individuals to take with them for future reference and to access the images online as they are aggregated. A password type scenario is still under consideration.
