 Diller+Scofidio Diller+Scofidio: Recent Projects USA 1999, 14' The video features the visual documentation of seven projects conceived by Diller+Scofidio since 1995. We interrupt this program… shows an installation realised in CNN head quarters in Atlanta. The aim is to add a critical context to the space of consumption represented by the atrium and its retail activities. By projecting alternatively Headline News on a giant liquid crystal screen which can be phased from translucent to transparent it is possible to restore pre-televisual urban space of face-to-face politics, like in historical cities when news were disseminated by word of mouth and not received passively. Jump Cuts This installation realised in a theatre is a complicated electronic machine to project people's bodies moving inside the theatre on 12 liquid crystal screens suspended on the road facing the theatre. The building is flipped inside-out: on which side of the theatre wall is the spectacle? Cold War plays with the ironic analogy between a team play and a war strategy. Broward Hockney Arena iced stage is used as a projection screen where computer animated videos interacted with the phases of the real game. The "captive" audience is challenged by the videos to consider the game through the perspective of a battle. Moving Target is a project based on the release of Nijinski's diaries. The intention is to examine the changing the definitions of the "normal" and the "pathological" through a complex illusionary visual spectacle realised with a giant one-way mirror placed on a stage where dancers are performing. Like Jump Cuts Facsimile intervenes on the perception of internal and external spaces. The two notions collapse because of an illusion created by a projection screen and a camera placed on a building's façade. In International EXPO 2001 a suggestive cloud-like structure made of filtered water hovers over a lake. The public can circulate inside the cloud to its core where internal walls and the lake surface are utilised for projection. In the second part of the video a submerged restaurant offers an internal sectional view of the lake in which video pontoon boats provide a spectacle of synthetic images. Finally Man Walking at Ordinary Speed: Inertia creates interaction between dancers and virtual performers on a stage where a moving screen and a live camera act with real dancers. The work focuses on the history of imaging technologies in the construction of "truths". |
