Mirror_SPACE

interactive Installation

2004/05

Mirror_SPACE is a virtual mirror where users can experience their image transformed – not according to the rules of geometric optics, but filtered by a “real time scanning apparatus”. This generates the visitor’s “mirror image” corresponding to the information supplied via its data network.

CApsule

project outline

2002

Capsule-Project ist ein im VR-Raum existierendes automatisches System. Die Ereignisse, die hier stattfinden, sind bestimmt durch die Algorithmen, der Benutzer kann das hier Geschehende nur beobachten. Der VR-Raum hier ist ein komplexer Raum; die hierarchische Rheinfolge von CApsule-Browsers und TimeCApsules, die induviduell organisierte Räume bilden.
CApsules sind kleine Kreaturen, die nur wenige Signale für die Beobachter von außerhalb ausstoßen.

CREATION OF REALITY

space Installation

2000


Der Gegenstand der Installation ist der Versuch, aus dem gewöhnlichen Akt der empirischen Wirklichkeit bzw. der Aufnahme des Raums auszutreten, auf solche Weise, dass man “Wirklichkeitsereignisse“ zustande bringt, so versachlicht sich der Prozess selbst, und er wird zum Kunstgegenstand.
