This video installation brought humanistic, nostalgic and kitsch aesthetics, simply by placing the analogue TV between items of domesticity. The way that the chords were set up played with the ever-present task of the artist having to hide the electronics of a video installation - here they were extended and wrapped around the room. The “invisible” quality that we pretend of the electronics/chords is highlighted instead.
The installation of this is amazing and very inspiring. She has used video to accentuate the work rather than the installation accentuating the video. Really cool work about beauty in modern society.
This technology is blowing my mind. It seems like he has mapping projections and AI data making 3-dimensional structures in real space. Its hard to see through video what is projection and what is tangible. I’m very curious to find out what techniques and technology he uses.
Privileging difference rather than singularity and movement rather than stasis, Anadol faces all the new challenges that the gradual development of an enriched immersive environment and ubiquitous computing impose on architects, media artists and engineers. How is our experience of space changing, now that digital objects ranging from smart phones to urban screens have all but colonized our everyday lives? How have media technologies changed our conceptualizations of space, and how has architecture embraced these shifting conceptualizations? These are the three main questions that Anadol tackles by not simply integrating media into built forms, but by translating the logic of a new media technology into spatial design.

I am interested in the dichotomy between the virtual and the real world especially in the idea of memory. This idea of tangibility, collection and memory has been influencing me.
This work at the VCA grad show showed really mundane hyperrealistic videos of everyday occurrences and installed them on school tables in an interesting arrangement that exemplified this.
Little did I know, my favourite film titles director and graphic designer, Saul Bass, actually made a few movies in his time and they are warped and beautiful.
I went to this exhibition… it was ok. But i really loved the Virtual reality making of film, and was really engaged with the idea of being bodyless/a floating body in space in Virtual Reality. I have been very intrigued by this before, but i think i would like to work on this further. It brings a strong physiological sense of motion sickness or feeling of wrongness in your body that is intriguing. I would love to explore this idea further along with the VR technology.
Her work uses the body, the female body, colour and the ritual or task. You get a real sense of reflexive mimesis in these works when she nears the cutting point. The multi-screened installation of her work is paramount and brings together the repetition, uselessness of the act, and the element of surprise in the echo of the videos.
