PIVOT POINT – ICHIHARA
‘Pivot Point – Ichihara’ is an interactive site-specific installation. Standing on a controller pod you navigate over and through a 3D terrain where gravity seems to have disappeared, you gradually become tele-present in a parallel projected space by exploring a mediated version of the venue, it’s direct surroundings and the Ichihara region. A cinematic journey to a fascinating point cloud realm, precise in details but simultaneously abstract and dreamlike.The kidney shaped interface is covered with capacitive sensors and mounted on a pole, touching this interface right, left, up or down aims the virtual camera accordingly. When you release the navigation pole the virtual camera automatically starts spiralling back to the initial starting point your journey and temporary centre of the universe, the Asohbara Art House.

MARNIX DE NIJS

Acelerador
A instalação de Marnix de Nijs examina o equilíbrio precário da máquina, imagem e corpo no tempo e os efeitos que as forças aceleradas da gravidade têm sobre os cidadãos urbanos de hoje. Os participantes sentam-se em uma cadeirinha de carro de corrida presa a um braço giratório motorizado e se concentram em uma projeção de vídeo que circula simultaneamente com eles.
