by Barbara Doser, edited by Hofstetter Kurt (c) Vienna 2005 "In Kolkata and
New Orleans, appr. 12 hours apart, video
cameras have been directed towards the sky and connected online to the
Internet. The
images from both cameras were constantly sent to two screens, where a
central circular field of one sky is superimposed on the other. Two
moons circulate around their fields and their position shows the local
time. The
realisation is based on the collaboration with Jadavpur
University
Kolkata and University of New Orleans using the respective
Sunpendulum Time-Eyes as well as the www-client software by Herbert
Schwabl and support by the Sunpendulum Kernel team.
C light pendula - sculpture: 2 screens [kolkata ||| new orleans] and [new orleans ||| kolkata] are embedded in steel frames. Respectively facing the opposite direction they are fixed on 2 parallel steel pipes and connected online to the Internet" (Hofstetter Kurt, 2004). / 2005 realized at the 'triennale india - new delhi' - austrian contribution / all rights reserved (c) Hofstetter Kurt, Vienna 2004 / 2005 / ff |
