german abstract :
So selbstverständlich wie uns täglich die Sonne leuchtet nehmen wir auch den eigenen Schatten als ständigen Begleiter kaum mehr wahr. Als reine Projektion unseres physischen Abbilds ist er nicht mehr als eine flache, farb- und körperlose Reduktion unserer Selbst.
Die Rauminstallation “skia” untersucht dieses eigenschaftslose Phänomen und spielt mit der Konvention von dessen Wahrnehmung. In einer Closed-circuit-Installation werden die Abbilder der BesucherInnen manipuliert und als künstliche Schatten wiedergegeben.
Was bedeutet es, wenn sich plötzlich der eigene Schatten von uns löst und ein fremdes Wesen entwickelt ? Und was hat ein solch rätselhafter, launischer Schatten mit den multiplen Identitäten des postmodernen Ichs gemeinsam ?
english abstract :
As natural as the daily sunshine, one’s shadow, formerly a constant companion, now often escapes from attention. A silhouette of our physical form, one’s shadow is no more than a flat, disembodied reduction of the contours of one’s self.
The installation skia examines the interplay of our shadows and our conscious awareness of our physical displacement of space. In this closed-circuit installation, visitor´s images are manipulated and projected as artificial shadows.
What does it mean if one’s shadow suddenly frees itself and develops an alien autonomy?
And what has such an estrangement in common with the multiple identities of the post modern ego?
KUNSTPLATFORM DE KAPSALON invited me to show my installation disc at the rotterdamse museumnacht 2010 in the centrum beeldende kunst in rotterdam on 6.3. 2010.
Wow ! This was a massive test for my installation and it survived without any damages. The new feature “the red button” rocked totally and the people used it more often then expected. I was super surprised and happy to see the people rockin my instrument. They loved it !! And i´ve experienced sounds and patterns never heard before from the disc.
i did some research on projection mapping technologgy and artists.

i attended a workshop in moddr lab in rotterdam about a fantastic tracking tool called gamuza
its a nice tool emanuele mazza created out of pre existing tracking technics.
he composed them in openframeworks – so its a fast tool with nice and easy user interface able to send specific tracking data via OSC to your appropriate client.
perfectly suited for artist who dont need to have a deep programming knowledge.
