“Björk is among the first musicians to employ virtual reality as a medium. Debuted in March at MoMA PS1 and select record stores, the first installment of Björk-reality arrived as a 360º music video for “Stonemilker,” the opening track off her newest album, Vulnicura(One Little Indian). Just this past week, Björk released the music video on the web, which you can now view thanks to YouTube’s 360º video.”

“…a real-time interactive software system that presents playful, dreamlike, and uncanny transformations of its visitors’ hands. It consists of a box into which the visitor inserts their hand, and a screen which displays their ‘reimagined’ hand—for example, with an extra finger, or with fingers that move autonomously.”

“This work is constituted by a white pedestal on which there stands an LCD colour monitor connected to computing machinery by a cable running through the pedestal. The viewer of this work picks up and holds this monitor in his hands. The screen shows a representation of the pedestal with a computer-generated image of a golden calf on top. By moving the monitor around the actual pedestal the viewer can examine this golden calf from above and below and all sides. Thus the monitor functions like a window that reveals a virtual body apparently located physically in the real space.”

We are proposing an design fiction installation which allows participants to experience an updated vision of the dystopias presented in science fiction stories like Vonnegut’s “Harrison Bergeron”. Viewing current models of remote communication as a space where Vonnegut’s idea of ‘equalization’ presents itself, our installation simulates the experience of remote communication in a setting where that feature has become normalized. By giving the audience the opportunity to experience use of the technology, we hope to complicate this future vision in a way that a linear narrative wouldn’t be able to; a way that doesn’t present assumptions about whether or not the technology is good or bad.

“Thousands of portraits, taken on the streets of the cities where the project is shown, are projected on a giant screen or façade using elevated robotically-controlled projectors. However, the portraits are completely washed out by powerful xenon light sources placed at ground level. When people cross the square their shadows appear on the screen and the portraits are revealed within them.”
