Phillip: analogue captcha

Type the two words

What if captchas get part of our analog world in case that there are just as much androids as real human beings on the planet?

Philipp: Smartphones in Movies

Smartphones in Movies

In this collection of images I will show how the understanding of particular movies would have changed using smartphones.
I will show that even using this modern technics can be a huge failure. Furthermore how Smartphones would have changed history if they played a major role back then.

Catalina: Miniaturized

miniaturized

I am what is around me - Wallace Stevens (fragment of the poem "Theory")

Durch den Gebrauch von Fotomontage verwandeln sich die alltäglichen Gegenstände in Landschaften, die miniaturisierte Personen enthalten. Die Menschen durchreisen die Dinge, sie erkunden sie, nähren sich von ihnen, leben in ihnen. Sie absorbieren die Gegenstände und lassen sich von ihnen absorbieren. Die Dinge ihrerseits werden lebendig und können auf die Subjekte reagieren.

Objects & Apparitions (fragment)
"Monuments to every moment,
refuse of every moment, used:
cages for infinity.  
Marbles, buttons, thimbles, dice, pins,
stamps, and glass beads:
tales of the time."
-Octavio Paz-

Georgios: Paper Interiors

Gymn Office

My personal interest during this semester lied in the complexity met in working environments. Architecture, facilities and equipment in working environments in many cases appear to be complex because of the apportionment of labor and the development of technology. The image of an interior does not always explains a lot about its character and sometimes perception is mislead

 ''I am what is around me - Wallace Stevens (fragment of the poem "Theory")

-Der Mensch nährt sich von seinen Dingen. Er nimmt Energie von ihnen auf und widmet ihnen umgekehrt auch einen großen Teil seiner eigenen Energie. Seit dem Anfang seiner Entwicklung ist der Mensch eng mit den Dingen verbunden. Sie haben ihm sein Überleben ermöglicht und ihm im Laufe der Geschichte seine technischen Bedürfnisse seiner jeweiligen Entwicklungsstufe entsprechend befriedigt.

-The uploaded pictures are photos of a paper model of a room and the model's actual dimensions are about 40 x 60 x 26 cm. This interior is part of a series of three rooms which are connected. The building of the model is still in progress and there are some parts (furniture, details) that are still missing. The idea behind this pictures is to make a video in this interior. The camera will be moving slowly into the space and at some point it will stay still for a while. All the changes in the video will be just very discrete movements of the object or changes regarding the lights, or some shadows (hints of human presence in space). In this video I will work with video tracking in the model and also with stop-motion technique.
-The idea is to create an interior space consisting of three different rooms, the attribute of which is not clear. I am interested in mixing different kinds of objects/ symbols in this office-like environment and present a juxtaposing view of it. I am particularly interested in expressing the uncanny element of architectural spaces and the transactions taking place in working environments.
