“I'm an eye. A mechanical eye. I, the machine, show you a world the way only I can see it. I free myself for today and forever from human immobility. I'm in constant movement. […] This is I, the machine, manoeuvring in the chaotic movements, recording one movement after another in the most complex combinations. Freed from the boundaries of time and space, I co-ordinate any and all points of the universe, wherever I want them to be. My way leads towards the creation of a fresh perception of the world. Thus I explain in a new way the world unknown to you.”
The Kinoki-Pi-Project is seeking for a medial interface between esthetic meditation and systematic surveillance of society. Therefore we will create and use different artifacts to deal with the meaning of visual observation in urban spaces and landscapes.
The Project is based on the Idea of the Kinoglaz described by Dziga Vertov in the quotation at the beginning. The mechanic Eye of an Camera as an objective perspective on an environment detached from the bodily limitation and capacity of the human and the [panopticon] as the perfect apparatus of social surveillance Michel Foucault describes in „Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison”
