===A Special Place=== | ===A Special Place=== | ||
The | Regarding the increasing development of urbanization and that the daily routine of many people is characterized by stress, capacity and constant medial influences, it has become quite interesting to me how places which have remarkable meanings for people look like. Where are these kind of places? Are they freely accessible? And what does one place they tell me about the person who chose it? | ||
Several people where asked to shoot a calm, short video of a place which has a special meaning for them. The reasons for why a place is regarded as special was the free decision of each person. | |||
The strongest impressions of the videos seem to be the demand for tranquility and quiet places. Therefore a patch was developed within Max MSP/Jitter which reflects this impression through a video installation. | |||
===The Video Installation=== | |||
A camera captures the movement of an observer. Only when the viewer stands calm in front of the installation, the video is shown at normal playback speed, otherwise the videos jump wildly between randomly selected frames. The viewer is forced to remain still to watch the videos undisturbed. | |||
