VIDEOCTRLROOM 2006 | VIDEO INSTALLATION  


PRODUCTION  
Man-at-Sea + Artereazione



OVERVIEW
videoCTRLroom is the information sorting center of the urban video control system. A postmodern panoptic where we discover to be watchers and watched, victims and offenders, integral part of a well-oiled mechanism of oppression.
The audience is filmed by hidden infrared cameras set on the perimeter of the venue: in front of the building, at the entrance, on the staircase and in the same room of the installation. The images of the audience alternates with noise effects and other videos discovered and stolen from the webcams of unaware Chatroulette users. The video inputs are managed through VVVV which send them to the installation: a PVC tubes structure embedding 4 or 6 screens made up with the same tubes.
