Portal,
1999
3D animation/ video, 3 projectors,
15' x15' installation, sound piece
Portal was an artic garden installation. It
was made from white styrofoam which served as a backdrop for blue
lights and video projection. Three projectors were embedded within
sculptural forms while an artic sound scape permeated the small
room. Fans hanging from the ceiling blew small forms suspended
with invisible string.The projection was of two different looping
videos. These were created using both 3D animation (SoftImage)
and video footage of synthetic city spaces and abstract cellular
shapes. The video objects mirrored the iconic city and cellular
shapes from the 3D animation. The cheap installation materials
were meant to address the airless or virtual space carved and
created by 3D virtual space. |
