Abstract:
This lecture will focus on the artist’s use of cultural narratives in non-linear media and the positioning and monitoring of the viewer as an active component/extension of the artwork. Artworks to be shown will consist of two recent interactive installations that integrate complex programming to keep track of the viewer’s choice history and moves as a decisive element in the narrative process.
Recent projects include an interactive installation about Stalinist newsreels in conjunction with the Hungarian Film Institute, Budapest, Hungary; and Tracing, an interactive installation that keeps track of the audience’s movements to determine audio and visual content in the exhibition space.
