There's something that I'd like to share with the list since I'm working on
this idea about images which are somehow out of control and hence I'd love
to have some (practitioner to practitioner) discussion. Here it goes:
Last month I was kindly invited by Laboratoire Paragraphe, Université PARIS
8, to make a live performance of mine called Deriva (Catalan word for
"drifting"). The action began with a social situation in which a group of
people gathered in a public space and spent time together talking, laughing
and filling up a bunch of party balloons with helium. After a while, I took
a smartphone, turned on its GPS and activated an ordinary live audio/video
streaming application. When we had about a hundred helium filled balloons,
I attached the smartphone to them and let it go, up in the sky, out of my
control.
After we lost visual contact with them, we walked into a classroom, we sat
in front of a computer, opened a web browser and followed the live
streaming of the drifting smartphone as well as its trace on a map. After
we lost this virtual contact (probably due to restrictions of my prepaid
data sim card), I manipulated the resulting video file simply by inverting
the frame order, and here is the result: http://deriva.tv
Thank you for reading, watching and (perhaps) commenting.
Best wishes,
r.
