Mobile video installation in public space: Location map |
In Vibeke Jensen's video installation night_watch a watchful eye gazes down at passers-by from various central location in Shanghai. Due to difficulties obtaining official permits we opted for a mobile solution in Shanghai, managing to project night_watch in prime public spaces from Pudong to People's Square. The piece is a dialog on the concept of monocular vision's referential linkings - safety, conspiracy and the mechanics of control. |
