ROBERT OCHSHORN: SCREENS
Control and illusion for the video interface
FotoForum i forbindelse med vores nye udstilling Rewriting Histories tirsdag, 10. november kl. 17-19 i Fotografisk Center (Bygning 55, Staldgade 16, 1699 Kbh. V.)
“Much like the stabilized video from military drones, which allow commanders to observe and interfere with unfamiliar territory from aerial vantage, A Little Bit More Stable takes the viewer above and outside the normal passage of motion picture time. The source material, a promotion for video stabilization software that has been commercialized from its military applications, depicts the stabilization of home movies and implies a similar steadying influence on the lives of would-be customers.”
Den amerikanske kunstner Robert Ochshorn (f. 1987 i Californien, USA) bor i Californien og arbejder som medie og computer forsker. Han arbejder med media interfaces for at udvide muligheder for menneskelig perceptuel og udtryksfulde kapaciteter.

Værkerne på udstillingen Rewriting Histories genbesøger historiske begivenheder og undersøger hvad receptionen af fortiden betyder for opfattelsen af nutiden. Ved at genfortælle historien på en ny måde og fra et nutidigt perspektiv, peger udstillingens kunstnere på historien som en – ofte ideologisk – konstruktion.
Rewriting Histories bliver vist i sammenhæng med CPH:DOX. FotoForum vil foregå på engelsk.
