Compass II, 2003 - 2008
Multi-channel Interactive New Media Art Installation

Preview

Compass II is a performative new media installation art environment constructed for interplay between viewers and artist. The installation consists of a marine compass and four screens that are aligned with the four main geographic directions East, West, North and South. Made from canvas and a rectangular wooden frame, each screen resembles a propaganda poster (‘agit-plakat’). Offering multilayered fourchannel projections, the work allows the viewers to move between layers by physically moving within the space formed by the four screens and by turning the compass in the middle. Each layer shows a finished singlechannel video work alongside raw material from which it has been composed. The audio tracks include revolutionary and traditional folk songs. The work as a whole explores the potential of visual, audio, spatial and interactive montage to raise awareness of our joint responsibility for social change.
