the art of projection [techtunoids]
"And then what makes the work interesting is if you choose the right questions" - Bruce Nauman
TECHTUNOIDS is an exploration of two different physical spaces that share the same purpose of interaction. The piece is a dissection of the infrastructure of deep-sea tuna farming within the architechtural/environmental space.
The spaces presented are divided into a two channel installation: one is the location on land and the other the location at sea. The footage converges in the corner of two walls emphasizing the common purpose of these places.
The movements of the camera imitate the way blue fin tuna swims (circle patterns) which is the way we are presented to perceive the interior/exteriors as well as the textures, colors, elements and sounds in the sequence.
Each sequence is cut when it has done at least 360 degrees, the speed varies from sequence to sequence for there is no intention for it to be perfectly systematic but to follow a pattern of movement and from the inside-out of the structures.
The sequence of the water carries the audio and it´s bigger than the frame in the right, for it is the reason why the other space exists in land.
The main interest of this piece is the exploration of the space, the interpretation or narratives that can be created around it and the relationship/interaction that takes place in these “landscapes” between the natural and the artificial.
This seminar was based on The Art of Projection, a compilation of essays curated by Stan Douglas as a retrospective of the history of projection, video and film art from the 60's to our time. The book came in tandem with a show in Berlin that exhibited all the pieces written about in the publication.
During this seminar we discussed the book compared with other readings along with screenings relevant to the argument.
Instructors: Stan Douglas / Walead Beshty
