Collaborative Audiovisual Installations in Public Spaces
CIRCLE is a freeform series of events in Vancouver. The events are exercises in large scale collaboration, they have an
intention to startle, delight, suprise, confront the people of Vancouver. They are free events, and they are about bringing
people together to interact with and think about their city, and each other, in new ways. Many of the events are "place remixes" they are inspired by, reflect on,
and transform the place where they are installed.
But, why?
I wanted to get out and do something in Vancouver. I wanted to meet other people who like to do things, to make things.
Some public art was the inspiration, the anchor for the growing project. (See Circleman.)
My girlfriend and my brother thought it sounded like fun, so we started planning. We built three circular screens to respond
to the existing artwork and we rounded some people up from here and there and had an event.
A great time. People liked it and they liked the circular screens.
Making a projection screen in the shape of a circle does not seem like that big of a deal. But it is. You have to see it. The projections
are not video any more, they are not the rectangular tv screen or jumbotron screen, they are an element - a visual element with which
to build or transform an environment.
Peeroj and Henning and David liked them, and they built 2 more. We had five floating ethereal screens for the Garden Party.
Inge liked them, and she and her class of UBC master students built 5 more for TransScape. They are multiplying.
Where do you want to transform?
Join the circle.
