Under Scan | Lozano - Hemmer
[ English ]
Mexican electronic artist Rafael Lozano - Hemmer has some interesting Projects on his site. One of the ones that caught my eye was UNDER SCAN, a large-scale public art project commissioned by the East Midlands Development Agency in England. Thousands of "video-portraits" taken in Derby, Leicester, Lincoln, Northampton and Nottingham will be projected onto the ground of the main squares and pedestrian thoroughfares of these cities. At first, the portraits will not be visible because the space will be flooded by white light coming from the world’s most powerful projector. As people walk around the area, their shadow will be cast on the floor, revealing the video-portraits. The short video sequences begin with the subjects in a still position turned away from the camera. As they appear within pedestrians' shadows, their bodies move and their heads turn to look straight at the pedestrian, potentially giving rise to an interesting range of interactions. When a shadow moves away from a portrait, the portrait likewise reacts by losing interest and looking away.

El artista Mejicano, Rafael Lozano - Hemmer tiene una variedad de projectos interesantes en su website . Ono de los que me llamo la atencion fue UNDER SCAN, un proyecto de arte público encargado por el East Midlands Development Agency en Inglaterra. Miles de "video-retratos" tomados en Derby, Leicester, Lincoln, Northampton y Nottingham serán proyectados en el piso de las plazas y calles peatonales de esas ciudades. Inicialmente los retratos no se podrán ver ya que estarán borrados por la intensa luz proveniente del proyector más potente del mundo. Según camine la gente, su sombra será proyectada en el piso "descubriendo" los retratos. Las secuencias de video comienzan con los sujetos viendo hacia un lado. Según aparecen dentro de las sombras de los transeuntes, los retratos se mueven y voltean hacia ellos directamente. Cuando una sombra se retira de un retrato automáticamente el retrato se gira para mirar a otro sitio.
