The last half year I have been busy getting deeper into the material, the MobileEye footage. As I become more familiar with the material, I notice I’m increasingly liberated from considerations of a ‘scientific’ nature and can concentrate more freely on developing a visual language, which takes its outset in the original ideas and footage, but is also more ‘open’. I have been motion tracking a lot of the eyemovements, which allows me to use the data in other applications as well. This is a time consuming process, but one, that in the end will give me a great amount of freedom and control over the imagery and allow for much more visual experiments.
The first examples hereof are to be shown at GIST Gallery Amsterdam, Oct. 16th – Nov. 21st 2009 (see News). The show, Divided Landscape, is curated by Carolien Stikker, who has invited artists who work with vision and perception, to show works alongside her. There will be an essay on the subject by Mariska van den Berg.
Due to the method I have developed to create the images (multiple screenshots combined in Photoshop), they are almost impossible to scale. The originals vary in size from 150/100 cm to 18/13 cm. The images below don’t do justice to the detail, but may give a general impression.
