Winds Across the Inner Sea – John F. Simon
threshold (2007, 4.4MB, 2:56 min.)
This body of work by John F. Simon was shown in September 2007
in a solo show at the Gering & Lopez Gallery in New York City.
Playing between instinct and idea, this series of large-scale compositions
combine laser cut Formica and LCD screens with endlessly changing software.
Each composition merges the physicality of the material world with the fluid
inner world of code. The LCD screen functions simultaneously as a visual element
of the surface and a window into the system’s evolution.

Under Scan by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer
Under Scan (2005, 31MB, 9:51 min.)
“Under Scan” is a public art installation based on self-representation.
Thousands of “video-portraits” taken in Derby, Leicester, Lincoln, Northampton
and Nottingham are projected onto the ground; at first, the portraits are not
visible because the space is flooded by white light coming from a high-powered
projector. As people walk around the area, their shadows are cast on the ground,
revealing the video-portraits in short sequences.
