Shadowed by Images Rafael Lozanohemmer and the Art of Surveillance

Under Scan

Relational Compages xi

Nether Scan is an interactive video art installation for public infinite. In the work, passers-by are detected past a computerized tracking organisation, which activates video-portraits projected within their shadow. Over one chiliad video-portraits of volunteers were taken in Derby, Leicester, Lincoln, Northampton and Nottingham by a team of local filmmakers. For its London presentation in Trafalgar Square, Tate Modern filmed over 250 additional recordings. As people were free to portray themselves in any way they desired, a broad range of performances were captured. In the installation, the portraits appear at random locations. They "wake-up" and establish eye contact with a viewer as soon equally his or her shadow "reveals" them. Equally the viewer walks abroad, the portrait reacts by looking abroad, and eventually disappears if no 1 activates it.

Every 7 minutes the entire project stops and resets. The tracking arrangement is revealed in a cursory "interlude" lighting sequence, which projects all of the calibration grids used by the computerized surveillance system.

The slice was inspired by representation en abîme, where the portrayed make center-contact with the viewer, - as found in works by Jan Van Eyck, Parmigianino, Velázquez or Leon Golub. Other references for this work include the post-photographic device described in La invención de Morel, written by Adolfo Bioy Casares (1940) and the ghostly portraits created by Gary Colina, Lynn Hershman-Leeson, Paul Sermon and Luc Courchesne.
