在世贸中心奥库拉斯(The Oculus)覆盖了21块大型屏幕。
对于艺术生产基金会的视频艺术项目的第三次展示,他们委托了Shantell Martin创作一部特定场所的视频作品。这部视频作品出现在Westfield世界贸易中心的21块不同尺寸的屏幕上,其中一块高达四层楼,另一块长达280英尺。Martin的这项新作品探索了我们经常问自己的一些问题和重复问题:你是你自己吗?你是否真实?你是谁?你就是你?同样的问题变体在整个作品中不断重复,并以微妙和更深刻的方式引起观众共鸣。
作品有意引发观众反思和考虑,无论他们是在去上班还是回家的路上穿过中心。这些插图是由Martin在数字平板上设计的,并由合作者Optical Animal收集和制作动画。
“世界贸易中心大多数时候是我回家的路线,这些是我经常在这个空间里思考的想法,现在这些想法将会在屏幕上可见。” - Shantell Martin.
Taking over 21 large scale screens throughout The Oculus, World Trade Center.
For Art Production Fund's third installment of their video art program, they commissioned Shantell Martin for a site-specific video piece. The video work appeared on Westfield World Trade Center’s 21 screens of varying sizes, with one measuring four stories tall and another 280 feet long. This new work by Martin explores some of the questions and repetitions we find ourselves asking: Are You being You? Are You being true? Who are You? Are you YOU Permutations of the same questions are repeated throughout the work and resonate in viewers in both subtle and more profound ways.
The work intentionally plants questions for viewers to reflect upon and to consider as they pass through the center whether heading to work or on their way home. These illustrations were designed by Martin on a digital tablet and were collected and animated by collaborator Optical Animal.
“The World Trade Center is my route home most of the time and these are the thoughts I've had in the space often that will now be visible on the screens.” – Shantell Martin.
