Descriptions & Essays
1000 PLATITUDES consists of large photomontages and one video documentary, which is shown on a plasma screen. Words commonly used to describe the generic globalized city; --each letter of the alphabet was projected on a different building using the World's most powerful projector (with 110,000 ANSI lumen intensity and images measuring up to 70x70 m). To realize this work, the projector was placed on a 12-ton truck with a diesel electricity generator. Public housing projects, shopping malls, government buildings, industrial wastelands and corporate headquarters were transformed by fast tactical projections from the mobile platform, under the radar of potential regulators. This project was made during the "Huge and Mobile" (HUMO) Workshop in Linz, Austria, with the support of V2 (Rotterdam) and the Ars Electronica Center (Linz).
