Descriptions & Essays
Relational Architecture 3
RE:Positioning Fear was the third relational architecture project. A large scale installation on the Landeszeughaus military arsenal with a teleabsence interface of projected shadows of passers-by. Using tracking systems, the shadows were automatically focused and generated sounds. A real-time IRC discussion about the transformation of the concept of "fear" was projected inside the shadows; the chat involved 30 artists and theorists from 17 countries and the proceedings can be seen at the project web site http://rhizome.org/artbase/2398/fear/.
