*.scape

digital film 4:50 min – an embodied camera occupies disembodied realities. 

Literally and metaphorically, *.scape explores the limits of a current definition of space. The animation mimicks the camera angle of a Google Street View shot as an inquiry into the means of recording and localizing places, in order to give the audience the perception of an internet “no one – doing nothing – nowhere”. The animation’s camera is positioned at the centre of a layered, spherical projection that allows for any perceivable shot, from a specific point, of the 360 ° x 360 ° photographic image orbit. The results are eerie, fake and interchangeable “scapes” with no geographical focus, unlike Google; these „scapes“ result from a setup created from image search trips on the web, infinite numbers of spherical pictures could be created using the established method of mergine imagery into a continuous field without distinguishing between man-made and natural. Rather than recording the actual, the film generates poetic space without local horizons.
