Video installation

Video installation is a contemporary art form that combines video


technology with installation art. Installation art is an artistic genre of
three-dimensional works that often are site specific and designed to
transform the perception of a space. Video installation makes use of all
aspects of the surrounding environment to affect the audience.

N building
N Building is a commercial structure located near Tachikawa station amidst a
shopping district. Being a commercial building signs or billboards are typically
attached to its facade which we feel undermines the structures identity. As a
solution we thought to use a QR Code as the facade itself. By reading the QR
Code with your mobile device you will be taken to a site which includes up to
date shop information. In this manner we envision a cityscape unhindered by
ubiquitous signage and also an improvement to the quality and accuracy of the
information itself.

Seven Screens Osram Art Project 2010, Munich

multiple combinations of the past centurys visual memory within one
