Mexican-Canadian artist Rafael Lozano-Hemmer has come to town and is taking over the joint. He’s a lovely fellow who does things in kinetic sculpture, responsive environments, video installation and photography.
Firstly Underscan is happening on the North Terrace of Trafalgar Square, until Sunday.
‘The world's largest interactive video installation featuring over 1,000 interactive portraits.’
Basically there’s a massive rig of projectors beaming people in front of you. It’s a bit surreal, quite interesting and worth a detour should you be in that neck of the woods. Here we are. Appreciating.
Meanwhile, Frequency and Volume is happening in the Curve at the Barbican (Ronayne’s favourite hangout) until 18th January.
‘On entering the space, participants’ shadows are cast on the wall. Monitored by a video tracking system, each shadow tunes in to a radio frequency, changing channels as it moves around the gallery.’
Basically there’s lots of big shadows of the cats knocking about the place with accompanying radio chatter. It’s really lovely and definitely worth popping along to. Go. Go now.
