PICTUREPEOPLE is an independent artistic (monthly) e-mail project by Rüdiger Heinze (writer) and Kristofer Paetau (visual artist) without any commercial purpose. It concentrates on the human representation in found amateur photography. The photographs become part of fictions – due to their re-contextualisation – and reveal different phenomena in human representation, interrogating mainly cultural and social issues, thus making connections to other fields of representation.
»A Propósito« (1997) consists of a sculpture of 120 stolen car stereos obtained on the black market, and a looped video projection documenting the artists stealing a car stereo.
»Jedbangers« (1998-2002) deals with the sub-culture of headbangers in Mexico City at the same time as it becomes an allusion to ancient transcendental practices. The video projects onto a screen sitting on top of a wall of speakers that constantly emanate white noise. Both projects by Yosuha Okón.
Interactive, multiple installations made up of various locations, distant from each other, coordinated across the mobile phone network.
»Programmed machines, partial vision« (computers,cables, silicone). By Maurizio Bolognini .
“Park View Hotel” by Ashok Sukumaran. Using specially-built pointing devices, audiences in the park can access interior hotel spaces, by “pinging” them optically. Once found and hit (two different modes on the scope) the interiors release their properties into a wireless network… the color of the interior propagates stochastically, leaking out of the building skin, jumping across the street, and entering some street-lights in the park below.
»house-birmingham« was constructed between the 10th and the 21st of May 2004 in the middle of Centenary Square in Birmingham. Over a period of twelve-days a group of builders aided by student apprentices from the CITB / National Construction College and South Birmingham College simultaneously constructed and deconstructed a series of house shells reminiscent of two interlocking terraces. Five metres high, they were juxtaposed via a rotational symmetry and built from lightweight cellular concrete blocks, involving a new fast-bonding dry-assembly construction technique. By completion of the project, two separate terrace structures had been built in the same place at the same time. By Wolfgang Weileder.
“Homeless Lamp, the Juice Sucker”, flourescent light bulbs, fixtures, wheels, street outlet and electric energy by Ivan Navarro.
»Kymlinge« (2002) is a research and consultation project by Jan Aman, Micke Daun, Angelo Plessas and Andreas Angelidakis on new ways of developing towns in Sweden. A model of simulated organic growth is proposed, in part inspired by strategy and RPG games: Begining with the installation of low cost raw »industrial« spaces that would attract young people with the ikea energy to fix them up. This demographic would start-up a new area of Stockholm, creating at first a solution to the housing problem, and leading into the area gradually becoming a »cool« destination inside the city.
“Lighttypewriter” – the 264 light bulbs on the building could be controlled by 264 light switches on the street. By Constantin Luser.
»10 yards of…« is a series of small gardens and forests placed in recycled refuse dumpsters. »10 yards« refers to the payload capacity of each dumpster. Once constructed, these gardens can be installed with relative ease in any urban location; just as easily, they can be picked up by truck and moved to a new location. By Michael Bernstein.
»Lignes d’air« is an urban furniture installation by Dominique Leroy that captures vibrations while creating new acustic habitats.
