Meet up around 8 p.m.

Interactive Video Installation

2019

Meet up around 8 p.m. incorporates audiences seated before a monitor as performers into the video. Audiences will perform as a member of a majority vote. Audiences are asked questions by the performers in the video, and the story develops with their inputs as they assert their opinion by raising their hand. In recent years, many commercial media arts and interaction systems have tried this format of expression, but often cause annoyance to audiences because they induce unusual and unnatural body movements. In this work, the artist focuses on raising hands, which is daily activities, in order to solve unnaturalness during interaction. Audiences can understand how to relate to this work through general, not personal, experience.

* This work was requested by the Cairo Video Festival held in Cairo, Egypt, and is a reproduction of the previously produced Meet up at 8 p.m..
