PROJECT «•»

Statement

Dune & Devil are working on the project «•» since 2003. The general idea explores a space- and timebased phenomenon through communicational technoculture. To find a starting point we overlayer the outlines of Tokyo and Vienna. The aggregation of «•» applies different structures like global positioning system, audioviual media, mobile technologie, telecommunication and code to experience the stereotopographical synchronisation of two individuals in different urban zones. The project produces a sociographical disposition of a mixed reality which can be observed through the interface of dune-n-devil.

Theorie / Forschung

Public space is constantly ehanced with new infrastructures of communication such as GPS, wireless internet, telecommunication protocols, location based services, mediatectures and many more. This modification of reality happens through the new possibilities of information-technologie, interface-culture and interaction. The basic goal of the communication based sychronization-system «•» is tracking digital processes in two different cultural situations (vienna & tokyo) through two different observers (Dune & Devil), and to merge this into one sensation. We are trying to translate this spatial experiment under the condition of a social application in a creative process of constructing new ways in media and art. Dune & Devil will incribe themselves into these connected, synchronized, totally different realities. This change of perspective through individual selection, dependent on the attention and the cross-link of these two realities, explain how space andt time are related to the observer and the system of observing.
