Inhaltliche Beschreibung
Superbertams main feature consists in delivering live pictures from his close surrounding to the World Wide Web. For doing so, he is equipped with two moveable cameras, which are able to capture visual information at the size of 640 x 480 pixels with a frame rate up to 15 fps, depending on the actual connection speed. Their framing can be controlled by everyone through the easy-to-use web interface by simply clicking into the picture, their range of movement is 90 degrees horizontally and 50 degrees vertically each, which can create a quiet impressive panorama view.
While streaming without intermission, Superbertram preservers the seen at the popular online photo community "Flickr.com", his left eye does this in a predefined intervall, while the right eye is triggered by motion detection, posting whenever something funny or interesting happens.
These pictures are organised in set and collections, which you can access at the right side of the page.

Kontext
Statement
Superbertram works as an affirmative piece of art, which frees itself from the close boundaries of classical art reception. In pretending to be a product of the company "Super Surveillant Spectacle" he is willing to propagate supervision of all and everything, with a big smile. Surveillance issues and questions about selfreflection through media are addressed at the same time. Most time he stays with me, so serving as my reflector. The times he wanders around in public space, he points out matters of rights on everyone´s medial presence. He gets a lot of attention wherever he appears, because of his unusual funny shape resulting in a friendly charisma on the one side and because of his superior features on the other side, which come to surface after having a closer look at him. Some say he´s a bit spooky, referring to his movable eyes.
