Nå av da (Now by Then)<br />

10 feet x 10 feet x 20 feet<br />

Interactive video installation using custom software<br />

ARTIST STATEMENT<br />

The present is a product of the past. This idea is illustrated by an<br />

enchanted mirror that reflects the present as a multifacted image<br />

mosaic made from images captured in the past.<br />

The installation is continously evolving. The set of images used to<br />

construct the current experience is composed of earlier encounters.<br />

This makes every participant a contributor to future experiences.<br />

TECHNICAl STATEMENT<br />

The installation consists of a projector, a camera, a computer, and<br />

software that maintains the puzzled mosaic.<br />

When the software detects motion in the scene (monitored by the<br />

camera), an image is stored in a database and split into rectangular<br />

subimages. A list of the subimages that have changed since the last<br />

generated mosaic is created. The database is then asked for a list<br />

of full-scene images that correspond to the changed subimages. To<br />

further speed up queries, infrequently used images are periodically<br />

purged from the database.
