It was the first project we developed in
the frame-work of zeitgenossen.com. The central idea was to
combine web-specific art and media theory. This went along with
the intention to describe our present.
Formally we worked on the synchronicity of
image and sound, the construction of depth perception and the
”menu-free” screen.
IDEA
IMAGINATION
PANORAMA
DISTANT HEAT
The different fields were audio-visually
merged and the resulting surface became part of an overall
concept. At that point we got the idea of a specially generated
dramaturgy of information for the World Wide Web. This concept
was then further developed over the years and we came to the
conclusion that it is the construction of coherent actions that
provides sensuality and suspense.
The surface got much attention and the
main question was, how to create a maximum on sensual use. We
generated the ”Star”, which, as long as it is
closed, maximises the screen optically, which gives the
projects the appropriate space.
