Overview
Filmic forms are increasingly found outside of the movie theater. In terms of film and art history, spatial works with film can be related to the Expanded Cinema of the 1960s, but today they are based on new conditions: the digitalization of film, technology that has been reduced in size many times over, networked and almost ubiquitous screens, increasingly widespread virtual and augmented reality technologies, but also our habituation to moving images in everyday life and the resulting change in the ways we deal with media content.
The project “Moving in Every Direction” (MIED) examines current forms of artistic installations with moving images in the museum and in urban spaces in two artistic sub-projects. The project's questions include the extent to which artistic installations with moving images convey an experience that (does not) correspond to the viewing of conventional films, and which altered approaches artists have developed (in terms of spatial planning, narration and, if necessary, audience immersion) in order to plan and realize such installative film works. At the same time, the project documents its own work in the artistic research process in an act of self-observation. In this way, it aims to make a contribution to the fundamental and ongoing change in contemporary film and media studies, in which spatial paradigms are increasingly coming to the fore and artists' practice is being incorporated into theory formation.
The results have been presented in exhibitions and installations and published in written form.
