Swing

produced with Scotty Gorham

This work explores the relative spatiality and directionality of image through human/device interaction.  The viewer is asked to enter into the fantastic digital world of the swing video projection through the portal of the QR code by using a mobile device interface. The QR code scans to an animated gif hosted on the Wikimedia Commons.  The viewer is then able to download the "image-object" directly onto the mobile device, effectively pulling the object out of the image and reinstalling it into the viewing environment.  The Swing video is projected in large format directly onto the wall.
