Sampling # 12009 / Interactive Mobile Phone InstallationEva Paulitsch / Uta Weyrich In Cooperation with Philipp Contag-Lada  Since 2006, the two artists have been collecting films from mobile phones in the public sphere. It is the mixture of amateurish documentation of your own life, of a direct, unhampered view on your own reality, of unmotivated, unguided camera movements as the expression of boredom but also of directed little scenarios that aroused our collector's instincts. Paulitsch and Weyrich are accepting all films into their archive uncensored. This is increasingly developing into a fascinating document of our times, to a sort of evidence-gathering on and siting of the present. Above all, however, it resembles a bizarre album of weltering digital imagery. For the exhibition YOU_ser 2.0 in the ZKM | Media Museum, the two artists make their mobile film archive accessible for visitors via mobile tagging. The mobile films are concealed behind the colourful QR codes, which visitors can decipher with their own WLAN-mobiles or with the mobiles provided by the museum. In this way, the content of the films Paulitsch and Weyrich are collecting on the street and publishing on the Net returns to the private sphere and into the medium where they originate. The video blog serves to show new extracts from this archive and offers a platform to films currently being collected. · www.pw-videoblog.de Works of Eva Paulitsch and Uta Weyrich (Austria/Germany), who work together as artists since 2002, embrace the media film, sound and installation. Both of them mostly deal their subject beyond an institutional context. In public space they initiate situation, which claim for communication resp. interaction with the audience.  © Photo: Eva Paulitsch / Uta Weyrich Eva Paulitsch / Uta Weyrich, Sampling # 1, 2009, Interactive Mobile Phone Installation Technical Support and Advice: Philipp Contag-Lada www.7pc.de |
