the daily practice of map making If at the end of your life, you could look at the shapes your wanderings over the earth have made, what patterns would you see? What words might be formed that take a human lifetime to write?

scanMemories scanMemories is an interdisciplinary art project that uses RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), databases and mobile and wireless technologies and. It opens a heterogeneous and direct access to the memories materialized in physical spaces and objects. The project examines how memory practices in death can be altered by information technologies. This includes the questions about how information can alter embodied relation with the materiality of memory objects and space, and how this can change the issues of identity and privacy about the dead. The main characteristics of the scanMemories system are: n The database is populated with media contents by those who want to share their lives after their death, or the bereaved who wish to cherish the memory using an online tool created for the project. n RFID tags are implanted in memory objects (such as tombstones or clothing) which serve as gates to access the memory database. n The information can only be accessed in the exact location where the RFID tag has been placed as the deceased wished, and it is retrieved by the people who the deceased wanted to share with. The people use wireless and mobile devices customized for the application. With our project, we explore how information technologies can alter our perception about the post-identity of the deceased and also our sensory relation with memory objects, and how they can produce complex meaning about the death and remembrance in a highly networked society.

Sakura, 2007 Digital video, colour, sound, 6:48 Sound: Jonathan Perl Sakura focuses on hanami in Tokyo, revealing people’s individual responses to the blossom. Collated from a week’s filming but edited to present a single day’s experience from morning until night, Sakura is a meditation on the integration of man-made technologies into the appreciation of a natural phenomenon already manipulated by human intervention. As a subjective digital edit of the blossom viewers’ ad hoc camera phone digital editing in action, veering between recording this behaviour and participating in it, Sakura creates a second subjective and initially transparent layer of remove between the viewer and the reality of the blossom.

We all fade away (2007) begins with a slow zoom into a still image of tourists, all gazing at something we cannot see (the photograph was taken at the Niagra Falls). Over time each spectator is blacked out as they are transformed into birds that slowly fly off into the distance. The animations are accompanied by an atmospheric soundtrack of beats and synths. The work is about death and loss – the rise and fall of human endeavor – but it isn't melancholic. Articulating an apprehension of our fragility and promoting a longer view, it unties by playing on our shared humanity and inspires a philosophic feeling of the 'bigger picture', a cyclical view of life from an alternative perspective. www.nishaduggal.co.uk |

Time_Space_Frames_Ginza will
align various architectural spaces that been photographed around the
Ginza Art Laboratory site, with the shutter of a camera. The windows and
doors of buildings will systematically shut in response to pressing the
shutter button of an old SLR camera. Through old and new photographic
technology, the relationship between the photographer's perception and
actions, the immediate surrounding environment and the time-space
continuum is interrogated.

Framing the Frame with Distance NaoKo’s work highlights the ambiguities and confusions of national and individual identities often played out through language. Focusing on issues of dislocation, re-location and representation in a multi-cultural, multi-lingual society, she explores processes of continual translation: from thought to voice, between one language and another, through one media to the next. Framing the Frame with Distance is a live performance in both linear and non-linear environments. Naoko uses live linked webcast projection to examine the paradox of virtual and actual spaces.

Re-presentations A city is both a geographical location as well as a collective identity that is often represented through architectural icons, tourist attractions, historic sites, public spaces, cultural institutions and popular locations. The images that get depicted through the news, in journals, in films, on websites, on postcards, and in the newspapers often become icons of a particular city, frequently illustrating a story, sometimes reaffirming a sense of place and overtime become part of the collective image of these locations. It is often through technologies that these locations are created and reaffirmed, while at the same time, these technologies allow one to experience locations while taking away a certain need to ever be at, inside or near the actual site. While in New Delhi, Maria started collecting images from local newspapers, searching specifically for architectural structures and the boundaries between locations, sites of interest or interaction. Choosing thread colours from the selected newspaper images, these representations were sewn onto paper, paying particular attention to the boundary where a site meets with another location or gets obstructed in the image. Through this process, gaps are formed in the selected site, giving the impression of an erasure or exclusion but also of a site currently being constructed. The newspaper image remains mostly hidden on the back of the drawing, leaving the viewer to see a reversed stitched outline of the way a particular site is represented and a sense of something lurking underneath with only the title (the picture caption from the article) as a direct guide.
