networked video installation
5 lcd panels
This video installation extends the development of untitled [] into a spatial environment organized through movement, orientation, and distributed vision. Installed at the corner of the gallery at eye level, the work consists of five networked LCD panels arranged as a continuous but broken visual field. The central screen carries a steady forward trajectory through wooded terrain and distant hills, establishing a directional axis within the installation. Around it, the adjacent screens produce lateral motion that moves inward and gradually folds into the center, drawing peripheral image flow toward the main line of travel.
Rather than functioning as secondary views, these surrounding panels operate as converging visual currents that reshape how the viewer registers space, motion, and alignment across the installation. The work does not offer a single stable viewpoint, but builds a field in which forward movement and sideward drift remain in active relation. Spatial continuity is approached here through fragmentation, overlap, and the redistribution of attention across multiple screens.
Developed from untitled [], which worked with repurposed Google Street View imagery, GPS-traced movement, and participatory memory layers, this installation shifts those concerns from interface-based interaction to embodied spatial encounter. Networked video playback replaces direct user navigation, placing orientation, pacing, and perceptual adjustment at the center of the work. The installation treats the screen environment as a site where landscape, motion, and distributed visual systems are reorganized through the viewer’s physical presence in space.
