DRIVING
THROUGH LAS VEGAS |
|
|
|
|
A single large scale projection of a daytime drive through
the main Strip in Las Vegas provides the basis for this simple
user-led work. Over the course of what appears to be a high
speed drive downtown, user/viewers are able to variously soundtrack
this 'movie' in which a camera was placed on the front of
a large white Buick that fleetingly recorded the passing casinos,
rollercoasters and re-creations of world landmarks such as
the Eiffel Tower, the Manhatten skyline or an Egyptian Pyramid. |

Part road movie and part
3D driving game, gallery visitors are able to use headphones
to plug into a grid of 32 jack sockets built into the monolithic
plinth placed squarely infront of the projection. Each socket
is a gateway to a possible soundtrack for these pictures -soundtracks
that are exclusively derived from existing internet radio
broadcasts such as, 'Classic Country Music','Asian Vibrations','Bible
Verses of Hope with Piano Music' or 'SF Bay Area Smooth Jazz.'
