in conjunction to the japan austria year 2009, the installation “mashUp” featured an utopia like view of the streets of the city of vienna. by taking live video from a camera, facing a part of the famous “ringstrasse” and mixing it up with prerecorded video footage from real life shots and movies relating to the japanese culture, thus a virtual window develops itself, giving view on a city of mixed up architecture, inhabitants and feelings.
the installation was part of a group exhibition by the name “ca2jō” displayed in a glass cube, featuring entirely different artworks from 7 artists. “mashUp” was shown by a video projector on one of the glass doors facing the street. the live feed taking from the city scene was recorded by a camera that is connected to a windows pc. using the free processing software puredata made it possible not only to broadcast the feed to the projector but also overlay it with different footage located on the computers harddrive in realtime. the projection ran 24 hours a day, as long as the exhibiton lasted. the footage mixed in was displayed at random times, controlled by an algorithm, that took account of the current time of the day, though mixing daytime footage during the day and night time footage at night.

the velocity of new categories in the fields of art increases with every second. since long do the antique forms of public representation fall back, galleries, museums and other institutions deliver no adequate form of viewing works in real space, hence most of this works were developed and happen in virtual spaces. the “open_Art” project gives a possible solution to this problem. using computers and wlan networks as a medium to transport digital produced art to any visitor of a gallery or museum, by giving them the place in the real space, former occupied by pictures, scluptures or other traditional exposés, allowing the viewer full access with his personal computer or at several docking stations. this allows these antiquated institutions to follow up with the speed of the changing time and still leaving the visitor in the experience of witnessing art in a traditional surrounding.
