Documentation: © Constantin Kletzer, Gute Macher 2017 Under the umbrella 'Collage In The Age of Automation' — a term I introduced for my project in consideration and continuation of Walter Benjamins 'The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction' —, I showed a juxtaposition of two seemingly identical collages from the REVISITED series. Both however fundamentally differing in their coming into existence: While one was handstitched during endless hours of assembly line like work, the other was created with the help of a script. A juxtaposition posing questions about the 'Work of Art' in an increasingly automated world — cue: Stitching, rendering, machine learning, AI, etc. — in which script based processes 'assist and facilitate'.

THE CORE IDEA:
REVISITED started in late 2015 with a desire to question the medial parameters of 360 degree video, which as a practice began to establish itself more and more at that stage.

By creating an interactive media installation, I wanted to allow the audience to experience these differences first hand.
LEFT: The accordion book "Every Building On The Sunset Strip" by Ed Ruscha from 1966.
MIDDLE: The TV-screen in the center shows a realtime frame of the 360° video experience of the Sunset Strip I recorded in 2016, 50 years later. Defined by the spectator wearing the VR-headset who becomes the Director of Photography.
RIGHT: Four 360° VR videos of the Sunset Strip. In contrast to Ruscha’s photo collage, viewers of the video are given the power to choose the cutout that they want to see within the 360 degree environment. They define their own visual frame, but also the 360 cutout on the TV for everyone else.
