Window is pleased to announce the debut of its physical and web exhibition programs for 2004. Window is an artist-run interdisciplinary project based in Auckland, New Zealand. It operates in a double configuration: the Internet-based OnLine, and OnSite in the foyer of the General Library Building, University of Auckland. Window is pleased to announce the debut of its physical and web exhibition programs for 2004. Window is an artist-run interdisciplinary project based in Auckland, New Zealand. It operates in a double configuration: the Internet-based OnLine, and OnSite in the foyer of the General Library Building, University of Auckland.

Beginning with a 3D virtual work by Sean Kerr and a video installation by Fuyuko Akiyoshi, Window represents an attempt to extend both OnSite and OnLine spaces for the display of ideas and as sites for the catalyst of experimentation and discussion.

OnLine: POGO / Sean Kerr
Shockwave 1.11 MB - Fast connection recommended
With an unconstrained virtual camera, Auckland artist Sean Kerr's new work POGO surveys a solo figure like a target in the third dimension, switching rapidly between an odd array of camera angles that fleetingly catch curiously intimate perspectives of polygon mesh: a close view of the back of the neck, a look just behind the ear.
Employing an a-rhythmic animation and infinite repetition of sound and subject, POGO maintains a line somewhere between the playful and the paranoid. A tension exists between its feel for the whimsical and the suggestion of an anxiety bound in the surveillance possibilities of digital space.

OnSite: Miss The People We've Never Met... / Fuyuko Akiyoshi

Single-channel video and projection
In the interval between reach and grasp, the moment before an experience of the world becomes inviolable, there is a space of hesitation; of pleasure, fear, anticipation, grief...

Fuyuko Akiyoshi's juxtaposition of cinematic image with material process - drawing, rubbing, scratching, layering - produces video art that occupies the intimate space of the-moment-between.

Miss The People We've Never Met, Miss The Places We've Never Been To, Miss The Life We'll Never Have is a silent cacophony of short narratives, an accumulation of voice and text that adds up to something oddly simple: a quietly moving, cinematic poetry.

23 March - 30 April
