INSIDE Interactive Video Sculpture Installation

Ana Maria Gutierrez

"The mythical ideal of the Imaginary—as a primordial state of wholeness before the mind/body split which forms each of us an individual subject—is conceptualized as the experience in the womb when our mother’s body was co-extensive with our own."

“Inside” is an Interactive video Sculpture Installation that explores the body and mind in the ephemeral moment of creation. This Installation uses a few elements of the body as a site to bring forth the subconscious process of being brought back to this moment of detachment from reality and introspection of the “inside”, the womb.

This installation would not have been possible without the amazing help of Raphael Zollinger

Background
Trying to combine my background in Architecture and my interest in performance and interactive video

Audience
Everyone

Implementation
INSIDE is my attempt to study a human process, combining fine arts and new media, creating an installation for viewers to interact with and react to its physicality. I am trying to create a process that will combined my interest that breaks the rigidness of my architecture background and introduced me into a world of performance and interactive video.

“Inside” is an exploration of a specific physical and subconscious process that I am trying to translated into a physical expression. It combines the plastic arts and interactivity (sculpture sound and video), aiming to explore involvement with my personal mental and physical cycles and invite othes to do the same.


Conclusion
INSIDE is my attempt to study a human process, combining fine arts and new media, creating an installation for viewers to interact with and react to its physicality. I am trying to create a process that will combined my interest that breaks the rigid ness of my architecture background and introduced me into a world of performance and interactive video.
It’s a work in progress of combining technology and the materiality of the body and the mind that I look forward to further experiment with.
