LivingTomorrow (2005, excerpt) 2/6 dir. Linda Wallace

LivingTomorrow realises a territory of place and placelessness. "Displayed as three projections in the gallery, the imagery is composed of a kaleidoscope of green fields, blue skies, popular television and urban environments. These video fragments pivot in and around one another, alternating on each of the three screens. The imagery is cut up, mirrored, re-played and set into visual echoes across the space." (Victoria Lynn, from the catalogue essay)

LivingTomorrow is a database-driven video archive installation work produced as artist-in-residence at Nederlands Instituut voor Mediakunst, Amsterdam. It was launched on March 11 2005. There is subsequently also a single channel video work called LivingTomorrow: the episode, as well as a DVD installation version. This is more like a three screen immersive cinema, and presented new and other challenges to the original in which the narrative fragments can be, and are, seen in any order.
