Daniel Sauter from the University of Illinois at Chicago and Fabian Winkler from Purdue University discuss In
the Line of Sight, a light installation that uses 100 computer-controlled tactical flashlights to project low-resolution video footage of suspicious human motion into the exhibition space. Each flashlight projects a light spot on the wall. All flashlights combined create a 10 by 10 matrix representation of the source footage, featured on a video monitor in an adjacent part of the gallery. In the Line of Sight is an artistic exploration of low-resolution video projections exploring electronic images, not as simulations of reality but as objects anchored in the physical space.
It's not art, it's the first stages of a system of control.
