Compass II, (pilot version) Kudos Gallery, College of Fine Arts, 4--9 June 2007

Compass II is an interactive new media installation environment constructed for interplay between audience members and its author. The installation consists of a marine compass and four screens that are aligned with the four major geographical directions (East, West, North and South). Made from canvas and a rectangular wooden frame, each screen resembles a propaganda poster ('agit-plakat'). Offering multilayered four‐channel projections, the work allows the audience to move between layers by moving within the space formed by the four screens and within themes and stages by turning the compass in the middle. Single‐channel video works are shown alongside raw material from which they have been composed. The audio includes revolutionary and traditional folk songs. The work as a whole explores the potential of visual, audio, audio‐visual, spatial and interactive montage to raise awareness of our joint responsibility for social change.

Really interesting and thanks for sharing this on youtube. It is not surprising that the navigation tool and screened experience doesn't work 100% in a movie format. "You had to be there" I suppose - but where's the "there"?
