Tina Gonsalves: CHAMELEON – prototype 8
10 – 15 August 09 – exhibition open: 3 – 5pm
Tina Gonsalves’ residency is now in its second week, and there are some spectacular experiments appearing in the Lighthouse basement spaces… Working with two types of screens, Tina is playing with space and bodily relationship to her video work, recognising the importance of the body’s place in emotional experience.
Both the work with Experientae Electricae and with the Solent Rapid Prototyping Lab have created opportunities to site Chameleon’s interactive videos in relation to bodily space. They have also produced some exciting and captivating images, drawing in the viewer not only bodily but visually and aurally, using a multi-sensory allure, that is possessing and ultimately emotional on a base physical level. The PIXY screens are especially alluring, appearing like hundreds of fireflies in an intelligent mass attempting to communicate with humans with a deep visceral pulse.
The space will be open between 3 and 5pm for people to come and view and interact with the video pieces. Tina and the creative team are here, and will be around to talk to about the work.
There will be a closing residency talk by Gonsalves and the creative team on Saturday 15th August at 3pm, where the team will discuss the progress they have made and the lessons learnt in developing, programming and using the screens. There will also be an opportunity to interact with Chameleon and the PIXY and rapid prototyped screens.
