Interface

Interface is a research in how interface is used in military warfare and is guiding our actions and our perception of situations. The video is made of recordings of military warfare and they are what soldiers "see" in warfare. They see the war through a screen that is also the spotting scope of the weapon used for military action. My intention with the video is to problematize how technology blends reality and virtuality, and especially how virtuality and interface is used in military technology to make it easier to act in combat. The dialogue on the video is very distanced and cold which strenghtens my point that the interface makes a mediated distance to the subject`s perception of reality. The video also documents how military operations are done in our time from the perpetrator`s point of view. <br><br> METROPOLIS ART PRIZE ENTRY 2009 <br><br> Watch all the Metropolis Art Prize entries <a href="http://www.babelgum.com/metropolisartprize">here</a>
