  • Working at the Interface of Fiction and Function
    Working at the interface of fiction and function Peculiar machines tell old and new stories from Grisons (canton in Switzerland). With a combination of techno-fiction, poetry and documentary material about man and nature, four graduates from the department of New Media (SNM) create video installations in the garden of the Park Hotel Waldhaus in Flims to give an account of their understanding of media and authorship. By Niki Schawalder (text and image) * - Every night, shortly after nightfall, a water woman delves into the past of her age old life story and wandering along the bottom of the Lake Cresta, she gazes at the archaic-looking underwater world. Whatever she sees «materializes» as a projection on a 12-meter screen in the Wellness glass cube building of the hotel. Startled by the sound of steps of hotel guests passing by, the view of the water woman is interwoven with live video images of waves from the pool. The waves are generated by a self-built technical apparatus: sound waves from the steps are translated into waves in the water via microphone, radio, computer and a pneumatic device that is floating in the pool. The above describes the plot of a video work that I realized with Valentina Vuksić, Philipp Oettli and Oliver Wolf in the summer of 2005. When the Park Hotel Waldhaus in Flims commissioned the work, we were given free creative range (a «carte blanche»), which allowed us to draw on plentiful resources. At the same time it motivated us to attain that «video art, often tarnished as being too technical and difficult to comprehend, can come about in an enchanting and unpretentious manner» and «be a good example of how art can present itself to an audience incidentally: unobtrusive, leaving it to the observer whether he wants to engage in it in more depth or be enchanted by it or would rather rush by», as stated in the Südostschweiz (grisons daily newspaper).
