Dilate (2003)


Dilate is a panoramic video and sound installation which encircles the viewer with projection screens. The screens pan in and out of significant details of immersive 360 screens, reflecting how our shifting sense of self informs our perception of space and visa
versa.
"Faced with an open vista of a majestic natural landscape, we can feel liberated, isolated or paralysed; as part of the city, anonymous, identified or alienated; in the domesticity of our homes, safe, confined or overwhelmed; in a virtual network, empowered, remote or victimised." Dilate is dramatic and multifaced in its flow of images.I really like the sound of this installation and the way that the viewer becomes enclosed, surrounded by these panoramic views. This piece is also quite sculptural as it can be viewed from a distance and from inside the screens.
