Travelling : Joëlle Bitton
Travelling The two cities have an architectural heritage that is permanently re-actualized. Tel-Aviv who is the very modern and vibrant economic capital of Israel holds more than 1,000 houses that were built in the twenties after the Bauhaus principles in an utopic movement. Berlin is the new ground for architects to express themselves with a strong experimental pattern. In this piece, the users starts travelling from left to right, moving the mouse cursor across the screen and can go back and forth, in strips within a panoramic format. If the user lets the cursor still on a strip for few seconds, a sudden opening gives a greater view of a picture, but it remains ephemeral. In a similar approach of coupling the cities, the user will hear two songs, representing two moments of the journey, contemplating the urban visuals. This web piece is the "light" version of a performance piece that was commissioned by the ICHIM festival and first presented in Berlin in August 2004. The piece is based on an original code by Alexis Nema. |
