It foregrounds how images "move" us today, both physically and psychologically, and how they are deeply connected to changing patterns of perception and embodiment. " "Drive moves toward a hybrid, post-cinematic language - one that has specific historical and political resonances." ------- Jordan Crandall "DRIVE" is a new image (on DVD) installation produced by Jordan Crandall, a New York-based media artist and theorist. Pursuing a new way of "moving image", he blends poetically a various kinds of image-languages developed in the 20th century, from traditional cinematic technologies - Super8, 16mm film and video, to new image media including motion tracking / monitoring technologies, monocular night vision, wearable video camera, thermal-imaging camera, and infrared scope. Different kinds of images are displayed simultaneously in different places in the whole installation space. The meaning of the title "DRIVE" is to set things going, and it also conveys many other meanings; mechanical, technological and psychological. In this work are shown not only a driving (moving) process intended by humans but also a reversed process of being driven by technology or desire. A "reversed" networking comes to exist in the world of subjects, where the action of seeing is changed to being seen by means of the advanced vision-sensors behind the subject through computer networks and databases. It shows us that a mechanism of grasping images has been changing. Drive was produced with the support of Neue Galerie am Landesmuseum Joanneum, Graz. (Curator: Peter Weibel) Additional support has been provided by Eyebeam Atelier, New York; Filmmakers Collaborative, New York; ZKM Zentrum fuer Kunst und Medientechnologie Karlsruhe. At ARTLAB-Prospect4, "DRIVE" is consisted of the selected images from the full installation shown in Neue Galerie, Graz(February-March, 2000). # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: majordomo@bbs.thing.net and "info nettime-l" in the msg body # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nettime@bbs.thing.net
