Jim Campbell's memory works


Memory Works-- Here is some photographic work that is displayed in a digitally interactive interface. The apparati (chip and sensors) controlling the interactivity are in the box below.  I referred to this work a couple weeks ago in class. These are by Jim Cambell who lives in the SF Bay Area.

They look like two plates of glass sealed together with some gas in the middle (I think). They are super fascinating and beautiful. I saw the one above, which is from 1995, and is a portrait of his mother. When you try to get close to it, the image appears to blur (can't remember if it fogs up or what.

Jim Campbell has a website here with more information and images.

    I think this is the technology he uses on the glass.

    The video is subtitled, which is good because you may want to turn off the sound. The soundtrack is hilariously inappropriate for the video.
