Muscheidt, Boris2024-03-082024-03-082023https://irf.fhnw.ch/handle/11654/45015Black Box takes the form of an audiovisual installation, specifically of the interaction interface itself. The controller acts as an intransparent operative mechanism for accessing six individual and loop-based video works, which are then displayed on a vertical screen, while audio is transmitted via headphones. The series is segmented into pairs of two, with each pair representing a concept of perspective: into the medium, out of the medium and an outer view. The employed research method draws from artistic works, but also concepts of political theory and sociology that are seeking to analyse emergent forms of digital capitalism. The video works employ methods of live-action video, 2D animation, coding and sound design to illustrate various aspects of human-digital interaction. One central focus lies in displaying a novel form of alienation: creating a dialogue between the rational/neutral aesthetic of digitality and the irrationality of the human psyche along with the challenges of daily life.envideoinstallationinteraction designmixed mediaattention700 - Künste und UnterhaltungBlack box.
