Installation/Performance: 2 modified vcrs, 2 beamer, minicam, microphon, translucent screen
The installation contains a surveillance camera which monitors the room. The picture and sound is delivered to a VCR which is connected to a videoprojector broadcasting the events simultaneously. From this VCR (set to record mode) the tape rises through the installation room to a second VCR (set to play mode), broadcasting the events time delayed because the tape needs time to travel from one recorder to the other.  The distance between the recorders (in this case 21 feet) determines the time delay (in this case 7 minutes). The installation compares the analog speed of the rising videotape (approximately 45 inches/min) with the digital speed (approximately 300,000 km/sec) of the image being recorded. The different pictures, taken from the same camera at the same time, are sandwiched into a single projection. The overlapped images and sounds contrast only by means of seven minutes. Thus the visitor sees and hears his recorded behavior both simultaneously and time delayed in a single projection.
