screenloops

screenloops is an art project which uses the high quality equipment of the surveillance mechanisms to deconstruct space and to make sensible of such mechanisms in our daily lifes in a playful way.

do it by yourself!
grap your smart-phone or a simple camera and your friends and conquer an underground-station, a supermarket or any public space that is "under control"...


for your realisation

3 steps


#1 find a site with more than just one camera and where you also have the screens in sight. Don't forget your smart-phone or your camera

pretending to phone


#2 make a short video




#3 load it up on youtube, tag it with screenloops and get a part of the community!! :-)
and/or send it to us on archiloop@gmail.com and we would be pleased to publish it for you on here as well






several hints

- if you want to hold any messages in the screens, be aware that they have to be mirrored

- avoid attracting attention and don’t disturb other people in their daily routine

- have a close look where the surveillance cameras are situated and which camera belongs to which perspective

undergroundstation U4/U6 "Längenfeldgasse" in Vienna
