Patricia Klich’s audiovisual installation 22650 focuses on identity deprivation implemented on Auschwitz concentration camp prisoners. By choosing a claustrophobic dark space and using sound in her installation she breaks the distance which naturally occurs between the viewer and a photograph, facilitating deeper and more personal analysis of the captive situation and making it easier to empathise with the whole process of identity loss forced on a human being. The installation raises questions about identity, history, memories and post memories in the contemporary world.

wunderboxes
‘Wunderboxes is a temporary installation designed for the V&A Friday late programme “Archive Live” in the grand entrance hall of the V&A museum in London. Postlerferguson was commissioned to visualize parts of their research and the design team responded with an installation of differently formatted cardboard boxes each one housing a bright orange light box displaying a variety of three dimensional models to create an abstract but strangely familiar collection of “things”.
Spectators were encouraged to come closer and examine the partly hidden and camouflaged objects being drawn in by the warm and hypnotising orange glow of the boxes.
From a tiger attack helicopter to Han Solo in Carbonite – from a Lobster to the iconic “Nike Swoosh” the objects represent the designers divers interests and fields of research from science to popular culture.’ -

Ryoji Ikeda - data.film
‘A sculptural wall installation, data.film consists of a series of 35mm film mounted in a light box. The image on the film is constructed from microscopically printed data codes and patterns from pure digital sources, while the unusual proportions of the light box (4 cm high, 10 metres wide, 4 cm deep) create a long, narrow strip of film. Only upon close examination by the viewer can the film and its contents be recognised.
data.tron and data.film mark exciting new developments in Ryoji Ikeda’s datamatics series, a long-term programme of moving image, sculptural, sound and new media works. This body of work uses data as its theme and material to explore the ways in which abstracted views of reality – data – are used to encode, understand and control the world.’
