A series of 13 mini-installations, each taking a classic film as a starting point: Lost Highway, Stalker, 12 Angry Men, Vertigo, American Beauty, Shall We Dance, To Have and to Have Not, Nouvelle vague, Casablanca. Drawing from the cinematic legacy embedded in our collective consciousness, the installations assemble variations, not unlike musical improvisations, involving playback speed, interactivity, translation and localization. Select Web 2.0 technologies are used to create variations in the movies, with data processed through Flickr, Amazon and Google Street View. The network contains all possible images. An ironic tribute to the art of the previous century.
