Description

Re:Positioning Fear was an online project and large-scale installation on the courtyard facade of the world's largest historic armory, the Styrian Armoury, in Graz, Austria. Shapes of passers-by were projected on the building facade and filled with documentation of an online discussion featuring international artists, theorists, and critics exploring the transformation of fear from Medieval to present times.

RE:POSITIONING FEAR was the third relational architecture project. A
large scale installation on the Landeszeughaus military arsenal with a
"teleabsence" interface of projected shadows of passers-by. Using
tracking systems, the shadows were automatically focused and generated
sounds. A real-time IRC discussion about the transformation of the
concept of "fear" was projected inside the shadows; the chat involved 30
artists and theorists from 17 countries and the proceedings can be seen
at the project web site.
