Two video works by Julien Lassort

Some more work by artist Julian Lassort (again not documented in any way on his website, this comes from his Revver profile) which uses ideas of connecting / linking and networks, primarily mobile phone networks, expressed through video.

The installation Video Pong 1+1=3 (video below) shows a conversation of direct questions and responses between two individuals at a time, continually being remixed. Half of each participants face, the left or right, is displayed on screen and placed side by side creating a third ‘virtual’ person generated through the conversation and media which mixes it.

The video 1+1=3G (video below) is very similar to Video Pong 1+1=3 and uses the same audio-visual technique to a slightly different end. Here the artist himself is shown on screen twice in two different times collapsed as one video creating an interpretation of a conversation that never occurred. Half of the artists face, shown on the left, videophones the half of the artists face shown on the right and a conversation concerning the creation of a video for entry into the Pocketfilm Festival (this very video which is being created) takes place.
