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.
