Video Network #1: Dialogues is a two channel networked video installation conceived and created by artists Garrett Lynch and Frédérique Santune. It is the first work employing a prototype video networking system that allows the creation of works which are cinematic in nature yet break away from fixed linear narratives to explore concepts such as montage, collage, mixing, rhythm, looping, non-linearity in combination with simple interactivity in real time.
The installations networking system employs a combination of reverse engineered inexpensive consumer electronics and custom hardware to enable devices such as DVD players, monitors, video cameras, projectors etc. to communicate, in effect network and influence each other.
Video Network #1: Dialogues specifically investigates ideas of exploration, mapping and translation.
From the author:
"Each artist conceived of an exploratory video of the locality of the other. Two separate video works based on ideas of place, appropriation, exploration, walking, performance, rhythm and opposites (or binary); male and female, Irish and French, night and day etc., were to be created in isolation. Within the installation these videos are connected to each other by the video networking system, playback of each video is controlled by the other based on rules / patterns defined within that work. While the video work is a playback of the audio-visual documentation of the original walking performance it also functions as a non-linear extension of that performance which explores the space/time of the media which contains it."
