Victory Plaza, Dallas Texas
2 minutes looped
continuous starting 2007

An eye gazes out over the Victory Plaza mall from a large LCD screen, surrounded by blinking, flashing, animated artworks on other LED screens, some moving on tracks, all vying for attention. I wanted something quieter in the background that could captivate through contrast. I was thinking of FISA, the proliferation of security cameras, pilotless drone surveillance aircraft, and the culture of voyeurism, MySpace and YouTube.

From Victory Media Network: The Victory Media Network will be the first large-scale, outdoor digital arts gallery in the world. This modern Kunsthalle will be located in Dallas at the heart of Victory Park, one of the most significant new urban developments in the United States. Through its Victory Arts program, the Victory Media Network will provide opportunities for digital artists from across Texas and around the world to work and experiment with the finest video display technology available. Incorporated within Victory Plaza are eleven large, high-resolution LED screens. Eight of these screens - four on each side of the Plaza - will move along horizontal tracks to allow multiple configurations and motion possibilities. These Plaza Screens can also be combined in sets of four to create “Super ”with HD resolution.
