bio
At night projections from moving cars are shone on the buildings
downtown. Each car projects a video of a wild animal. The animal's
movements are programmed to correspond to the speed of the car: as the
car moves, the animal runs along it, speeding up and slowing down with
the car. As the car stops, the animal stops. The frame rate of the
video corresponds to the speed of the wheel rotation, picked up by a
sensor. If the presence of a moving object (such as another car or
pedestrian) is detected with proximity sensors, its animal "avatar"
appears in the projection. The projection disappears and flickers as
it is supported by the architecture. The city itself is an active
partner in creating this alter ego. We are elevated from the everyday
reality through this element of fantasy into a world with more
dimensions, possibilities and perhaps beauty.
Karolina Sobecka works with interactivity, installations, video,
animation, and other new and old media. Her art and design are daily
attempts at making our world more beautiful and meaningful. Her
artistic interest is strongly stimulated by the advances in science and
technology.
Karolina was born in Warsaw, Poland, got her BFA from the School of the
Art Institute of Chicago, and her MFA in Experimental Animation and
Integrated Media from the California Institute of the Arts. She
currently lives in Seattle.
