Longue Durée, 2008

Installation by Angie Eng
and David Linton

Maison Populaire, Montreuil France

Eng and Linton have been working in a similar vain exploring experimental cinema and sound in the electronic arts scene in New York. This is the first collaboration between these two artists who have spent a life dedicated to observing, manipulating, pushing the limits of vision and listening. Here at Maison Populaire, they have combined their ideas of nomadic movement (Eng) with continual optical spirals (Linton). Change in the perspective of character, window, reflection of light, scale and mirroring are subjects at hand. The sensitive observer will notice the subtleties in the connection between image and sound which affects one another. Here lies the interactivity between the substances rather than the moving hand of the passerby. Using a simple set up of a digital camera, a moving glass ball, a computer with the software by Vidvox.net , and the feedback of the projected image, the viewer witnesses a process of remaking moving light and object.
