Fischli & Weiss
Peter Fischli & David Weiss, Der Rechte Weg (1983) (55 min.).
The wonderful ending scene of ‘Der Rechte Weg’ (The Right Way) where the rat and the bear discover music.
Steve McQueen
‘Deadpan’ by Steve McQueen (1997). Watch the video here (click realplayer or quicktime).
Reminiscent of a typcial Buster Keaton mise-en-scène, McQueen stages a deadpan humourous scene, where the house front collapses but leaves the figure mysteriously intact by leaving the window open.
Clip from Buster Keaton in Steamboat Bill Jr (1928). Watch the entire film here.
Nikki Koole
Nikki Koole, ‘Paterserfflat’ (2006)
Nikki Koole interviewed all the residents of the apartment building where he grew up, and recreated them as 8-bit figures, each programmed to live a normal day in its life. The virtual residents get up, walk the dog, have breakfast, go to work, get home, have dinner and watch tv at exactly the same times as their real-life doppelgangers. This application is beamed on a scale model of the actual building.
Karin Sander
‘Persons 1:10′, 1998-2001 by Karin Sander.
For 1:10, Sander invited people to be scanned in 3-D, from which a small plastic figure is made and then painted.
