Media art Zeit-Slice

Interactive Installation

The Goethe-Institut, in collaboration with the Quartier des spectacles Partnership, is proud to present two works by the inventive research and design studio from Berlin: The Constitute.
 
After presenting their work in many international settings, from Germany, France, the US and China, The Constitute, known for such innovative works as Human Beeing and EYEsect, comes to Montreal for their first visit to Canada. The Constitute has created a specially commissioned work for the Goethe-Institut, Zeit-Slice, to be experienced outside by way of an interactive window projection connecting the cities of Berlin and Montreal. Zeit-Slice instantly connects us to three places in Berlin: Hermannplatz, Pannierbrücke and Müggelsee. By controlling the window touchscreens, the spectator on the sidewalk can access a 360° panorama that takes them 6,000 km away to Berlin. The image starts to transform, showing 24 hours in the life of a city at once so far away, yet so close. Is daily life so different in Berlin? A new kind of interactive device for bringing city-dwellers together.
