In Polifemicos, the users enter in and walk over a video projection, where the system track their movement and responds by opening a ‘video wound’ on a chair where some videos are played. These are composed by medical footage of cameras exploring body cavities.
It was made in Colombia as a part of the project Mi(OP)tologies between 2004 and 2005, a theorical research project that supports the possibility of producing a series of artistic experiments using digital media. The Idea comes from the interest in the development of ways of visualizing flows of surveillance information, in a metaphoric relationship with physicality, electronic delirium and the creation of contemporary myths. Polifemicos, an interactive installation programmed in Lingo and presented in the Colon Theater of Bogota/Colombia, is the first outcome of the series of productions that would complement and feed the evolution of the research process.
